Shortly after Roe versus Wade, the director of NARAL, an organization which was pivotal in legalizing abortion, said the following:

“Before you know it this will be past history and abortion will just be another medical procedure. People will forget about the whole thing.”

Obviously, NARAL underestimated the strength and conviction of the pro-life movement.

Was Hitler pro-choice? Pro-abortion groups have often said that Hitler opposed abortion, because he encouraged Aryan women to have as many children as possible and forbade abortion for most Germans. However, Hitler was aware that legalized abortion was an excellent tool for weeding out undesirable races. According to a private conversation, Hitler said:

“If any such idiot tried to put into practice such an order [forbidding abortion] in the occupied Eastern territories, he would personally shoot him. In view of the large families of the native population, it could only suit us if girls and women there had as many abortions as possible. Active trade in contraceptives ought to be actually encouraged in the Eastern territories, as we could not possibly have the slightest interest in increasing the non-German population.”

Quoted from a table conversation with Hitler on 22 July 1942

“I have been practicing medicine for nearly 50 years and have delivered babies on three continents, and never once has a woman said to me “Doctor, how is my fetus doing?”

From a column in The National Review:

“The campaign against partial birth abortion has revealed that the public’s moral sentiments, if not always its moral reasoning, remain healthy. It has revealed something, too, about the politicians, the writers, the judges, who support abortion on demand. They have watched a baby, partly out of the womb, have her skull punctured and her brains sucked out. They have been asked, “Must even this be tolerated?” and they have looked at this grisly scene and answered “yes. Even this.” The logic of abortion is merciless.”

Pro-choice author Janet Hadley says the following about the activists that originally campaigned to make and keep abortion legal:

“… some of the original campaigners for legalizing abortion advocated it as a potential tool for maintaining the social order. To put it bluntly, they urged society to adopt such measures not for the sake of the women themselves, but, crudely, to curb births among women in the “underclass”… Not surprisingly, there are times when doctors or social workers, in the belief that they know what’s best, push such women towards abortion. “

From an article by a doctor (Hanes Swingle) who takes care of women with high risk pregnancies:

“As a neonatalist who has cared for numerous spontaneously aborted and a few intentionally aborted fetuses in the past 20 years, I now realize that the difference between a fetus and a premature infant is a social distinction, not a biological and. If it is wanted, it is a baby: it is not wanted, it is a fetus.”

Pro-abortion former President of Planned Parenthood, Dr. Alan Guttmacher said:

“We find that when an abortion is easily obtainable, contraception is neither actively nor diligently used. . . there would be no reward for the woman who practices effective contraception. . . . Abortion on demand relieves the husband of all possible responsibility; he simply becomes a coital animal.”

According to studies, roughly half of all women who have abortions were not using birth control when they got pregnant.
