Anthony showed little interest in the topic of abortion. [[Ann D. Gordon]], who led the [[Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony Papers]] project, an undertaking to collect and document materials written by those two co-workers, said that Anthony "never voiced an opinion about the sanctity of fetal life&nbsp;... and she never voiced an opinion about using the power of the state to require that pregnancies be brought to term."<ref name=Stevens2006>{{Cite web |last=Stevens |first=Allison |title=Susan B.

A [[Susan B. Anthony abortion dispute|dispute over Anthony's views on abortion]] developed after 1989 when some members of the [[anti-abortion movement]] began to portray Anthony as "an outspoken critic of abortion",<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Clark-Flory |first=Tracy |date=October 6, 2006 |title=Susan B. Anthony, against abortion? |website=Salon.com  |url=https://www.salon.com/2015/07/15/anthony}}</ref> citing various statements they said she had made. The anti-abortion advocacy group [[Susan B. Anthony List]] named itself after her on this basis. Gordon, Sherr and others contested this portrayal, saying these statements either were not made by Anthony, were not about abortion, or had been taken out of context.<ref name=Time>{{cite periodical |url=https://time.com/4106547/susan-b-anthony-elizabeth-cady-stanton-abortion/ |title=No, Susan B.
