If there is an accumulated societal silence on the subject, you’re dead in the water. You have to break the silence. I will never forget the strength of Dolores Delahanty standing up there before the committee and saying, “I’m a Catholic mother of five and I’m pro-choice.

It brings to mind a quote from Project (RFP) to ensure that advocacy for abortion our 40th Anniversary book printed in 1995 where Bill rights in Kentucky would continue – and 25 years Woolsey wrote, “In the sense of ending, there is no later we can celebrate that Kentucky remains one of conclusion in the struggle for civil liberties.
