Elizabeth Cady Stanton (November 12, 1815 – October 26, 1902) was a social activist, and a leading figure of the early women's rights movement in the United States. Along with her husband, Henry Stanton and cousin, Gerrit Smith, Elizabeth Cady Stanton was an active abolitionist before she settled on women's issues as her primary focus. Stanton had a strong friendship with abolitionist and former slave Frederick Douglass.
Stanton was an outspoken supporter and speech writer of the 19th century temperance movement. She and Susan B. Anthony were instrumental in founding the short-lived Woman's State Temperance Society (1852-53). During her presidency of the organization, she scandalized many supporters by suggesting that drunkenness be made sufficient cause for divorce. She was a strong critic of religion in general and Christianity in particular, which distanced her from the religiously oriented Woman's Christian Temperance Union. She also addressed other issues including the guardianship of children, reformation of divorce laws, and the economic health of the family.
In a view different from many modern activists, Stanton believed that abortion was infanticide (The Revolution, I, No. 5 (February 5, 1868), 1). She addressed the issue in an 1873 letter to Julia Ward Howe, recorded in Howe's diary at Harvard University Library, and in editions of the newsletter The Revolution, Stanton wrote, "When we consider that women are treated as property, it is degrading to women that we should treat our children as property to be disposed of as we see fit." She suggested that solutions to abortion would be found, at least in part, in the elevation and enfranchisement of women.
