Legal abortion pioneer: women don’t have the right to reproduce

Dr. Lonny Myers, who was active in the fight to get abortion legalized:

“I will not support the right of a 14-year-old to have a baby. I don’t believe that women have the right to reproduce indefinitely. I will not stand up and say they have the right to have 10 or 12 children. When you have no means of support, when you have them and deposit them on society.”

So much for pro-choice!
