Dr. Philip G Ney observed that studies show parents of abused children were no more likely to have considered abortion when pregnant than parents of non-abused children. This indicates that children who are abused weren’t more likely to be unwanted.

Brian E Fisher cited the following quote and statistics in his book Abortion: The Ultimate Exploitation of Women:

Lawrence Lader, co-founder of the pro-abortion group NARAL predicted that abortion would make the world a better place when he said:

“The impact of the abortion revolution may be to too vast to assess immediately. It should usher in an era when every child will be wanted, loved, and properly cared for; when the incidence of infanticides and battered children should be sharply reduced.”
