This #WomensEqualityDay, we remember the legacy and vision of our pro-life foremothers. 1/
"How can one protect and help women by killing them as babies?... Abortion is the ultimate exploitation of women." -Alice Paul, suffragist, feminist, and women's rights activist. 2/
“The gross perversion and destruction of motherhood by the abortionist filled me with indignation, and awakened active antagonism.” -Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell, first female physician 3/
“Perhaps there will come a time when an unmarried mother will not be despised because of her motherhood… and when the right of the unborn to be born will not be denied or interfered with." -Sarah Norton, suffragist and author. 4/
"When a man steals to satisfy hunger, we may safely conclude that there is something wrong with society - so when a woman destroys the life of an unborn child it is an evidence that by education or circumstances she has been greatly wronged." -Mattie Brinkerhoff, suffragist 5/
"The rights of children as individuals begin while yet they remain the fetus...I hold abortion to be just as much murder as the killing of a person after birth is murder." -Victoria Woodhull, 1st women candidate for U.S. president 6/
