From one mother whose daughter had an abortion:

Even though I’m having to say good-bye to my grandson or granddaughter, I know God will bless her with a child, when she is ready for it. And when I’m old enough to be a grandmother. Ha! Ha!

This letter was read by an abortion clinic worker on the 31st Anniversary of Roe v. Wade, in a speech at the Voices for Choice Rally at the University of Texas on January 22nd, 2004 found on abortionclinicdays.

See what abortion actually did to this woman’s grandchild (graphic)

Pro-Choice writer David M Graber writes about how the planet would be better off with fewer people. He says “the right virus” should develop that would kill people.

“Human happiness and certainly human fecundity are not as important as a wild and healthy planet… [Nature has] intrinsic value, more value to me than another human body or a billion of them… Until such time as Homo sapiens should decide to rejoin nature, some of us can only hope for the right virus to come along.”

David M Graber “Mother Nature as a Hothouse Flower” Los Angeles Times Book Review (October 29, 1989) 9

Pro-Choice author Catherine Whitney explained why teens should have abortions:

 “Infants born to teenagers have high mortality rates; they are more than twice as likely to die at birth [than] infants born to mature women. Infants who survive or more likely to have health complications and mental retardation.”

Catherine Whitney Whose Life? (New York: William Morrow and Company, Inc., 1991) 176

Abortion must be available to teens because their babies have “high mortality rates.” Meaning that if the babies are not killed by abortion, they might die. So that is a reason to kill them, to prevent them from dying by killing them.

Very convoluted reasoning.

Author Camille S. Williams quotes pro-choice writer Maggi Cage saying that women should embrace the destruction of abortion as part of the “sacred act of creating.”

Williams says:

“The sacred act of creating has to do not only with creating, but with destroying as well.” [Cage] commends cultures in which “abortion is viewed as one way of completing the sacred cycle that begins with sexuality,” condemning the squeamish “white Western culture” in which we “don’t want to accept responsibility for our destructive acts or our negative side, so we deny their existence.” She warns that fear of our own “negative side” turns into shame and guilt. Unless “we embrace the totality of life by accepting both creation and destruction as natural parts of the flow of life, we will continue to turn away from our power and be at the mercy of those who will use shame and guilt to control us.”

Maggi Cage in Woman of Power, quoted in Camille S. Williams “Abortion and the Actualized Self” First Things November 1991
