"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, 4(1): 4 July 8, 1869

"All the articles on this subject that I have read have been from men.
They denounce women as alone guilty, and never include man in any plans for the remedy."
       -Susan B. Anthony, The Revolution

"There must be a remedy even for such a crying evil as this. But where shall it be found, at least where begin,

has been greatly wronged." -Mattie Brinkerhoff, The Revolution

"Every woman knows that if she were free, she would never bear an unwished-for child, nor think of murdering one before its birth."  -Wheeling, West Virginia Evening Standard, November 17, 1875

"I find it impossible to subscribe to a philosophy that believes that the destruction of human life is a
legitimate solution to a problem that is mostly social, economic and psychological...In reality, most women 'choose' abortion because they believe they have no other choice." -Patricia Heaton
