For the suffragettes, abortion was not liberation. It was anti-woman. Alice Paul called it “The ultimate exploitation of woman.” Elizabeth Cady Stanton called it “The degradation of women." Stanton argued women were treated as their husbands’ property, and saw abortion as an extension of that violation to the unborn. Women who knew oppression saw its reflection in the unborn being treated as property instead of human beings. Abortion frames women’s nature as a curse and reduces the unborn to disposable.

Susan B. Anthony was the owner and publisher of The Revolution, which acted as the official voice of the National Women Suffrage Association. Abortion and infanticide were constantly denounced in The Revolution. They refused to print advertisements for abortion drugs despite the revenue they could introduce. They saw this practice as child murder and said that the doctors who practice it were “quacks” and should be criminalized.
