The Crusader
“Now, I have set before you and painted a horrific, yet true account so
that you can appreciate the time in which you live in history. This is May 1973.
There were two events of importance that occurred on January 22nd of this
year. First, former President Lyndon Baines Johnson died, (no great loss), and
second and by far the most important event for women in our lifetime was the
Supreme Court ruling in Roe vs. Wade in a 7 to 2 majority, that a woman has a
constitutional right to have an abortion! Again girls, this is the most important
event for women, probably in the history of our nation. It is my deepest hope
that you will become involved in the battle for equal rights for women and live
out in your lives the great principles of the women’s rights movement.” She
continued her discourse until the bell rang. “I see our time is up. Have a won-
derful summer, be careful and I hope to see you again this fall.”
