—Erik H. Erikson (20th century)
“All of womens aspirationswhether for education, work, or any form of self-determinationultimately rest on their ability to decide whether and when to bear children. For this reason, reproductive freedom has always been the most popular item in each of the successive feminist agendasand the most heavily assaulted target of each backlash.”
