“Your religion should help you make the decision if you find yourself in that situation, but the policy should exist for you to have the right to make it in the first place.

When you say you can't do something because your religion forbids it, that's a good thing. When you say I can't do something because YOUR religion forbids it, that's a problem.”
― Jodi Picoult, A Spark of Light

“They鈥檙e not pro-life. You know what they are? They鈥檙e anti-woman. Simple as it gets, anti-woman. They don鈥檛 like them. They don鈥檛 like women. They believe a woman鈥檚 primary role is to function as a brood mare for the state.”
― George Carlin

“There鈥檚 a reason they call childbirth labor. Making a healthy baby takes effort: It requires foresight and self-denial and courage. It鈥檚 expensive and demanding and tiring. You have to learn new things, change many habits, possibly deal with complicated medical situations, make difficult decisions, and undergo stressful ordeals. I had a wisdom tooth pulled without Novocaine while I was pregnant鈥攊t hurt a lot and seemed to go on forever. The kindness of the very young dental assistant, holding back my hair as I spat blood into a bowl, will stay with me for the rest of my life. Pregnant women do such things, and much harder things, all the time. For example, they give birth, which is somewhere on the scale between painful and excruciating. Or they have a cesarean, as I did, which is major surgery. None of this is without risk of death or damage or trauma, including psychological trauma. To force girls and women to undergo all this against their will is to annihilate their humanity. When they undertake it by choice, we should all be grateful.”
― Katha Pollitt, Pro: Reclaiming Abortion Rights

“We are not pro-life simply because we are warding off death. We are pro-life to the extent that we are men and women for others, all others; to the extent that no human flesh is a stranger to us; to the extent that we can touch the hand of another in love, to the extent that for us there are no 鈥渙thers.”
― Brennan Manning, The Ragamuffin Gospel

“What terrible splashing!鈥� the elephant frowned.
鈥業 can鈥檛 let my very small persons get drowned.
I鈥檝e GOT to protect them. I鈥檓 bigger than they.”
― Dr. Seuss, Horton Hears a Who!

And you very small persons will NOT have to die
If you make yourselves heard! So come on, now, and TRY!”

They鈥檝e proved they ARE persons, no matter how small,
And their whole world was saved by the Smallest of All!”
― Dr. Seuss, Horton Hears a Who!

“Should I put this speck down鈥�?鈥� Horton thought with alarm.
鈥業f I do, these small persons may come to great harm.
I CAN鈥橳 put it down. And I WON鈥橳! After all,
A person鈥檚 a person. No matter how small.”
― Dr. Seuss, Horton Hears a Who!

“Please don鈥檛 harm all my little folks, who
Have as much right to live as us bigger folks do!”
― Dr. Seuss, Horton Hears a Who!

“Grinding his teeth, he shoved his hands into the sudsy water and splashed it onto his face. Steam drifted above the pale suds, thin and insubstantial before dissipating. The scalding water burned his face, but the pain was worth it. It tethered him to reality and the reminder that he could not fail. Not again.

Please, please give me courage.

It was his heart鈥檚 cry and his soul鈥檚 plea. He needed the courage to stand strong. Needed the courage to speak up.”
― Madisyn Carlin, Shattered Revelation

“Each of us is made in the image of God. We are told He individually forms us, knitting us, to borrow from the verse you just read. He determines what color of eyes we鈥檒l have, when we鈥檒l say our first and last words, and when we鈥檒l take our first and final steps. A baby is a human being even in the womb, milady.”
― Madisyn Carlin, Shattered Revelation

“Some poor little person who鈥檚 shaking with fear
That he鈥檒l blow in the pool! He鈥檚 no way to steer!
I鈥檒l just have to save him. Because, after all,
A person鈥檚 a person, no matter how small.”
― Dr. Seuss, Horton Hears a Who!

“Of course,鈥� Horton answered. 鈥極f course I will stick.
I鈥檒l stick by you small folks through thin and through thick!”
― Dr. Seuss, Horton Hears a Who!

― Quentin R. Bufogle

“We are called to fight for Biblical justice, Boden. It will be uncomfortable and even frightening at times because the world doesn鈥檛 take kindly to us speaking against it. What the world loves, we鈥檙e to hate. And what we love, the world hates. That鈥檚 what happens when we walk a different path and live in the light while they languish in the dark.”
― Madisyn Carlin, Shattered Revelation

“When I first found out about Cerian鈥檚 deformity and made the choice to carry her to term, it felt like the destruction of my plans and hopes. It went against what I wanted. It limited me. But it was in this place of limitation that God showed me more of his love. Up until this point, the clamor of my desires and wishes had made me like a closed system centered in on myself, on my needs, flaws, and attributes. My life, even at times my religion, had revolved around achievement, reputation, and winning respect and approval from others.”
― Sarah C. Williams

“During the nine months I carried Cerian, God came close to me again unexpectedly, wild and beautiful, good and gracious. I touched his presence as I carried Cerian and as a result I realized that underneath all my other longings lay an aching desire for God himself and for his love. Cerian shamed my strength, and in her weakness and vulnerability, she showed me a way of intimacy. The beauty and completeness of her personhood nullified the value system to which I had subscribed for so long.”
― Sarah C. Williams, Perfectly Human: Nine Months with Cerian

“Adhering to the fifth commandment, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church (鈥淔rom its conception, the child has the right to life. Direct abortion, that is, abortion willed as an end or as a means, is a 鈥榗riminal' practice (GS 27 #3), gravely contrary to the moral law, the Church imposes the canonical penalty of excommunication for this crime against human life.鈥� n. 2322), I have always spoken out in my ministry as a Catholic priest and bishop against abortion.
