Why wasn't this thing more publicized? The Feminists for Life outfit has long pushed the lies the 19th suffragists like Anthony and Stanton were anti-abortion, and never mind the very different environment in those days. Concerns over abortion had nothing to do with the rights of the fetus and "exploitation" of women but had to do with medical concerns and even xenophobic concerns about immigration.
Now the house has been converted into a museum designed for anti-abortion propaganda.
Anthony must be spinning in her grave to see her memory be smeared in this fashion:
With the grand opening of the Susan B. Anthony Birthplace & Museum approaching in February 2010, the historic building on East Road will have a new executive director.
The birthplace board of directors announced recently that it has hired Sally Winn to take over for interim director Martha Dailey in running the 191-year-old home of Adams’ most famous daughter.
Winn has been an advocate for women and children for the last 15 years, having been the vice-president of the Washington D.C.-based Feminists for Life and most recently the operations director of the Florence Crittenton Center for Pregnant and Parenting Teens in Montana.
Winn said she was drawn to the job in Adams for the opportunity to connect with the works of Susan B. Anthony.
"This woman has been such a huge part of everything that I, my daughters and every other woman has been able to achieve in life," Winn said from her Montana home. "To be able to come out there and help spread her legacy and inform more people about the wonderful things she did was a great opportunity. Most people know about the 19th Amendment, but so many people don’t realize the work she did with the abolitionist movement and even the Quaker background she was raised in. I can’t imagine not being thrilled with this opportunity."
According to Anthony scholars and biographers like journalist Lynn Sherr, there is no evidence at all of Anthony being anti-abortion.
