Thank you for all the links and research. I've bookmarked this article so the info will be at my fingertips. Another fact I like throwing at the feminists is that most terroritories out West let the women vote. When the states were admitted to the Union, that right went away. I think women had the right to vote in Utah since the Mormon pioneer settled and lost that right when Utah became a state in 1896.

Another fact to leave them tongue tied is that Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B Anthony were very vocal in their opposition to abortion. PBS did a special on them and the history of the Women's Rights Movment in the US a few years ago, without mentioning one word about their adament opposition to abortion. Here is what they had to say.

Susan B. Anthony on abortion: "The woman is awfully guilty who commits the deed. It will burden her conscience in life. It will burden her soul in death."

Elizabeth Cady Stanton: "When we consider that women are treated as property, it is degrading that we should treat our children as property to be disposed of as we see fit. There must be a remedy even for such crying evil as this (abortion). But where shall it be found? At least, where begin, if not in the complete enfranchisement and elevation of women."

Another fact that I wasn't aware of was how many feminists were against abortion in their early careers. Many regarded abortion as caving into pressure from men to rid themselves of offspring. Ah, the dark secrets of the Left.
