w om an was m y father’s m other; her name was Hannah; she died of blood poisoning after
attem pting a self-adm inistered abortion with a knitting needle.
Hannah was a vital young wom an; she had grown up on a ranch in the wilderness of
northern Arizona. Hannah was a strongly independent woman who found herself in an
intolerable situation; shortly after filin g for a divorce from her husband (m y grandfather) she

choice. She died in 1913, a victim o f the same forces which would, again, condem n many

We m ust not allow the anti-choice forces to turn back the clock. We m ust preserve the right
o f each wom an to make her own choice whether or not to term inate an unwanted pregnancy
w ith a safe, legal abortion.
