"A prediction: In coming decades, involuntary euthanasia will be commonplace in Europe, and Gen-Xers' battles to stay alive into old age will be treated with the same cold contempt as they treated the silent screams of the unborn. Millions will be put to sleep like aged and incontinent household pets. Since the 1960s, the radical young have pleaded for a world free of the strictures of the old Christian morality. They are close to getting what they have demanded; and my sense is that they will not like what they get."

Pat Buchanan





"Never before has the FDA approved a drug intended to kill people."

Rep. Tom Coburn, on RU-486

"Any society which does not insist upon respect for all life must necessarily decay."

Albert Einstein

"God is the only one who knows how many children we should have, and we should be ready to accept them. One can't decide for oneself who comes into this world and who doesn't. That decision doesn't belong to us."

Mel Gibson

"Politicians argue for abortion largely because they do not want to spend the necessary money to 
feed, clothe and educate more people... There are those who argue that the right to privacy is of 
higher order than the right to life. I do not share that view... That was the premise of slavery. 
You could not protest the existence or treatment of slaves on the plantation because that was 
private and therefore outside of your right to concerned."

Jesse Louis Jackson Sr. (born October 8, 1941) 'How we respect life is the over-riding moral issue';
Right to Life News, January 1977
"Look back in history, and not the new revised history of the public schools, but at human history as it really unfolded; and you will find that when nations began to kill their own children, those nations are doomed. We not only kill our own young, we shout our delight in this dark activity as some sort of new and wonderful act of liberation from the stultifying mores of the past. Since the Scriptures warn us against harming children, this is a very specific way to mock God and scream our defiance at the heavens, fists clenched tightly around a condom, that symbol of the age. And we wonder why our children kill?"

Michael Peirce

"Going around the poor parts of the world shoving birth-control pills down people's throats, hustling them into abortion clinics, and giving them cheap prizes for getting sterilized is to assume that those people don't want babies as much as we do, that they won't like those babies as well as we like ours, and that little brown and yellow babies are not as good as the adorable pink, rich kind. American children grow up to be valuable citizens. Bangladeshi children grow up to be part of the world population problem. They just aren't giving birth to any Marky Marks or Howard Sterns in Dhaka."

 P.J. O'Rourke, All the Trouble in the World, p.14

"The New York Times and The Washington Post chose to mark the silver anniversary of Roe vs. Wade with cover stories in their weekly magazines on the plight of "abortion providers," as politesse now terms the destroyers of incipient human lives. Forty million abortions, and we're supposed to worry about how tough it is to be an abortionist these days. Neither article mentioned the profit motive, the angle that usually preoccupies these liberal dailies. Abortion "providers" were portrayed as selfless humanitarians besieged by religious fanatics. They are, in the words of Jack Hitt in the Times, "helping another person exercise a constitutional right." Making money apparently has nothing to do with their willingness to do what most doctors shrink from doing."

Joseph Sobran, Roe v. Wade at 25 (1/98)

"Abortion has replaced socialism as the chief moral fad of the progressive-minded. Socialism failed. Abortion works ... It is an act so foul that few people would defend it unless they knew large numbers currently agreed with them. Even so, it has to be defended in euphemisms... that obscure the concrete reality of scalding, poisoning, or mutilating a tiny living thing ..."

Joseph Sobran

"The chief art of our time is lending a gloss of glamour to sordid acts ... Abortion can't be portrayed as the cutting up of a living human being. It has to be presented abstractly, as some sort of moral and constitutional achievement. The gross act is etherealized into an "issue," pitting civic-minded people against the boors. No pictures, please. Only vulgar pro-lifers would want to force anyone to watch."

Joseph Sobran, (6/29/95)
