Quote: "I've never encountered a woman who has had an abortion who does it lightly. Most face that it (the fetus) was alive, and they're thinking about it being dead. Women who have had abortions and had people act like it's a tumor or a kidney or a fingernail feel very sold-out. They often are not ready for how they emotionally respond because they haven't been prepared to deal with that. The only approach out there is that the fetus is a person or a body part, rather than that the fetus is unique in women's experience and entitled to a legal concept of its own that grasps its relation to the pregnant woman. It's important to treat the fetus as a form of life and then ask yourself the question, 'What could justify ending that life?' To me the answer is the inequality of women and men: that women become pregnant under conditions of inequality, through norms, mores and sexual practices that women do not control; through lack of adequate contraception, and through forced sex. When women become mothers, they are not allowed to have the same full lives that fathers are, unless they're very wealthy...Abortion has offered the only way out.If this government acts to take that away from women, it takes away the only island of sex equality in the whole picture."

Quote: On his website: “The Sacred Choices Initiative is a worldwide issues campaign aimed at expanding scholarly and lay perceptions of the positions of the world's religions on contraception and abortion. The goal is to change the international discourse on family planning and open the way to a more informed and humane stance on woman's rights within a religious context. The campaign was organized by a group of international religious scholars from various religions known as The Religious Consultation on Population, Reproductive Health and Ethics. The Consultation is advised by a council of recognized experts on population and health."

Quote: Daniel C. Maguire, is a president of the Religious Consultation on Population, Reproductive Health and Ethics, he participated in a Planned Parenthood of South Palm Beach and Broward Counties Inc. sponsored town hall forum.

Quote: Dr.Maguire's is president of the The Religious Consultation on Population, Reproductive Health & Ethics, here is what they believe as posted on his website, “The Religious Consultation (TRC) is an international, multi-faith network of progressive feminist religious scholars and leaders. We seek out the positive, renewable moral energies of our faith traditions, directing them to the issues of population, consumption, ecology, reproductive health and the empowerment of women.”

Quote: “These Rightists are unimpressed with the fact that 94% of Americans consider contraception a moral act. They ignore the fact that Emergency Contraception prevents unwanted pregnancies and thus prevents abortion. Still, the Religious right doesn’t like it, and, fascists that they are, they want to prevent all American women from using it.”

Quote: " …There are many life values, and sometimes other life values supersede the value of a fetus. Cases from real life speak louder than books…What it comes down to is this: if a woman is pregnant and wants to terminate that pregnancy for good medical, psychological, economic, or other reasons, should we force her to stay pregnant?"

Quote: Fergusson is politically pro-choice and was the lead author of the 2006 New Zealand study that shows that women can suffer detrimental emotional affects after an abortion. Fergusson was asked about Planned Parenthood’s position that implies that women are safer psychologically after an abortion than after childbirth. Dr. Fergusson replied that the Planned Parenthood information “is both sparse and disappointing in its presentation. Women need to be advised that compared to women who give birth, those having abortions appear to have a moderate increase in rates of later mental health problems.” He went on to state, "While abortion is likely to mitigate some of the adverse consequences of unplanned pregnancies, including educational disadvantage, reduced income and welfare dependence, there is no clear evidence of mental health benefits.”

Quote: "Of course, the very idea of ancestral human beings and chimpanzees "exchanging genes" makes people squirm, because (let's face it) this means sexual intercourse between our ancient human and animal ancestors. It is hard enough to contemplate our parents copulating; to think of our very great-grandparents not only descended from "monkeys" but having sex with them is difficult to conceive. But conceive is what they evidently did. There is, however, an even greater source of discomfort at work here; not simple squeamishness about sex but a deeper repugnance that goes to the heart of why so many Americans continue to be so resistant to the theory of evolution. And this is why I not only welcome the news that humans and chimpanzees commingled genes in the past, I also look forward to the possibility that, thanks to advances in reproductive technology, there will be hybrids, or some other mixed human-animal genetic composite, in our future.

Quote: “ What the abortion debate needs is clear explanation of why it is right that women have reproductive choices; why abortion is a solution to a problem for women with unwanted pregnancies; and why this remains the case for women who seek abortion later in pregnancies, as well as earlier on, despite the fact that the fetus is then more developed biologically.” Lee is the author of Abortion, Motherhood and Mental Health: Medicalising Reproduction in the United States and Great Britain.

Quote: said abortion rights advocates in recent years may have lost ground with voters by being too reluctant to publicly discuss their own moral values. "We need to get over it. We need to talk about moral values,'' she said, adding that the matter of advocating for safe and legal abortion, reproductive rights and birth control for women -- particularly poor women in developing countries -- is "a deeply moral undertaking'' because it ensures that more women have healthy children that they are capable of caring for.”

Quote: Made this statement referring to the Terri Schiavo case “The process of starving to death seems very barbaric but in actuality is very peaceful.”

Quote: "I am frequently asked about the relationship between the animal rights viewpoint and the matter of abortion. These questions are usually posed by people who think that if someone believes that at least some nonhuman animals have rights, they must also believe that fetuses have rights and that abortion should be viewed as in the same moral category as animal exploitation. This view of the relationship between animal rights and abortion rests on a misunderstanding of the animal rights position.. First, it is wrong to assume that fetuses have rights just because some animals do.So, it does not follow that if some animals have rights, then fetuses have rights. Human fetuses and normal, adult mammals, human or nonhuman, are simply different. You may regard fetuses as different because you believe that humans are "superior" or that fetuses possess "souls," but such views are, of course, grounded in theological notions.."

Quote: "I also argued that abortion presents a unique moral dilemma in that, even if we accept that fetuses have rights, the conflict is between the primary rightholder--the woman--and the subservient rightholder who resides in her body. In these circumstances, someone must resolve the conflict, and if that task is relegated to the state, the task of fetal protection can be accomplished only through the state's literal entry into the body of the primary rightholder."

Everyone had to speak to a counselor to explain the procedure to them and to advise them about birth control and answer any of their questions if they had any. I heard so many sad stories about why women had decided to have abortions. I had to cross a picket line to get to work and there was an anti-choice protester that used to harass all of us when we entered the clinic. ..The second trimester abortions were hard for me to deal with because they are admittedly a bit gory…I remember witnessing one of these procedures and being disturbed at the sight of parts of a fetus being removed.”

Quote: She participated in the NARAL “10th Power of Choice” Luncheon.

Quote: told the newspaper that he believes that comparing genocide to abortion is a false analogy. "Last time I checked, there is not a great fetus civilization or race of fetuses."

Quote: “Pro-choice advocates would make abortion the only absolute right in our Constitution, even though it was not fully recognized by the Supreme Court until 1973. Conversely, parental rights have been recognized since the founding of our Republic but are routinely dismissed when they collide with the almighty right to an abortion. As a pro-choice law professor, I was astonished to find myself on opposite sides with groups such as the ACLU when I helped draft Florida's parental notice amendment to its constitution. In Florida, a child could not get a tattoo or take an aspirin in school without parental consent, but any 12-year-old could walk into a clinic and demand an abortion without notifying her parents of a major medical procedure.”

But scientists have been given these pictures and they can't decide where life begins. The Supreme Court of Canada cannot even decide unanimously based on these pictures. Why show them to women when it will just upset them?"

Quote: Irons is also author of A People's History of the Supreme Court, said the justices declined in the Webster case in 1989 to specifically address a Missouri law's statement that life begins at conception."They sidestepped that issue, but I'm pretty confident the court would rule exactly the same way in a case that presented the same issue. I don't think they would go back. The first thing is a judge would throw it out as inconsistent with (the Casey decision). Any statute that does not have a health exception would be tossed out. My guess is that any federal court would toss it out on its face as unconstitutional. Even if the state appealed, I don't think the Supreme Court would accept to hear it. And even if they did, I don't think they would rule on the preamble (the findings that life begins at conception).”

Quote: "That a being is a human being, in the sense of a member of species Homo Sapiens, is not relevant to the wrongness of killing it. It is, rather, characteristics like rationality, autonomy and self-consciousness that make a difference." In the 1970s, as the leading theoretician of animal rights, Singer coined the term "speciesism" for anyone so narrow-minded as to, "allow the interest of his species to override the greater interest of members of other species". Singer holds that the right to physical integrity is grounded in a being's ability to suffer, and the right to life is grounded in the ability to plan and anticipate one's future. Since the unborn, infants, and severely disabled people lack the ability to plan and anticipate their future, he states that abortion, infanticide, and euthanasia can be justified in certain special circumstances, for instance in the case of severely disabled infants whose life would cause suffering both to themselves and to their parents.

Quote: Question to Singer, "If you had to save either a human being or a mouse from a fire, with no time to save them both, wouldn’t you save the human being?" Answer by Singer, " Yes, in almost all cases I would save the human being. But not because the human being is human, that is, a member of the species Homo sapiens. Species membership alone isn't morally significant, but equal consideration for similar interests allows different consideration for different interests. The qualities that are ethically significant are, firstly, a capacity to experience something -- that is, a capacity to feel pain, or to have any kind of feelings. That's really basic, and it’s something that a mouse shares with us. But when it comes to a question of taking life, or allowing life to end, it matters whether a being is the kind of being who can see that he or she actually has a life -- that is, can see that he or she is the same being who exists now, who existed in the past, and who will exist in the future. Such a being has more to lose than a being incapable of understand this. Any normal human being past infancy will have such a sense of existing over time. I’m not sure that mice do, and if they do, their time frame is probably much more limited. So normally, the death of a human being is a greater loss to the human than the death of a mouse is to the mouse – for the human, it cuts off plans for the distant future, for example, but not in the case of the mouse. And we can add to that the greater extent of grief and distress that, in most cases, the family of the human being will experience, as compared with the family of the mouse (although we should not forget that animals, especially mammals and birds, can have close ties to their offspring and mates). That’s why, in general, it would be right to save the human, and not the mouse, from the burning building, if one could not save both. But this depends on the qualities and characteristics that the human being has. If, for example, the human being had suffered brain damage so severe as to be in an irreversible state of unconsciousness, then it might not be better to save the human"

Quote: Question, " I've heard about the possibility of growing meat in a laboratory, just by cells reproducing. Should this lab reared meat prove ecologically safe, cost and energy efficient and safe for human consumption, is this an ethically acceptable way in which animal meat can be developed and consumed? To avoid discrimination on speciesist grounds, providing the meat can be sufficiently engineered for safe human consumption taking into account the accusations aimed at cannibalism, would it be required that laboratories should also grow human meat for consumption?" Answer, Peter Singer, " Yes, this would be ethically acceptable, because no animals would suffer or die to produce it. There's nothing wrong with meat in itself. If people prefer the taste of meat grown from the cell of a cow to meat grown from the cell of a human, that's fine too. So there's no ethical requirement to grow human meat for consumption, just because we're growing meat from other animals."

Quote: "I use the term "person" to refer to a being who is capable of anticipating the future, of having wants and desires for the future. I think that it is generally a greater wrong to kill such a being than it is to kill a being that has no sense of existing over time. Newborn human babies have no sense of their own existence over time. So killing a newborn baby is never equivalent to killing a person, that is, a being who wants to go on living. That doesn’t mean that it is not almost always a terrible thing to do. It is, but that is because most infants are loved and cherished by their parents, and to kill an infant is usually to do a great wrong to its parents."

Quote: "Sometimes, perhaps because the baby has a serious disability, parents think it better that their newborn infant should die. Many doctors will accept their wishes, to the extent of not giving the baby life-supporting medical treatment. That will often ensure that the baby dies. My view is different from this, only to the extent that if a decision is taken, by the parents and doctors, that it is better that a baby should die, I believe it should be possible to carry out that decision, not only by withholding or withdrawing life-support – which can lead to the baby dying slowly from dehydration or from an infection - but also by taking active steps to end the baby’s life swiftly and humanely."

Quote: When asked if it was wrong to kill a "normal" infant, Singer replies, "Most parents, fortunately, love their children and would be horrified by the idea of killing it. And that’s a good thing, of course. We want to encourage parents to care for their children, and help them to do so. Moreover, although a normal newborn baby has no sense of the future, and therefore is not a person, that does not mean that it is all right to kill such a baby. It only means that the wrong done to the infant is not as great as the wrong that would be done to a person who was killed. But in our society there are many couples who would be very happy to love and care for that child. Hence even if the parents do not want their own child, it would be wrong to kill it."

In a well-documented account, Mumford (the book's author) tells how in December 1974 the U.S. government adopted a policy on world population crucial for peace and development; how the policy was concealed in a restricted document (NSSM 200) for 14 years because of political influence by the Catholic Church; and how the Vatican and the Catholic Church have undermined and thwarted implementation of population policy vital for the security of the United States and other nations. Every American should be concerned about this alarming cover-up and subversion of democratic decision-making."

Quote: Harvey co-authored the paper: Understanding Medical Abortion, The paper advises among other things, recommendations for overcoming barriers to access to medical abortion in the United States.

Quote: "By leading her students in the destruction of an approved student organization display, Professor Sally Jacobsen's actions were inconsistent with Northern Kentucky University's commitment to free and open debate adn the opportunity for all sides to be heard without threat of censorship or reprisal," stated University president James Vortruba. Jacobsen encouraged her students to pull down a pro-life display and memorial in April of 2006, she was removed from teaching classes and will retire a the end of the semester.

Quote: "No. I don't have any regrets Jacobsen defended leading a group of students to tear down a campus pro-life display that she found offensive." But after several e-mails and letters to the University she told reporters this ."I deeply regret my impulsive action in dismantling that display. I really love NKU and care very much about my students and don't want them to be harmed. It was a mistake of judgment for me to invite my students to participate in that action. At this point, I really want the university to be able to defuse the firestorm of attention around this."

Quote: "I did, outside of class during the break, invite students to express their freedom of speech rights to destroy the (pro-life) display if the wished to."

Quote: “Beginning Roe, we never considered our work to be "for abortion. Rather, we were struggling for the right of women to make decisions relating to pregnancy. To us, those decisions should not be made by strangers or the government.” Weddington was the lawyer who successfully argued the Roe vs. Wade decision to the US Supreme Court. She has been a guest speaker to many college campuses since.

Quote: calls himself "100 percent pro-choice," said "Roe was terribly reasoned I think there's some requirement under the Constitution that if you cannot explain a decision and its relationship with legal materials, it's not a valid decision."

Quote: said her views on abortion caused her to cast a vote for a pro-choice candidate. "I thought Deeds was more pro-choice for women," she said.

Quote: Hurlbert is Secretary of (CAPS): California for Population Stabilization. Although CAPS main concern seems to be immigration in the US, they focus on world-wide population control and give the following groups: Alan Guttmacher Institute, California Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League (CARAL), National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League (NARAL), Planned Parenthood, Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California as “additional resources” on their website

Quote: "As a Christian, I am sensitive to the moral issue of abortion. The Christian Coalition has portrayed me as insensitive. There are a lot of abortions I would find immoral under any circumstances. This is an issue where there is room for disagreement. The law is not the place to work out this moral dilemma. Before Roe vs. Wade, the rich went to New York and the poor died in back alleys. At least if it's legal, you can get the moral issue out in the open.”

Quote: “I could hold a mini-convention in my hotel room of women law professors who were Christian, pro-life, and Republican.” (Implying that there are only a hand full of pro-life law professors).

Quote: She is also an editor, Population and Environment, and gave this review of a book on population control: "The Roman Catholic Church has been steadfastly opposed to all mechanical or chemical means of birth control. Stephen Mumford brings to bear overwhelming evidence that, from its beginning, the doctrine of Papal infallibility committed the Church to rejecting the reality of a world population crisis and led, indeed, to highly successful efforts to block timely U.S. interventions and responses (including strict immigration control). This is a dramatic expose‚ of the undermining of democratic institutions and political will, in the service of interests antithetical to U.S. population stabilization and the long-term survival of the nation."

Quote: "The major reason for the economic barriers to abortion is the restrictions on funding through laws and public policies that began soon after Roe v. Wade and continue today. Prohibiting abortion funding by the federal government and the states has been a key target of the antiabortion movement. While its ultimate goal is to make abortions illegal for all women and under all circumstances, the primary strategy has been curtailing access through laws, regulations, executive orders, violence and even murder."
