As abortions were illegal then, you may find these activists were concerned more with the dangers to the health of the women having them, than the right to life of the baby.AlanE 03:20, 16 May 2007 (EDT)
- It's my understanding that she was pretty clear that it was the act of abortion itself that was abhorrant. If I recall correctly, she blamed men for forcing women to kill their babies when the woman had no choice but to go along with it because she had to count on the man financially and so had to do his will. No woman on her own would ever choose to kill her own baby. Learn together 17:03, 16 May 2007 (EDT)
