Poster text[edit]
This poster misleads the viewer into thinking Susan B. Anthony was against legal abortion (calling her "anti-choice") despite the fact that she never made any such statement, and never tried to change abortion laws.[1][2] Instead, the quote is from Frances Willard who was remembering a sentiment expressed by Anthony when Anthony was asked by a "leading publicist" why she never became a wife or had any children of her own. Anthony replied to him by recalling a legal victory of hers in overturning an unfair child custody practice in estate law in which a father could specify in his will that a guardian other than his wife would care for his children, even if his wife was pregnant at the time of his death, (carrying "unborn little ones"), such that the children would be taken away from their mother at birth. Willard quoted Anthony:
I thank you kind sir, for what I take to be the highest compliment, but sweeter even than to have had the joy of caring for children of my own has it been to me to help bring about a better state of things for mothers generally, so that their unborn little ones could not be willed away from them.[3][4][5]
This poster was made by Feminists for Life to promote their campaign of reducing and removing access to legal abortion. The poster reads:
Another Anti-Choice Fanatic
"Sweeter even than to have had the joy of caring for children of my own has it been to me to help bring about a better state of things for mothers generally, so their unborn little ones could not be willed away from them." — Susan B. Anthony
The woman who fought for the right to vote also fought for the right to life. We proudly continue her legacy.
