“When we consider that women are treated as property, it is degrading to women that we should treat our children as property to be disposed of as we see fit.” –Elizabeth Cady Stanton
The Sanger crowd is one thing. But they were always about the sexual revolution, changing our mores, more than they cared about women. That would be no different today, I agree.
But some of those suffragettes would be with social cons today on abortion & co., I’d guess, going on what they said back then. The neat group Feminists for Life are the only “feminists” who hold onto that memory. (And, by the way, I liked “Feminists for Life” even before they gave me an award.)
