Political Quotes

“this Monday will mark the 179th anniversary of the birth of Susan B. Anthony, a prominent figure in our Nation's history whose influence has been as remarkable as any President of the United States. Susan B. Anthony's lifelong work to ensure equal rights for women and essentially equal rights for all mankind can never be forgotten nor understated. However, some choose to ignore how her struggle to obtain equal rights also included the rights of the unborn. To Susan B. Anthony, abortion could never be separated from her promotion of women's rights. She could not separate the two causes, because to those early feminists, abortion was nothing less than child murder. She said, ``We want prevention, not punishment.'' For her, such prevention meant promoting dignity and true equality for the born and the unborn. Every American, and especially every female, owes much to pioneers such as Susan B. Anthony. On this upcoming 179th anniversary of her birth, we should all pay tribute to this great American, to this great leader, to this wonderful right-to-life advocate, Susan B. Anthony.”
