Abortion

• "My friend, O' Lordy
  Went to take care of her own body
  She got shot down in the road
  She looked up before she went
  She said "This isn't really what I meant"
  And the daily news said "2 with 1 stone"
  • Sheryl Crow, "Hard to Make a Stand"

• "We lived our dreams and challenged fate
  In tears she told me she was late
  Then Sally let his pidgeons out to fly
  She left one night with just a nod
  Was lost in some back alley job
  I close my eyes and Sally's pidgeons fly"
  • Cyndi Lauper, "Sally's Pidgeons"

• "If you look at the issue, you'll see that this isn't about the children. There are children starving in the sewers of Persia. There are babies in the AIDS wards, chucked out into the streets like … cabbage. If this were really about the children, they'd be doing something about the children that are already here. I don't play that game."
  • Tori Amos

• "When we look to the unborn child, the real issue is not when life begins, but when love begins."

  • Princeton Ethicist Paul Ramsey

• "It is statistically confirmed that the most dangerous place to be with in regard to the preservation of one's life is in the womb of a mother, who is being told that if she doesn't want her baby she can abort its life."
  • Unknown

• "No one 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

• "A feminazi is a woman to whom the most important thing in life is seeing to it that as many abortions as possible are performed."

  • George Carlin

• "Why is it that when it's us, it's an "abortion" and when it's chicken it's an "omelette"? Are we so much better than chickens all of a sudden?"
  • George Carlin
