Abstract
It must be admitted that women have but little sense of justice . . . . We say also of women that their social interests are weaker than those of men, and that their capacity for the sublimation of their instincts is less.
Respect for human life finds an ultimate expression in the bond of love the mother has for her child . . . . While we find no reliable data to measure the phenomenon, it seems unexceptionable to conclude some women come to regret their choice to abort the infant life they once created and sustained.
