Guilty?

"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!"
~ Susan B. Anthony, The Revolution, July 8, 1869 ~

Sweeter even than...

"Sweeter even than to have had the joy of caring for children of my own has it been to me to help bring about a better state of things for mothers generally, so that their unborn little ones could not be willed away from them."
~ Susan B. Anthony, quoted in The American Feminist, Spring 1998 ~
