Human beings lose their logic in their vindictiveness.

The women of this country ought be enlightened in regard to the laws under which they live, that they may no longer publish their degradation by declaring themselves satisfied with their present position, nor their ignorance, by asserting that they have all the rights they want.

The bible teaches that women brought sin and death into the world. I don't believe that any man ever talked with god. The bible was written by man out of his love of domination.

Because man and woman are the complement of one another, we need woman's thought in national affairs to make a safe and stable government.

The memory of my own suffering has prevented me from ever shadowing one young soul with the superstition of the Christian religion.

As women are taking an active part in pressing on the consideration of Congress many narrow sectarian measures, such as more rigid Sunday laws, the stopping of travel, the distribution of the mail on that day, and the introduction of the name of God into the Constitution; and as this action on the part of some women is used as an argument for the disfranchisement of all, I hope this convention will declare that the Woman Suffrage Association is opposed to all union of Church and State, and pledges itself as far as possible to maintain the secular nature of our Government.

Who, I ask you, can take, dare take, on himself the rights, the duties, the responsibilities of another human soul?
