"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
