The pamphlet outlines what the bill is, what it is not, what it costs, and why it is necessary.

Better Babies [suffrage pamphlet]
Description
An account of the resource
National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) pamphlet on how woman suffrage improves children's health. <br />Cover editorial cartoon by Rose O'Neill. Originally published in <em><a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=chi.21171404&view=2up&seq=132" target="_blank" title="The Woman Voter on HathiTrust.org" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Woman Voter</a>, </em>May 1916.<br /><br />Text excerpts: <br /><br />"300,000 babies die every year in the United States before they are one year old. <br /><br />The death of a baby in at least 50 per cent. of the cases is due to <strong>preventable causes.</strong><br /><br />Five times as many babies die in crowded tenement districts as in a well-to-do quarter of a city. Lack of air and sunshine, poor food, bad sanitation, overwork of the mothers, both before and after marriage, above all <strong>ignorance</strong> on the part of the <strong>mother</strong>, are responsible for most of these deaths....<br /><br />Isn't it evident that when mothers are represented in govenment and their opinions and interests are consulted, babies have a better chance? Isn't it proved that women with the ballot do <strong>not</strong> neglect their home and babies?<br /><br /><strong>Giving</strong> the <strong>ballot</strong> to <strong>women</strong> not only <strong>helps</strong> them to <strong>do</strong> their <strong>own work</strong> more <strong>effectively</strong>, but <strong>actually increases</strong> the <strong>wealth</strong> of the <strong>nation.</strong>"
