Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, didn't believe in abortion either.

https://rewire.news/article/2015/08/20/false-narratives-margaret-sanger-used-shame-black-women/

Sanger was pro-birth control and anti-abortion. This may surprise you, considering that Planned Parenthood opponents frequently accuse Sanger of erecting abortion clinics in Black neighborhoods, a practice they claim the organization continues to this day.

But this is simply not true.

Sanger opposed abortion. She believed it to be a barbaric practice. In her own words, “[a]lthough abortion may be resorted to in order to save the life of the mother, the practice of it merely for limitation of offspring is dangerous and vicious.” Her views are, ironically, in keeping with the views of many of the anti-choicers who malign and distort her legacy.

Abortion is our national sin. It makes my heart sick with sorrow and shame.

Today’s feminists are hate-filled shrews, baring their fang teeth at men, at human nature, and God.

This is why pro-abortionists hate Amy Barrett so viciously. She puts the lie to their excuse that they haven’t been able to achieve because they are women. Here is a lovely, brilliant woman who has a husband, seven beautiful children and will someday be on the SCOTUS, hopefully soon. What’s their excuse?

No drinking because they wanted their husbands home with them and not out in Saloons (bars of the day).

Look up Carrie Nation, she used to walk around with a Bible in one hand and a hatched in the other. She went to jail many of times for busting up saloons. She’d greet Saloon owners cheerfully by saying “Good morning destroyer of men’s souls”
Why did she do this you ask? She lost her husband, the man she loved to the bottle. Sound like a man hater to you or a saloon hater? Can’t say as I blame her.

Feminists today? Drunken whores, the whole lot of them!

Black people didn’t want it either. I’m in South and the black people who worked with me were quite angry when Roe v Wade passed. They said it was “get rid of black people”. Some time after, the Black leaders persuaded the black population to accept the law.

Even as late as the early 60's, PP literature said, "Contraception is not abortion. Abortion ends the life of a baby after it has begun."

However, their conviction that the right to be child-free was so absolute, that they did a 180, turned on a dime when the prospect of legalized abortion became a political possibility.

It illustrates how contraception paves the way for abortion. A woman's well-being and the weaturally coincide. Contraception sets up the woman and the child as adversaries, as if they were rivals for rights and status and well-being and care. Once you have the idea that you have a right to reliably sterile sex and erase the "rival", abortion is "necessary" to make it fail-safe.

Interestingly, Margaret Sanger's son Grant, and grandson Alexander, both were abortion advocates, seeing it as an extension (not a contradiction) of Margaret's values and goals.

Who were lesbians? Not the first-wave feminists Stanton, Blackwell and Anthony.

Lesbian chic didn't come along until way later.

Not sure what you’re saying. What was an anti-male campaign?

TYPO that took out a whole line.

A woman's well-being and the weaturally coincide.

spozeta be

A woman's well-being and the well-being of her child do not naturally conflict. They naturally coincide.

Honestly, to me, it sounds like she's the reason her husband took to drink. Not saying it to be snarky, but if that's how she was after his death, I'd imagine she wasn't much different before it.

She was something else...

Early life and first marriage
Nation was born in Garrard County, Kentucky, to George and Mary (née Campbell) Moore.[6] Her father was a successful farmer, stock trader, and slaveholder[5] of Irish descent. During much of her early life, her health was poor and her family experienced financial setbacks.[7] The family moved several times in Kentucky and finally settled in Belton, Missouri in 1854.[5] She had poor education and informal learning.

In addition to their financial difficulties, many of her family members suffered from mental illness, her mother at times having delusions.[7] There is speculation that the family did not stay in one place long because of rumors about Nation’s mother’s mental state. Some writers have speculated that Nation’s mother, Mary, believed she was Queen Victoria because of her love of finery and social airs. Mary lived in an insane asylum in Nevada, Missouri, from August 1890 until her death on September 28, 1893. Mary was put in the asylum through legal action by her son, Charles, although there is suspicion that Charles instigated the lawsuit because he owed Mary money.[5]

The family moved to Texas as Missouri became involved in the Civil War in 1862. George did not fare well in Texas, and he moved his family back to Missouri.[5] The family returned to High Grove Farm in Cass County. When the Union Army ordered them to evacuate their farm, they moved to Kansas City. Carrie nursed wounded soldiers after a raid on Independence, Missouri. The family again returned to their farm when the Civil War ended.[5]

In 1865 Carrie met Charles Gloyd, a young physician who had fought for the Union, who was a severe alcoholic.[8] Gloyd taught school near the Moores’ farm while deciding where to establish his medical practice. He eventually settled on Holden, Missouri, and asked Nation to marry him. Nation’s parents objected to the union because they believed he was addicted to alcohol, but the marriage proceeded.[5] They were married on November 21, 1867, and separated shortly before the birth of their daughter, Charlien, on September 27, 1868. Gloyd died in 1869 of alcoholism.[4]

The fact that abortion murder mills sell baby parts takes it up a notch. It is time to outlaw abortion. Not many countries in the WORLD have it as legal as America with murder on demand. The left will want to kill for the right to kill but screw the left and their shrill subhuman sycophants. Abortion is based on lies, deceit, ignorance and politics. It is time we finally proclaim life begins at conception with inherent rights of life and liberty.
