Kristen Soltis Anderson Quotes
Thoughtful education programs and access to effective forms of contraception are key to preventing unplanned pregnancy.
Anderson, Kristen Soltis. "Commentary." Washington Examiner, 2017.
In 1877 Annie Besant and Charles Bradlaugh attempted to publish The Fruits of Philosophy in Britain. It was a book on Birth Control. The two were immediately arrested and charged with publishing an ‘obscene’ book. Gifford was the Public Prosecutor. The authors were convicted and sentenced to 6 months in prison. However, they appealed and were exonerated in the appeal. The case was good for Gifford who went on to become Lord Chancellor of Britain. The trial was a strong motivator for Annie Besant to have a very activist career thereafter.
Not all abortion opponents object to birth control, but many do believing the two practices to be morally sinful. While the abortion conflict is given more publicity there are many in America who would return to the pre 1963 era when birth control was criminalized.
