Susan B. Anthony: “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, for selfish gratification, heedless of her prayers, indifferent to her fate, drove her to the desperation which impels her to the crime.”
Elizabeth Cady Stanton: “When we consider that women have been treated as property it is degrading to women that we should treat our children as property to be disposed of as we see fit.”
Victoria Woodhull: “Every woman knows that if she were free, she would never bear an unwished-for child, nor think of murdering one before its birth.”
