Barbara Harris is adamant that her sympathies lie with the children whose lives she wishes to prevent and not with their desperate mothers. Her attitude towards these women comes through clearly in her statement that drug addicted women are “having litters.

The Reality of Illegal Abortions →

We talked a little about Shirley Chisholm and her work with abortion laws on Tuesday and again, the reality of women performing abortions on themselves or allowing other women to do it just...

Above, I have posted two articles from our school’s daily newspaper. As it was so easily noticeable, last Thursday I was more than offended when we left class, I was more insulted by the turn the conversation took. Read the two articles above, and I...

Thanks,
