"I
have worked on these issues for decades
now. I put Roe at the center of my
lesson plan on reproductive freedom when
I taught Constitutional Law. Not simply
as a case about privacy but as part of
the broader struggle for women’s
equality...There will always be people,
many of goodwill, who do not share my
view on the issue of choice. On this
fundamental issue, I will not yield and
Planned Parenthood will not yield."
~ Barack Obama |

"Renewing the promise of America begins with upholding
the dignity of human life. In our day there is a temptation to manipulate life in
ways that do not respect the humanity of the person. When that happens, the most vulnerable among us
can be valued for their utility to others instead of
their own inherent worth. We must continue to work for a culture of life where
the strong protect the weak and where we recognize in
every human life the image of our Creator."
~ George Bush

"The moral test of
government is how that government treats
those who are in the dawn of life, the
children; those who are in the twilight
of life, the elderly; and those who are
in the shadows of life
-- the sick, the
needy, the handicapped." ~ Hubert
H. Humphrey |

"The chief purpose of
government is to protect life. Abandon
that and you have abandoned all."..."The
care of human life, and not their
destruction, is the first and only
legitimate object of good government."

self-government, upon the capacity of

to control ourselves, to sustain
ourselves according to the Ten
Commandments of God." ~ James
Madison |
