There's a twisted perception that abortion fosters the empowerment of women. And then there's the barefaced reality that abortion hurts women. The former receives tiresome, exaggerated, and over-covered attention that portrays pro-life men as the culprits. The latter is real-life, heartbreaking, rarely catches the media's attention, and is opposed largely, by women.

Abortion is not merely a women's issue. An abortion is something that negatively affects the whole family -- the mother, the father and especially the unborn child.

MICAIAH BILGER

On every issue except abortion, those who stand up for social justice are considered by our society to be progressive. If you speak against abortion, however, you are no progressive; you are viewed as a "right-wing religious extremist" engaged in a "war on women's rights." The question of abortion, therefore, forces us to consider our motivations. When we advocate for social justice, are we truly fighting for justice, or are we simply seeking the affirmation of our peers?

MURRAY VASSER

---

Yet, this can never really be true that an abortion is a right. Our rights come from God and amongst them is the inherent right to life -- not the right to destroy it.

SAM BROWNBACK

When a nation sacrifices innocent children in abortion or infanticide, that is a sacrifice to demons, it's like food for demons.... that act of the shedding of innocent blood, the most innocent among us, it empowers satanic forces, it energizes satanic forces, it gives them the legal right to be at work in our culture, it energizes them, it empowers them, it gives them legal ground, it gives them permission to operate. So every time an abortion is performed in the United States of America, a jolt of power is given to Satan and to satanic forces.

BRYAN FISCHER

---

The mortality rate for first trimester abortion is less than 1 per 100,000 procedures, for example, compared to nearly 9 deaths per 100,000 live births.

The hard part about talking about it in general is everyone wants it to be just one thing: "abortion is good," "abortion is bad," or whatever. We really wanted to talk about the fact that, of course, as a group, we support a woman's right to choose, but also that every person is gonna have their own experience.

JOANNA CALO

---

Feminazis have adopted abortion as a kind of sacrament for their religion/politics of alienation and bitterness.

It takes irrational faith of a peculiar sort to know what we do about embryology and yet draw the line of personhood at the arbitrary point of birth.

KATE COUSINO

---

Safe abortion is an essential health service for women. Would anyone today deliberately withhold effective HIV treatment or safe contraception from people who need them? Why, then, is it still acceptable that safe abortion is being withheld from so many women and girls with unwanted pregnancies?

MARGE BERER

---

For many people, morality means a set of rules governing the disposition on one's genital organs; or a set of injunctions against lying, stealing, or killing except when such acts are sanctioned by church or state.

We know that a message many people hear in our country is that in order to be 'pro-woman,' you have to be pro-choice. I would offer that nothing could be further from the truth. I see that as rhetoric and I see that as false. Life is empowering for women. A woman's capacity to have children is an incredible thing, not something to be ashamed of. It doesn't mean that I am defined by that, but it doesn't mean I'm going to pretend it's not part of me. It's an incredible gift.

JEANNE MANCINI

---

The entire basis of the pro-life movement is in failing to acknowledge the basic unknowability of others' point of view. The movement is fundamentally about imposing one's morality and definitions on others -- and marshaling the law in service of that imposition. To be pro-choice is to say: I can never ever walk in your shoes.

SARAH SELTZER

---

Abortion is a violent, substandard, and unacceptable answer to the problems it is proposed to solve.

KATE COUSINO

---

Regardless of your view on abortion, there is absolutely no reason to force those who believe that abortion is murder to fund the abortion.

JAY SEKULOW

---

I am pro-choice because those who attack abortion rights don't plan on stopping there -- they're also going after contraception, science and even sex itself.

JILL FILIPOVIC

---

The plain truth, the bitter truth for the Pro-Life side , is that abortion is now embedded in the culture.

DAVE NEESE

---

Our society breeds this guilt. We inhale it from all directions. Even women who come to the clinic completely solid in their decision to have an abortion say they feel guilty for not feeling guilty. Even though they know 110 percent that this is the best decision for them, they pressure themselves to feel bad about it.

EMILY LETTS

---

One method of destroying a concept is by diluting its meaning. Observe that by ascribing rights to the unborn, i.e., the nonliving, the anti-abortionists obliterate the rights of the living.

AYN RAND

As with the other restrictions, waiting periods were sold as a means of ensuring that a woman makes a well-informed decision about seeking abortion. But in practice they have done little except add extra cost and burden to the process, usurping a woman's ability to make her best medical decisions in private consultation with her doctor.
