Pro-choice activist Nora Johnson:
“Perhaps the major problem of pro-choice public relations is that the image of this procedure we so believe in – of someone scraping or vacuuming out a woman’s insides, digging between her legs into her tender sexual passage, blood, gooey tissue, injured fetus all falling out – is aesthetically a disaster. Are we really pro- that ?
Nora Johnson, “Whose Life Is It?”, “Hers” column, the New York Times Magazine, January 23, 1994 quoted in Frederica Mathews-Green. Real Choices: Offering Practical, Life-Affirming Alternatives to Abortion (Sisters, Oregon: Multnomah Books, 1994)
