Pro-Life Wisdom
"A person's a person, no matter how small. ...
From now on, I'm going to protect them with you!"
Dr. Seuss/Horton Hears A Who, 1954
"Give us the grace--When the
sacredness of life before birth is attacked, to stand up and proclaim that no one ever has
the authority to destroy unborn life."
Portion of homily by Pope John Paul II, 1979
"[I ask] all citizens
of this blessed land to ... give thanks for the gift of life they enjoy and to reaffirm
their commitment to the dignity of every human being and the sanctity of every human
life."
President Ronald Reagan, 1988
(Declaring National Sanctity of Human Life Day)
"Abortion is the
greatest human rights violation. It is against the child who cannot appear before
any commission to plead his or her right to life. ... One cannot speak about human rights
without condemning the violation of the first of those rights: the right to
life."
Armando Valladares, 1989
"Twenty-five percent of
the high school graduating class of 1991 are dead. They died in 1973, the year
abortion was made legal. ... Will they put their children through what they have gone
through, losing brothers and sisters by the millions? I hope for society's sake that
they will not. The killing must stop."
James Hutson, 1991
"I believe abortion is destined
for the scrap heap of history. Abortion is being held aloft by the hot air of a small
well-healed elite. It's on the artificial life support system of foundation money,
politically correct elite opinion, special interests, media bias, and widespread ignorance
of the facts. ... Legal abortion will never rest easy on this nation's conscience. It will
continue to haunt the consciences of men and women everywhere."
Pennsylvania Gov. Robert Casey, 1993
"Today there exists a great
multitude of weak and defenseless human beings, unborn children in particular, whose
fundamental right to life is being trampled upon. ... How is it still possible to speak of
the dignity of every human person when the killing of the weakest and most innocent is
permitted? In the name of what justice is the most unjust of discriminations practiced:
some individuals are held to be deserving of defense and others are denied that dignity?
When this happens, the process leading to the breakdown of a genuinely human co-existence
and the disintegration of the State itself has already begun."
Pope John Paul II, Gospel of Life (Evangelism Vitae), 1995
"Any country that
accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what
they want. This is why the greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion."
Mother Teresa, 1997
"We don't like
abortion. ... Abortion should not be used as an anti-birth method."
Fidel Castro, 1998
"This process
known as partial-birth abortion is particularly repulsive
and is never medically necessary."
Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore, 1998
(At the signing of the Va. ban on partial-birth abortions)
"The abortion of
30 million (and counting) unborn children stems from a materialist culture that regards
wealth, comfort and the right to be free of any 'burden' or 'inconvenience' as life's
supreme objective."
Cal Thomas, 1998
"The message of
Torah is one of life. Abortion on demand is simply intolerable in the Jewish
tradition."
Rabbi Daniel Lapin, 1998
"We have to
realize that we’re in this fight for the long haul--for the future. And we have to
remember that we are actually winning one day at a time. ... We win because we tell it
like it is."
Father Paul Marx, 1998
"[T]his little baby has ancestors which go back to the beginning of
time.... When you abort a baby, you don't just snuff out that life, but generations yet to
come."
Rep. Henry Hyde, 1998
"We must begin with a commitment never to
intentionally kill, or collude in the killing, of any innocent human life, no matter how
broken, unformed, disabled or desperate that life may seem. ... Every act of responsible
citizenship is an exercise of significant individual power. We must exercise that
power in ways that will defend human life, especially those of God's children who are
unborn, disabled or otherwise vulnerable. We get the public officials we deserve.
Their virtue--or lack thereof--is a judgment not only on them, but on us."
Catholic Bishops of the U.S., 1998
"I think every woman's heart is telling them to
carry to term, because God has placed truth in her heart, and the truth is that abortion
never is the right answer. ... [W]e've seen 15,000 to 20,000 women, and I've never seen
one come back and say, 'I'm so angry that you helped me carry this baby to term.'"
Shari Plunkett-Founder of First Resort
(Pregnancy Help Centers), 1999
"Yet the most cowardly aspect of all may be the
outsized disparity between the big people and the little people. The parents who conceive
the babies, the abortionists who destroy them, the politicians who aid and abet, the
reporters who give one-sided accounts-all these grownups conspire against tiny victims who
typically will not be permitted even to draw their first breath of life, much less use
that breath to scream their protest. Only cowards would stack the deck or fix the fight in
such ghastly proportions."
"Cowards" by Joel Belz, World
Magazine, 1999
"When a child is in crisis, parents should have
a role and a voice. ... I believe that life is valuable, even when it is unwanted, even
when it is physically imperfect. I believe our society has a responsibility to defend the
vulnerable and the weak."
Texas Gov. G. W. Bush, 1999
"The reality of China's crimes against its
people is widely recognized. ... A retreat on forced abortion is a retreat on the human
rights of women. The United States must not back down on this."
Rep. Christopher Smith, 1999
"In 1973 the Supreme Court said it was ok to
kill unborn babies. Since then, we have killed more than the entire population of
Canada. And it continues. A woman's choice? Half of those who died in
their mothers' wombs have been women. They didn't have a choice. It's called
abortion."
Donald Wildmon, President, American Family Association, 1999
"As STOPP continues its analysis of the annual
report just released by Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA), one thing is
becoming clear. Taxpayer money is swelling PPFA's coffers.... In its 1998-1999
fiscal year, PPFA received $176.5 million in government grants and contracts. Over
the last 13 years, the taxpayer has dumped over $1.8 billion into Planned Parenthood with
no observable benefit."
Jim Sedlak, Director of STOPP
International, 2000
"Why is selling the body parts of aborted
babies for profit worse than aborting the babies for profit in the first place? ... I have
made my peace with God, and am trying to help end this gruesome part of our culture.
I pray that pro-choicers appalled by the selling of baby body parts would wake
up...and do the same."
Glenda
Carnes, Citizen (Published letter to the editor-World magazine), 2000
"You have wealthy white men spending hundreds
of millions of dollars to ... abort poor brown, yellow and black women in the developing
worlds.... That's a scary thought."
Steven Mosher, President-Population Research Institute, 2000
"To be a faithful and serious Catholic means
that one is pro-life and not pro-choice.... Moreover, protecting human life from
conception to natural death is more than a Catholic issue. It is an issue of
fundamental morality, rooted in both the natural law and the divine law."
Bishop Paul Loverde, Bishop of
Arlington, Virginia, November, 2000
"Every abortion
is a reflection that we have failed women, and that women have settled for less."
Serrin Foster, President, Feminists for Life, January, 2001
"We share a great
goal - to work toward a day when every child is welcome in life and protected in
law....You see the hardship of many young mothers and their unborn children and you care
for them both."
President George W. Bush, Message to the March for Life, January 22,
2001
"Our goal is more than making abortion illegal.
It is to make it undesirable, unavailable, and unnecessary in the eyes of those who might
do it. In short, it is to make abortion unthinkable. Our goal is to put abortion,
historically, in the same place where slavery is today. And that day will surely
come."
Father Frank Pavone, Director- Priests
for Life, 2001
"Abortion is not family planning. Family
planning is helping you get pregnant or keeping you from getting pregnant. It is not
killing an unborn child after you become pregnant."
Rep. Henry Hyde, 2001
"A baby -- born and unborn -- is precious to
God. It is not a disposable commodity. A child's life should not be subject to our
finances, our fears, and our convenience. We somehow have lost the sense of sacredness
that a new life embodies. We are throwing away precious human life -- our future
generations. And until we regain our respect and reverence for valuable human life --
until we realize that our babies belong to God, not to us -- we will no doubt continue to
find America's newborns crying in cardboard boxes and abandoned in dark empty
hallways."
Charles Colson, Founder of Prison
Fellowship Ministries, 2002
"Unless the innocent are protected by society,
the law of the jungle is the law of the land, where having the strength to kill is all
that matters. This is not what our country is built on.""Our
Nation has made progress in its efforts to protect human life, and we will
strive to change hearts and minds with compassion and decency. On National
Sanctity of Human Life Day and throughout the year, we help strengthen the
culture of life in America and work for the day when every child is welcomed in
life and protected in law."
President George W. Bush on
National Sanctity of Human Life Day, 2008
