===Abortion===

In an October 1995 ''[[The New Republic|New Republic]]'' article, Wolf was critical of contemporary pro–choice positions, arguing that the movement had "developed a lexicon of dehumanization", and urged feminists to accept abortion as a form of homicide and defend the procedure within the ambiguity of this moral conundrum. She continued, "Abortion should be legal; it is sometimes even necessary. Sometimes the mother must be able to decide that the fetus, in its full humanity, must die."<ref name="TNR1995">{{cite magazine |last=Wolf |first=Naomi |date=October 16, 1995 |title=Our Bodies, Our Souls |magazine=The New Republic |pages=26–35 |volume=213 |issue=16}} reprinted here [http://www.priestsforlife.org/prochoice/ourbodiesoursouls.htm] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080507005445/http://www.priestsforlife.org/prochoice/ourbodiesoursouls.htm|date=May 7, 2008}}.</ref>

Wolf concluded by speculating that in a world of "real gender equality", passionate feminists "might well hold candlelight vigils at abortion clinics, standing shoulder to shoulder with the doctors who work there, commemorating and saying goodbye to the dead."<ref name="TNR1995"/> In a 2005 article for ''[[New York (magazine)|New York]]'' magazine on the subtle manipulation of [[George W. Bush]]'s image among women, Wolf wrote: "Abortion is an issue not of ''Ms.'' Magazine-style fanaticism or suicidal Republican religious reaction, but a complex issue."<ref>{{cite journal |last=Wolf |first=Naomi |url=https://nymag.com/nymetro/news/columns/thesexes/9911/ |title=Female Trouble |date=May 21, 2005 |journal=New York |access-date=April 20, 2020 |archive-date=August 4, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200804100336/https://nymag.com/nymetro/news/columns/thesexes/9911/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
