Quote #1 on Social Struggle Quotes >> Reproductive Liberty and Mothers
“We have discovered that initial intelligence... in the mothers of the most poverty-stricken strata of society -- a rudimentary type of intelligence, if you will, but nevertheless capable of growth and development if nourished and cultivated in a sympathetic and civilized way -- by sympathy, by answering the questions nearest the poor mother's heart, be meeting her needs, by divesting the technique of contraception of its harsh, professional and incomprehensible verbiage so that it becomes an everyday matter in her life.”
