Two quotes sum it up:
“I just want people to realize that it’s not a question of whether abortion is legalized or not, it’s a question of whether women are going to have one that’s medically safe or terribly unsafe.
Every society that we know of, there have been abortions.
Women are just as desperate not to have children as they are to have children.”
“If we’re going to be equal in society, then we have to be able to control our reproduction. We have to be able to choose if and when we’re going to have children and how many.
We don’t have that. We’re at the whim of the pregnancies that come along.”
