Abolitionists/pro-life workers

[Janet_S]

How it pleases me here to think of the Abolitionists! I could never
endure to be with them at home; they were so tedious, often so narrow,
always so rabid and exaggerated in their tone. But, after all, they
had a high motive, something eternal in their desire and life; and, if
it was not the only thing worth thinking of, it was really something
worth living and dying for, to free a great nation from such a blot,
such a plague. God strengthen them, and make them wise to achieve
their purpose!

I came across this quote by Margaret Fuller, an American feminist and journalist from the 19th century. It struck me of the similarity between what she said about the abolitionists and what many people today say about the pro-life/anti-abortion activists. Both are considered by their own generations as “obsessed” and “crazy,” but time will be the true judge.

God bless them both. They are true heroes.
