"Child murderers practice their profession without let or hindrance, and open infant butcheries unquestioned...Is there no remedy for all this ante-natal child murder?...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."
(English poet and early woman's rights champion Sarah Norton, writing in Woodhull's and Claffin's Weekly Magazine, November 19, 1870) (See more quotations from early feminists decrying the barbaric, anti-woman practice of abortion on this web page.)
