Pro-Choice writer Margaret Carlson, on the many lies told by pro-choicers about the partial-birth abortion ban:
“…we all lie, to ourselves and one another, in hearings and in print, at dinner and on Nightline, lest we give one inch in a war over abortion that rages on.”
In a book that is meant to help women considering abortion, the author encourages teens not to tell their parents:
“However sad or angry you feel right now, keep in mind and not involving a parent is often a sign of maturity – that you are able to make and take responsibility for your own decisions. Keeping the pregnancy and abortion a secret may even turn out to be a positive experience. For many young women, it may be one of the first times they make an important or life-changing decision on their own, and they may feel more confident and better about themselves as a result.”
K Kaufmann. The Abortion Resource Handbook (New York: Simon & Schuster, 1997)
Barbara Radford, the National Abortion Federation president said in 1991:
“We had hoped that it (abortion patient’s death) wouldn’t get national publicity because of the political nature of all this. We want to make sure that women have choices when it comes to abortion services, and if you regulate it too strictly, you then deny women the access to service.”

“Pretty soon you can imagine legislation prohibiting the washing of hands because thousands of cells are flaked off that could be turned into a stem cell and you can grow a foetus – so you’re killing a person. It’s attacks on women’s rights.”
Planned Parenthood has reached a new low – in testimony against a bill that would make it mandatory for babies born alive during botched abortions to be given medical care and transport to a hospital, Planned Parenthood defended the practice of letting these infants die – saying that it should be between the doctor and the mother.

Kate Michelman opposed even the sensible abortion regulations during her time as president of NARAL. She championed partial birth abortion, fought against parental consent, and sought to prevent any restrictions on abortion including clinic regulations that would have made abortion safer. Yet in her book Protecting the Right to Choose, she refers to the baby she aborted as a “developing life.”
“When I did squarely confront abortion as a possibility, it was a very difficult decision. ….I had to weigh the responsibility I felt for the developing life within me against the moral, material, and practical responsibilities of my daughters’ well being…I have never, not once, questioned my choice to have that abortion.”
Kate Michelman Protecting the Right to Choose (New York: Plume, 2005) 4, 7
“By whatever rationale you use, ending a pregnancy 12 weeks into gestation is incalculably more moral than bringing an unwanted child into this world.”

Planned Parenthood claims that the Catholic Church is waging a “war on women” by fighting against abortion:
“The opinion and actions of the Holy See in regard to sexual and reproductive health and rights are seen by many as a kind of war, a war that contributes to the suffering and deaths of millions of innocent people, a war not conducted with guns and fire but with condemnation and psychological torture.“
