“My abortion was so long ago I didn’t think I needed help. I hoped God had forgiven me but I hadn’t realized I didn’t forgive myself. After attending this safe, nurturing group I know that I am forgiven and set free.”

Physical pain is a fact that comes with living, just as illness or financial woes or broken relationships are facts. But misery is a state of mind, a reaction to the facts, that can be controlled or altered by an act of will.

Your appearance can be a weapon. As powerful as any knife or gun.

Pain nourishes courage. You can’t be brave if you’ve only had wonderful things happen to you.

Pain is inevitable. Misery is optional.

An enlightened citizen is an indispensable ingredient of the infrastructure of democracy.

Clutter is postponed decisions.

I don’t invest in rich kids’ businesses.

Any woman should have the right to a safe and legal abortion.

What do you say we lighten things up and talk about abortion?

We were looking for some sexy, catchy slogans to capture public opinion. They were very cynical slogans then, just as all of these slogans today are very, very cynical.

The women working at abortion clinics are really on the front lines and the true heroes of feminism.

Another myth we fed to the public through the media was that legalizing abortion would only mean that the abortions taking place i1legally would then be done legally.

Fetology makes it undeniably evident that life begins at conception and requires all the protection and safeguards that any of us enjoy….As a scientist I know, not believe, know that human life begins at conception.

We sensationalized the effects of illegal abortions, and fabricated polls which indicated that 85 percent of the public favored unrestricted abortion, when we knew it was only 5 percent.

The point is that what we want, Democrats, and what we’ve always wanted, is to make abortion safe, legal, and rare.
