No. I was referring to the slaughtered sacred cow of bipartisan feminism.

"Much as I deplore the horrible crime of child-murder, earnestly as I desire its suppression, I cannot believe . . . that such a law [prohibiting abortion] would have the desired effect" [Anthony, Susan B., "Marriage and Maternity," in The Revolution, 4(1):4 (July 8, 1869)].

Anthony also agreed with Elizabeth Cady Stanton on religion.

Eh, to be honest, I have quite a bit of a degree of respect for Susan B. Anthony, since at least she made clear she holds abortion in utter disgust, which is much better than the feminists of today who if anything genuinely love it. And to be fair, she kind of has a point regarding a law not having the desired effect. Look at Prohibition. That was started to outlaw any drinking of alcohol. Even though that was the desired outcome, all prohibition did was make the situation even WORSE, actually led to the increase of organized crime. Now, if there’s a way to create a law that is enforceable and actually ENSURES there isn’t a buildup of organized crime or something similar, then we’re talking. Can’t say I agree with her on the Women’s Bible, though, OR with Stanton, for that matter.
