"Have you ever noticed that all the people that support abortion have already been born?"
"If you don't know whether a body is alive or dead, you would never bury it. I think this coinsideration itself should be enough for all of us to insist on protecting the unborn."--Ronald Reagan, ABORTION & THE CONSCIENCE OF THE NATION, Thomas Nelson, 1984, p. 21.
"Modern medicine treats the unborn child as a patient. Medical pioneers have made great breakthroughs in treating the unborn--for genetic problems, vitamin deficiencies, irregular heart rhythyms, and other medical conditions. Who can forget George Will's moving account of the little boy who underwent brain surgery six times during the nine weeks before he was born? Who is the patient if not that tiny unborn human being who can feel pain when he or she is approached by doctors who come to kill rather than to cure?"--Ronald Reagan, pp. 21-22.
"Regrettably, we live at a time when some persons do not value all human life. They want to pick and choose which individuals have value...Obviously, some influential people want to deny that every human life has intrinsic, sacred worth. They insist that a member of the human race must have certain qualities before they accord him or her status as a 'human being.'"--Ronald Reagan, ABORTION & THE CONSCIENCE OF A NATION, pp. 24-25
Sad but true! The unborn have been disenfranchised and marginalized and declared less than human -- it goes without saying that we were all there at one time!
I'm looking forward to see how Kerry waffles on the abortion issue.
