If Congress refuse to listen to and grant what women ask, there is but one course left then to pursue. What is there left for women to do but to become the mothers of the future government?

I supposed that to marry was to be transported to a heaven not only of happiness but of purity and perfection.

If women would today would rise en masse and demand their emancipation, the men would be compelled to grant it.

I ask the rights to pursue happiness by having a voice in that government to which I am accountable.

The rights of children as individuals begin while yet they remain the foetus...Whoever has read the 'Weekly' knows I hold abortion (except to save the life of the mother) to be just as much murder as the killing of a person after birth is murder.

I do not assume to speak for anyone. I know I speak in direct opposition to the wishes of many by whom I am surrounded.

You are all aware that my private life has been pictured to the public by the press of the country with the intent to make people believe me to be a very bad woman.
