Susan B. Anthony

Since Life Issues Institute recently merged with Susan B. Anthony List, I thought you’d like to know who Susan B. Anthony was.  She was a women’s suffrage leader.  She was raised to believe everyone is equal before God.  Her father owned a cotton mill, but he refused to buy it from farmers who owned slaves.  Anthony was arrested for voting and admitted to supporting a straight Republican ticket – likely due to the Party’s abolition efforts.  She said this about abortion: “I deplore the horrible crime of child-murder.”  But she also had compassion for the mothers who chose abortion.  “It will be a burden to her conscience in life, it will burden her soul in death.”  Most feminists like Susan B. Anthony were pro-life, and now we must fulfill their legacy of loving both mother and child.
