jun 1, 1856 - Influential Proclamation
Description:
Dr. Horatio Storer states that abortion is immoral and that it should be stopped. He issued a petition for the termination of laws legalizing abortion through his position at the American Medical Association. It is significant because it was the first step to prohibiting abortion. This event displays the view that abortion is morally unjust, supported by pro life stakeholders. These stakeholders believe that giving women the right to abort is no better than giving them the right to murder. They are constantly fighting for the withdrawal of abortion rights.
