Quotes to Note

“…Congress found…that this method of killing a living fetus- performed on fetuses that are at or near viability-…perverts the birth process, blurs the line between abortion and infanticide, and confuses the medical, legal, and ethical duties of physicians to preserve life.

"Congress also found that partial-birth abortion imposes severe pain on the fetus.”

“Congress specifically found that partial-birth abortion poses serious risks of its own to the health of a woman undergoing the procedure.

"Those risks include…cervical incompetence, potentially hindering a woman’s ability to carry a subsequent pregnancy to term, and a risk of lacerations and severe hemorrhaging from a doctor forcing a sharp instrument into the base of the skull of the fetus while it is lodged in the birth canal.

"Additional risks include that of uterine rupture, abruption, amniotic fluid embolus, and trauma to the uterus as a result of any conversion of the fetus to a footling breech position...”

[Excerpts from previous Department of Justice filings from spokesman Monica Goodling, who published a detailed explanation of the legal issues involved in the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban case]

"I also want our country to continue to embrace the values that make our nation so wonderful. I believe the great strength of our country lies not in our halls of government, but in the hearts and souls of the American people. It's a million acts of kindness and compassion on a daily basis that define the true spirit and the true strength of America. We live in a blessed land. It's a society which says, you've got to love your neighbor just like you love yourself. That's the spirit of America that I know." -- President George W. Bush

"Members of Congress, regardless of their personal views on abortion, ought to agree with public law that health care providers should not be forced to perform or fund abortions that they believe are morally wrong…To do so would force these vital members of our society to choose between keeping their jobs and following their conscience. It's time the purveyors of 'choice' practice what they preach and allow others the choice not to violate their conscience."
-- Family Research Council Pres Ken Connor, regarding ANDA (Abortion Non-Discrimination Act)

 

"A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." -- Thomas Paine
