Owner of the abortion clinic on pro-life protesters:
“I don’t understand why they can’t see the person standing in front of them. They only see the belly and what they visualize inside of her. For the pregnant woman. I see the woman, they just see the baby.”
James D Slack Abortion, Execution, and the Consequences of Taking Life (New Brunswick: Transaction Publishers, 2009) 58
Pro-Lifers need to always be conscious that the woman is a person too, that she is important just as her baby is important. Of course, it is pro-choicers who disregard the baby completely.
“The Commission on Population Growth established by Pres. Richard Nixon in 1970 released three reports in March 1972, where they called for Medicaid funded abortion as is necessary weapons in the “war on poverty” noting that “unwanted fertility is highest among those whose levels of education and income are lowest.”

Is eliminating the children of the poor the best way to reduce poverty?
Abortionist Dr. Lawrence Scott encourages women to get pregnant and have abortions:
“Getting pregnant now can be good family planning for the future even if you have a termination. I am convinced of that…Contrary to how much people think, an aborted pregnancy can help preserve fertility and perhaps keep you from developing certain physical problems later in life.”
“Although it is customary to divide human development into prenatal and postnatal periods, it is important to realize that birth is merely a dramatic event during development resulting in a change in environment.”

“Enclosed is an article your staff should read. You people think you are saving babies, while you are condemning the world!
As for the woman on TV who feel so guilty about her abortion – who cares? We are sick of hearing about it. Many of us have had abortions and do not have these feelings. My abortion 30 years ago was the best thing for me and the child! I am glad I didn’t bring it into his violent, miserable world.
Lastly, your attempts to link abortion with cancer are pathetic. You people use anything to try to brainwash people.
I pity you all!”

“I predict the possibility that eventually coercion [in population programs] may become necessary. [Such force may be required] in areas where the pressure is the greatest, possibly in India and China.”

Barbara Radford of the National Abortion Federation gave guidelines to pro-choicers on how to counter the graphic drawings of partial-birth abortions shown by pro-lifers who were protesting in support of the partial-birth abortion ban. She says:
1. Don’t apologize; this is a legal procedure
2. No abortion method is acceptable to abortion opponents
3. The language and graphics in the ad are disturbing to some readers.
Much of the negative reaction, however, is the same reaction that might be invoked if one were to listen to a surgeon describing step-by-step almost any other procedure involving blood, human tissue, etc.
