Abortion Is Never Wrong, Says Pro-Choicer

“I don’t think abortion is ever wrong. As long as an individual is completely dependent on the mother, it’s not a person.”

Unwanted Children an Abortion

“Unwantedness” may be regarded as a major complication of pregnancy, with surgical intervention in the form of abortion as the indicated treatment rather than medical management, as would be the case with a wanted pregnancy.”

Warren Hern, abortionist. Abortion Practice (Philadelphia: J Lippincott, 1990) page 8

Quoted in Stephen Wagner, Common Ground Without Compromise: 25 Questions to Create Dialogue on Abortion. (Signal Hill, CA: Stand to Reason, 2008) P 47

Christian Doctor Performs Abortions

From abortionist Richard Grossman:

“The reason I perform abortions is because I’m a Christian…Personally, I believe in the strength, intellect and fortitude of women. When a woman says a fetus is a person, I think it is one. I believe the woman empowers the fetus.”

(Webmaster’s note: This doctor believes that a fetus does not become a person until the woman believes it is one. I can’t help but wonder if he would agree that a tumor is not cancer unless a woman believes it is.)

Abortion Is Part of a Woman’s Quest

“I often hear people say, ‘in a perfect world there would be no abortions.’ But in my perfect world, the world I am hoping to help create, I do not toss out abortion so hastily. We need a safe world for women, one in which we control our bodies, our sexuality, our reproduction. And if abortion is part of a woman’s quest, I would have the experience be painless, nurturing, free, safe, and without stigma. In my perfect world, each moment of our lives will be ones that encourage us to love our bodies and celebrate our power.”

Abortionists Are Kind and Loving

“And the people who do abortions are every bit as ethical and as kind and loving and godlike as those who think abortion is wrong. I say that with every conviction I have. Abortion clearly has improved women’s health, no matter how you look at it.”

Mildred Hanson, Abortionist, “Voices of Choice, Doctors Stories”

Abortionist Says “I Respect Motherhood”

“I am an abortion practitioner because of my utmost respect for motherhood… I am convinced that being a mother is the hardest job there is… being a mother requires precise abilities, arrangements, resources, and a community of support. Motherhood, then, is the true sacrament, and helping make it so is the essence of my work.”

Dr. Elizabeth Karlin, abortion provider, from an article in the New York Times, quoted by Felicia H. Stewart and Philip D. Darney “Abortion: Teaching Why As Well As How” Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health volume 35 January/February 2003

The Embryo Is Prehuman

“The status of the embryo in the first trimester is the basic issue that cannot be sidestepped. The embryo is clearly pre-human; only the mystical notions of religious dogma treat this clump of cells as constituting a person… what it [the unborn] actually is during the first trimester is a mass of relatively undifferentiated cells that exist as a part of a woman’s body.”
