Quote #12 on Social Struggle Quotes >> Reproductive Liberty and Child Well-Being
“Are not our feeble minded institutions and insane asylums monuments to careless and reckless breeding? Is it not time that our physicians, scientists, social workers and sages, is it not time that they face this array of facts and stop quibbling in hairsplitting debates over woman's morality. I say this because you all know that the principal objection in the minds of these people against the idea of birth control for the working woman, is that it may have a tendency to decrease her standards of morality. Solicitude for woman's morals has always been the cloak that authority has worn in its age-long conspiracy to keep her in bondage!!”
