Top 10 Pro Choice Quotes

1. "We really need to get over this love affair with the fetus and start worrying about children." - Joycelyn Elders

   This is correct. All the people who are pro-life should take in all the kids suffering from drug-addicted mothers, and kids with no food or health insurance, who are many times left to elderly, sick grandparents to care for. Take them home, feed them, and provide all their needs.

   This quote is very true. With no abortion, one is giving the fetus more rights than a living person. The fetus is not yet born and has not experienced life, but its host has.

2. "One method of destroying a concept is by diluting its meaning. Observe that by ascribing rights to the unborn, i.e., the nonliving, the anti-abortionists obliterate the rights of the living." - Ayn Rand

   This is also very true. If abortion is legal, then the pregnant woman can safely abort the fetus and continue her life as normal. Without abortion, women can have the child but then possibly live to have a long, horrible life. Which is more important? The fetus, which is not yet born, or the woman, who has experienced life and will continue to experience it until her death? The choice is obvious.

3. "George W. Bush will protect your unborn fetus, then send your grown child to die in war." - Rick Claro

   Hilarious, but sadly true. Fetuses have not been born and cannot enter wars. By giving the unwanted fetus a chance at life, you are also giving it a chance at misery.

4. "If you're against abortion, don't have one." - Unknown

   If you are so against it, just don't have one! It's simple!

5. "Abolition of a woman's right to abortion, when and if she wants it, amounts to compulsory maternity: a form of rape by the State." - Edward Abbey

   If abortion is deemed illegal, then a woman's rights are abolished. It is her body. Let her choose.

6. "If you don't trust me with a choice, how can you trust me with a child?" - Unknown

   The main reason why I am for abortion is that a child shouldn't come to this earth unwanted. Do you really want a mother who never wanted a child making sure that child's emotional needs are met?

   It is simply better to abort the fetus than to allow it to live and then give it a horrible life.

7. "No woman wants an abortion as she wants an ice cream cone or a Porsche. She wants an abortion as an animal caught in a trap wants to gnaw off its own leg." - Frederica Mathewes-Green

   Hmmm, I'm guessing that it must be as painful as period cramps and giving birth, as in all those situations something must pass through the cervix.

   A misconception about abortion is that women will go willy-nilly and get pregnant just to abort the child without giving it a second thought. While this is sometimes true, most of the time women hate getting abortions, but they have no other choice. How would you feel if you had to abort your child?

8. "Pro-choice is not anti-life." - Unknown

   Instead, it is giving one another a chance at life.

   Absolutely true!

9. "Seventy-seven percent of anti-abortion leaders are men. 100% of them will never be pregnant." - Planned Parenthood advertisement

10. "In the U.S. a lot of newborns are killed because they were unwanted. It is better to solve it immediately when a woman finds out about the pregnancy and she doesn't want a child. Better to go for an abortion than to kill a baby." - Chuck Schuldiner

The Contenders

11. "That baby you aborted could have been another Charles Manson!" - Unknown
