Early Outspoken Opponents of Abortion - all women

Susan B Anthony Web Site ^

[AgThorn]

The namesake of the Susan B. Anthony List was an outspoken opponent of abortion, referring to it as "child murder." Anthony's colleagues were united with her in this position.

	"Guilty? Yes. No matter what the motive, love of ease, or a desire to save from suffering the unborn innocent, the woman is awfully guilty who commits the deed. It will burden her conscience in life, it will burden her soul in death; but oh, thrice guilty is he who...drove her to the desperation which impelled her to the crime!" -The Revolution, 1869

"When we consider that women are treated as property, it is degrading to women that we should treat our children as property to be disposed of as we see fit." - Elizabeth Cady Stanton in a letter to Julia Ward Howe, October 16, 1873. Recorded in Howe's diary at Harvard University Library.

	"Abortion is the ultimate exploitation of women." -Alice Paul is the author of the original Equal Rights Amendment (1923)

"Every woman knows that if she were free, she would never think of murdering a child before its birth." -Victoria Woodhull was America's first female presidential candidate. Wheeling, West Virginia Evening Standard November 17, 1875

Since Roe V. Wade, there have been 28 million
abortions in this country.

This is an atrocity. We believe a crucial part to ending abortion is to have women speaking out AGAINST abortion. The media and the pro-abortion lobby have created the perception that ALL women are "pro-choice," and that abortion is a "Women's Issue." This is ridiculous.

Poll after poll shows that women are more pro-life than "pro-choice."
Illegal or "Stricter Limits" for all age groups		Illegal or "Stricter Limits" for 18-29 year old women

January 1998 Nationwide New York Times/CBS News Poll
— 63% of women felt abortion should be illegal or available only under "stricter limits." Of 18-29 year old women, the percentage was 70%.

	Illegal in all cases or with "stricter limits"
	Legal at any time
	Legal in 1st Trimester
	Legal in 2nd trimester
	Undecided

Bacelice & Associates June 1998— 54% of women felt abortion should be illegal in ALL cases or only allowed for rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother. Women who felt abortion should be legal at any time 10%, legal in the 1st Trimester 25%, legal in the 2nd Trimester 5%.
	Gallup 1998 - 23% of women say abortion should be legal in all circumstances. (Down from 36% in 1995)

We all know women are uniquely connected to this issue. The pro-abortion forces have used this to their advantage. We must counter their efforts and have women in public office who will stand up on the floors of the House and Senate and say enough is enough, women want abortion stopped.

Currently there are 72 women in Congress and only 7 of these women are pro-life, that is less than 10%! When bills come before Congress to restrict abortions, radical pro-abortion Congresswomen and Senators dominate the debate. This is just not acceptable. We are determined to change this.

In addition, we need women to act as a grassroots lobbying force and as messengers contacting Congress and state legislatures.

When a woman speaks out against abortion, her voice is listened to — she can make a great difference.

"Since Roe V. Wade, there have been 28 million abortions in this country."

Probably closer to 40 million.

" when did you last rescue a poor dog or cat or salamander from the pound?"

Never saw a salamander in a pound, do you mean pond?

We did put a turkey (one of your relatives?) to good use this week though!

"Never saw a salamander in a pound,"

That was his point.
LOL!
BTW: Have you been noticing how many cannibals are running around on our streets lately?

"People are made of meat too...and I believe there are alot of cannibals still around....are you doing anything about it?"

Thanks for the great posting! Here's another very good anti-murder site: Abortiontv.com

It's a really cool site that does not open to ugly pictures.

Petition SIGNED!!!!!! You're wonderful for doing this. Lots of hard work in here. Thanks for helping all those babies...and their moms.

[Sungirl]

Cob1...you are taking a post of mine out of context. You need to post the whole thread so people can understand why I was talking about cannibalism. You are doing this deliberately. Try to at least be fair about it.

"When we consider that women are treated as property, it is degrading to women that we should treat our children as property to be disposed of as we see fit."

I have often heard anti-free choice people say that pregant women who do not want their baby should deliver that baby and put it up for adoption.

Now you are saying she must keep her child rather than dispose of it by adoption?

What next?

Nailed it.

"You need to post the whole thread so people can understand why I was talking about cannibalism."

If I posted every thread since FR started it wouldn't make people understand any better why you were talking about cannibalism.
That was completely off the wall - the rubber wall of your room.
You've got a choice - take your meds and go to bed, or service up your flame thrower 'cause you're going to need it!

Bumped back to the top, and bookmarked, too.

Thanks AgThorn.

Ping!

BUMP! and PING!

[Gophack]

GREAT SITE! Great resource for us pro-life women ... Keep up the great work!

[~EagleNebula~]

Now you are saying she must keep her child rather than dispose of it by adoption? What next?

You misunderstand, as has been typical on other threads. People I know wouldn't say that putting a child up for adoption is "disposing" of a child! You have misconstrued the quote. Wrong twist!

Whose dander are you trying to get up today? Seems the past few days you were out to antagonize wherever you went.

[hsszionist]

Attention all liberals, halt all abortions, it's for all the children, not just for the 30% of the last generation who were lucky enough to have been permitted to live.

[He Rides A White Horse]

You misunderstand mislead, as has been typical on other threads.

Touche'!
