Agreed. However there was not the same focus on the rights of the unborn as there is now. Apart from the Catholic Church which, if having to choose, would always support the survival of the unborn child over the mother, the aim of these activists (not always, but generally) was the welfare of the woman; and alleviation of the conditions that allowed, nay forced, it to happen. My own mother worked as a midwifery nurse in York (Northern England) in the early 1930s, and in the 1950s was still railing against the conditions that forced so many women to attempt "backyard" abortions. I may be wrong, but I can only say it as I see it.....[[User:AlanE|AlanE]] 17:28, 16 May 2007 (EDT)

== Wesleyan Church ==
Why was the part about the Seneca Falls meeting taking place in a Wesleyan Church removed? While it is true this information is repressed in the main media, including the anniversary celebration, shouldn't we be proud of the fact that Christian heritage was not as anti-women's rights as is usually portrayed by its defractors?
