Women’s History IS American History!

As we celebrate the birth of the nation 250 years ago, we recognize that women’s history IS American history.

FFL is eager to celebrate our rich pro-life legacy this March and we invite you to bring your friends and family along.

Here is a sneak peek:

In 1913, on the eve of Woodrow Wilson’s inauguration, Inez Milholland Boissevain famously donned a cape and crown and, astride a horse, led thousands in protest down Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C. Collapsing and dying shortly after a speech, she became known as the martyr for women’s suffrage.

Graciela Olivarez was the highest-ranking Hispanic woman in President Carter’s administration.

She called upon anyone who considered the unborn child “a mass of cells” to witness an abortion procedure, as she had done. She prophetically detailed the harms of making abortion more accessible.

---

The mother of the women’s movement, Elizabeth Cady Stanton opposed abortion and infanticide, opinions she voiced in The Revolution, a newspaper she published with Susan B. Anthony. It is not surprising that a woman who was brassy enough to celebrate her motherhood in a scandalous fashion upheld motherhood as the ultimate right of women.

We invite you to gift yourself, family, or friend a tote bag that features my favorite photo of suffragists marching for the rights of women to vote alongside a woman of color and a little girl and baby in the stroller.

You and I walk in the shoes of Remarkable Pro-Life Women® who fought for slaves to be freed, women to vote, and mothers and their babies to be protected from abortion and supported.

Share our pro-life, pro-woman history as you follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and X this month.

Because women deserve better,

Serrin M. Foster
President
