Helen Bayley was a member of the local League of Women Voters in New York, and she became active in the pro-choice movement after being forced to have two psychiatrists pronounce her mentally unstable in order to have an abortion. (In the 1960s, in some states, a woman had to claim mental illness in order to be granted and abortion) From the book Before Roe:
Im going to kill my kids, I raged. I said Ill go berserk. I felt that way. I felt like a tigress. I felt I was clawing my way out of a thicket.
The book goes on to say:
Bailey became a vocal supporter of abortion reform, testifying in a legislative hearing in Albany in the spring of 1968 and lobbying legislators.

Angry hysteria is what keeps abortion supporters together.
