Quote #4 on Social Struggle Quotes >> Reproductive Liberty and Knowledge
“The mothers who are liberated -- and liberated through the exercise of their own intelligence and foresight -- from the relentless pressure of involuntary motherhood -- almost automatically become more interested in life, in the future, in the upbringing of their children, in the affairs of the community at large. In a word, they have become more civilized. And this has been made possible not through the much-vaulted agencies of popular education, but because she has been given simple, sanitary instruction which assures her mastery of her own body and procreative functions.”
