“There’s a qualitative difference in the nature of their [pro-life] involvement … It’s a life and death issue for them, and that creates a zealousness about it, about their work, that I don’t think is matched quite on our side. The strength of the [pro-abortion] movement really resides in the mainstream view that government has no role in this decision.”
Kate Michelman, President of the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League (NARRAL), quoted in Brigid Schulte of the Knight-Ridder News Service. “Abortion Foes Mix Passion, Technology.” The Oregonian, February 19, 1995, page A14.
Having been in the pro-life movement for years, I agree with Kate Michelman. The passion that pro-lifers show for the abortion issue is greater than that that most pro-choice or show – we pro-lifers know the were fighting for the lives of unborn babies – that makes us realize how incredibly important it is to stand for life.
