“... in all cases of monstrosity at birth anaesthetics should be applied by doctors publicly appointed for that purpose... Every successive year would see fewer of the unfit born, and finally none. But, it may be urged, this is legalized infanticide. Assuredly it is; and it is urgently needed.”
—Tennessee Claflin (1846–1923)
“I was elected a Captain of Volunteers—a success which gave me more pleasure than any I have had since.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
