Blood confessions: From abortionist to champion of life: The original abortion-rights slogans from the early '70s – they remain virtual articles of faith and rallying cries of the 'pro-choice' movement to this day – were 'Freedom of choice' and 'Women must have control over their own bodies.'
'I remember laughing when we made those slogans up,' recalls Bernard Nathanson, M.D., co-founder of pro-abortion vanguard group NARAL, reminiscing about the early days of the abortion-rights movement in the late '60s and early '70s. 'We were looking for some sexy, catchy slogans to capture public opinion. They were very cynical slogans then, just as all of these slogans today are very, very cynical.'
