Prior to Roe, whether one could obtain a legal abortion in the face of an unwanted pregnancy was a crap shoot. For 30 years now, it's been a constitutionally guaranteed right. ~David Garrow
You cannot have maternal health without reproductive health. And reproductive health includes contraception and family planning and access to legal, safe abortion. Hillary Clinton
Of course abortion isn't right. But it is even less right to bring unwanted children into lifelong suffering and to strip women of their choice. Making abortion illegal is not the way to prevent it. There is a much larger picture that starts with much deeper roots. ~Name withheld per author request, written 1991
Reproductive choice has to be straightened out. There will never be a woman of means without choice anymore. That just seems to me so obvious. The states that changed their abortion laws before Roe are not going to change back. So we have a policy that only affects poor women, and it can never be otherwise. Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Only half the patients who go into an abortion clinic come out alive. ~Author unknown
In abortion, the person who is massacred, physically and morally, is the woman. Italo Calvino
If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament. ~Said to Florynce Kennedy and Gloria Steinem by an elderly Irish woman taxi driver in Boston, popularized by Kennedy and Steinem in 1971 speeches (Thanks, Garson O'Toole! quoteinvestigator.com/2013/09/11/men-pregnant)
The media seems to think only abortion and gay marriage are religious issues. Poverty is a moral issue, it's a faith issue, it's a religious issue. Jim Wallis
Abolition of a woman's right to abortion, when and if she wants it, amounts to compulsory maternity: a form of rape by the State. ~Edward Abbey, One Life at a Time, Please
