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.)

“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.”

“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.”

“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 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.”

“I am pro-choice because I’m a mother, I’m a Christian, and I’m a doctor.”

“Some may find it paradoxical that after 23 years of legal abortion, this question [is abortion morally right?] has not been resolved. Why? Teaching people that fetuses are not persons, that they may morally be terminated, and that values suggesting otherwise are false and outmoded is hard work.”

One woman who had an abortion says:

“My decision to have an abortion was a decision I made to care for the child that was within me. To adopt that child would be more cruel to me than just ending it, because it’s giving the child no help. It’s like saying “Well, it’s not my problem.” My decision to abort will affect my child in a humane manner, because I’ve got my child’s interests at heart. That is why I decided to terminate, for that child’s sake.”
