 "There is tremendous sadness, loneliness in the cry, 'A woman's right to choose.'  No woman wants an abortion as she wants an ice cream cone or a Porsche.  She wants an abortion, as an animal caught in a trap, wants to gnaw off its own leg."  ~Frederica Mathewes-Green

"America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. It has sown violence and discord at the heart of the most intimate human relationships. It has aggravated the derogation of the father's role in an increasingly fatherless society. It has portrayed the greatest of gifts -- a child -- as a competitor, an intrusion, and an inconvenience. It has nominally accorded mothers unfettered dominion over the independent lives of their physically dependent sons and daughters"
And, in granting this unconscionable power, it has exposed many women to unjust and selfish demands from their husbands or other sexual partners. Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be declared to be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or a sovereign."   ~Mother Teresa

"But I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child - a direct killing of the innocent child - murder by the mother herself. And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another? How do we persuade a woman not to have an abortion? As always, we must persuade her with love, and we remind ourselves that love means to be willing to give until it hurts. Jesus gave even his life to love us. So the mother who is thinking of abortion, should be helped to love - that is, to give until it hurts her plans, or her free time, to respect the life of her child. The father of that child, whoever he is, must also give until it hurts. By abortion, the mother does not learn to love, but kills even her own child to solve her problems. And by abortion, the father is told that he does not have to take any responsibility at all for the child he has brought into the world. That father is likely to put other women into the same trouble. So abortion just leads to more abortion. Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching the people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want. That is why the greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion. "  ~Mother Teresa

"What is taking place in America, is a war against the child.  And if we accept that the mother can kill her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another."  ~Mother Teresa

"Any country that accepts abortion, is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what it wants."  ~Mother Teresa

"It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish."  ~Mother Teresa

"It's easy to be pro-choice when you're not the one being killed."   ~Unknown

"Only half the patients who go into an abortion clinic come out alive."  ~Unknown

"They [the women] are never allowed to look at the ultrasound because we knew that if they so much as heard the heart beat, they wouldn't want to have an abortion."  ~Dr. Randall

"I have seen hundreds of patients in my office who have had abortions and were just lied to by the abortion counselor. Namely 'This is less painful than having a tooth removed. It is not a baby.' Afterwards, the woman sees Life magazine and breaks down and goes into a major depression." --Psychologist Vincent Rue

 "Abortion is advocated only by persons who have themselves been born."  ~Ronald Reagan

"Make no mistake, abortion-on-demand is not a right guaranteed by the Constitution. No serious scholar, including one disposed to agree with the Court's result, has argued that the framers of the Constitution intended to create such a right."  ~Ronald Reagan

  "After tens of millions of [abortion] 'procedures,' has America lost anything? Another Edison, perhaps? A Gershwin? A Babe Ruth? A Duke Ellington? … As it is, we will never know what abortion has cost us all."  ~Joseph Sobran

"If you haven't seen what abortion does, then you will never understand what abortion actually is."  ~ Clenard Howard Childress

"Between 1882 and 1968, 3,446 Blacks were lynched in the U.S. That number is surpassed in less than 3 days by abortion."  ~ Clenard Howard Childress
