This is the woman which Stanton Healthcare was named after. Quite an amazing and bold woman! Read about what she thought about abortion as a groundbreaking feminist.
“Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815-1902), often regarded as a founder of the women’s rights movement and a mother of seven, strongly opposed abortion, viewing it as a form of infanticide. She argued that abortion was not a sign of women’s empowerment but rather a symptom of their oppression by men.
In her writing, she condemned the “murder of children, either before or after birth,” and attributed such practices to the broader “degradation of woman” in society. Stanton described a culture dominated by male power that oppressed women and, in turn, led to the suffering and death of children, urging women to assert their dignity and strength to end this injustice.”
