Not totally pro-life
“I am killing the wanted child ...”
“wanted child” is a modern pro-abortion term..
no 1910-20 woman would have said that..
Since I was not living in the 1920’s, I would hardly know if ‘wanted” or “unwanted” would have the political connotations that it does today.
Of course, since you lived in the 1920’s and were old enough to know what terms would be used and always in the context they would use them, I guess we disagree (DUCKING because of my reference to your, ahem, ‘age’)

I thought I was up to speed on my pro-abort terms.......and it never crossed my mind that she was using modern lingo.
I took it as she wanted this baby because she realized it is a child and she is in love with the father.
Sorry, but the evil Margaret Sanger (whom I have studied for years), was in her hay day in the 1920’s. One of her most famous speeches began with the line, “It is the right of every child to be wanted.”
