Quotes to Note

Pro-abortion feminists consider abortion as the way to allow women to become unpregnant at will -- so as to become as irresponsible as some men. They look upon abortion as a way for women to become like men.

In reality, abortion forces women to surrender to pregnancy discrimination. Pregnant women are made to feel inferior to non-pregnant women. By settling for abortion instead of working for the social changes which would make it possible to combine children and career, pro-abortion feminists agree to participate in a man's world under man's terms.

Pro-abortion feminists have betrayed the majority of working women who want to have children.

[H-5.995 Abortion, House of Delegates]

Our AMA reaffirms that (1) abortion is a medical procedure and should be performed on by a duly licensed physician and surgeon in conformance with standards of good medical practice and the Medical Practice Act of his state; and

(2) no physician of other professional personnel shall be required to perform an act violative of good medical judgment. Neither physician, hospital, nor hospital personnel shall be required to perform any act violative of personally held moral principles. In these circumstances, good medical practice requires only that the physician or other professional withdraw from the case, so long as the withdrawal is consistent with good medical practice. (Sub.Res.43, A-73; Reaffirmed: I-86; Reaffirmed: Sunset Report, I-96; Reaffirmed by Sub. Res. 208, I-96; Reaffirmed by BOT Rep. 26, A-97)
