article clash with her known beliefs." Another article in The Revolution that was signed "A" took issue with one of its editorials, generating a discussion in which the editors referred its author as "Mr. A." FFL cites the writings of Stanton as supposedly opposing abortion, using her image many times on posters, flyers and other media. However, Stanton was a radical activist bent on reforming religious and society norms in order to halt the subjugation of women. She stayed out of the American Medical Association-generated debate about enacting laws against abortion, and she never voiced support for the criminalization of abortion or the restriction of women's right to choose.
