Curious if he has a quote on abortion, which is a tyranny visited on women, as this would apply, "It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies."

Here's one I found - from https://www.liveaction.org/news/what-did-c-s-lewis...

So how did this towering Christian intellect feel about abortion? In short, he considered it a sin. In a personal letter dated July 1951, Lewis made this statement:

"It is certainly not wrong to try to remove the natural consequences of sin provided the means by which you remove them are not in themselves another sin. (E.g. it is merciful and Christian to remove the natural consequences of fornication by giving the girl a bed in a maternity ward and providing for the child’s keep and education, but wrong to remove them by abortion or infanticide.) (Collected Letters of C. S. Lewis, Vol. III, 91)"
