“Is adolescent pregnancy a disease? We have laws regarding other epidemics. We have mandatory immunizations, but we have no laws prohibiting motherhood before the age of 14 in our supposedly civilized society. We ought to mandate against continuing pregnancy in the very young, say, those less than 14 years.”
Minnesota abortionist Jane Hodgeson
Statement made at the May 28, 1980 National Abortion Federation conference in Washington DC. Quoted In American Life League’s Abortion Encyclopedia
