No woman wants an abortion.  Either she wants a child or she wishes to avoid pregnancy.  ~Author Unknown


Society does not need more children; but it does need more loved children.  Quite literally, we cannot afford unloved children - but we pay heavily for them every day.  There should not be the slightest communal concern when a woman elects to destroy the life of her thousandth-of-an-ounce embryo.  But all society should rise up in alarm when it hears that a baby that is not wanted is about to be born.  ~Garrett Hardin

Le Guin


Seventy-seven percent of anti-abortion leaders are men.  100% of them will never be pregnant.  ~Planned Parenthood advertisement


Abortion... was probably regarded by the average Roman of the later days of Paganism much as Englishmen in the last century regarded convivial excesses, as certainly wrong, but so venial as scarcely to deserve censure.  ~W.E.H. Lecky


The emphasis must be not on the right to abortion but on the right to privacy and reproductive control.  ~Ruth Bader Ginsberg


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


George W. Bush will protect your unborn fetus, then send your grown child to die in war.  ~Rick Claro


The states are not free, under the guise of protecting maternal health or potential life, to intimidate women into continuing pregnancies.  ~Justice Harry A. Blackmun, Roe v. Wade, 22 January 1973
