I would be critical of a member active in the anti-abortion movement

Alan ,yes so would I but my criticism of it would not be on grounds of  reformism because the Anti abortion movement does not conform to the definition of reformism I suggested above .   This is why we need to apply an approach that separates the wheat from the chaff, so to speak

To be called reformist its field of activity has to be political i.e. centred on the state and its focus of activity has to be the economic realm since capitalism itself is a fundamentally economic construction

The anti abortion movement may fall under the former but clearly does not fall under the latter…
