“Freedom or Death ”Emmeline Pankhurst

Hartford, Connecticut on November 13 1913

I do not come here as an advocate, because whatever position the suffrage movement may occupy in the United States of America, in England it has passed beyond the realm of advocacy and it has entered into the sphere of practical politics. It has become the subject of revolution and civil war, and so tonight I am not here to advocate woman suffrage. American suffragists can do that very well for themselves.

Speech text from: http://www.guardian.co.uk/theguardian/2007/apr/27/greatspeeches

I am here as a soldier who has temporarily left the fieldof battle in order to explain - it seems strange it shouldhave to be explained - what civil war is like when civilwar is waged by women. I am not only here as a soldiertemporarily absent from the field at battle; I am here –and that, I think, is the strangest part of my coming – Iam here as a person who, according to the law courtsof my country, it has been decided, is of no value to thecommunity at all; and I am adjudged because of my lifeto be a dangerous person, under sentence of penalservitude in a convict prison.

So here am I. I come in theintervals of prison appearance. Icome after having been four timesimprisoned under the "Cat andMouse Act", probably going backto be rearrested as soon as I set

myfoot on British soil. I come to askyou to help to win this fight. If wewin it, this hardest of all fights,then, to be sure, in the future it isgoing to be made easier forwomen all over the world to wintheir fight when their time comes.

Ending Choice 1:

“In Bhopal, more than 10,000 people diedbecause of an accident. We must never let ithappen again.”

Actual Ending . . .

“A few weeks after that tragedy, a British film crewwent to Bhopal and interviewed dozens of people therevictims and non victims. The resulting program, called‘The Killing of Bhopal,’ recently aired on publictelevision in the United States. And what it dramaticallyshowed was what we might call the public's answer toall of our sophisticated risk assessments, riskprobabilities, risk quantifications and public educationprograms on how safe our industry is.

“It showed doctors and nurses frantically trying to learn what had happened, to know how to treat the victim

“It showed a mother describing how her baby died in her arms, choking to death.

“It showed a young wife who watched her husband die.“It showed a 12 year old boy who was the only survivor of his

large family.“For all our talk about the safety of chemicals, these scenes

from Bhopal are the end point of chemical risk. We must live up to what the public expects of us, and do our jobs as we know we can.

“Anything less is failing the trust we have to the public.“Anything less is failing ourselves.”
