"In the fourth century, in Caesarea, Christian parish minister "Basil..discovered a guild of abortionists, or sagae, that were doing a booming trade in Caesarea, and the surrounding environs. They provided herbal potions, pessaries, and even surgical remedies for women who wished to avoid child-bearing. The bodies of the children were then harvested and sold to cosmetologists in Egypt, who used the collagen for the manufacture of various beauty creams."
George Grant

"There are two ways: the way of life and the way of death, and the difference between these two ways is great. Therefore, do not murder a child by abortion or kill a newborn infant."
The Didache (Christian Apostolic moral teachings from the first century)

"We say that those who use drugs to bring on abortion commit murder. And we also say they will have to give an account to God for the abortion. So on what basis could we commit murder? For it does not belong to the same person to regard the very fetus in the womb a created being (and thererfore an object of God's care) yet when he has passed into life, to kill him. We also teach that it is wrong to expose infants. For those who expose infants are guilty of child murder."
Athenagoras (175 AD)

"You shall love your neighbor more than your own life. You shall not slay a child by abortion. You shall not kill that which has already been generated."

From the Hippocratic Oath, Hippocrates, The Father of Modern Medicine, 460?-377? B.C.

Tertullian 3rd century

"Guilty? Yes. No matter what the motive, love of ease, or a desire to save from suffering the unborn innocent, the woman is awfully guilty who commits the deed. It will burden her conscience in life, it will burden her soul in death; But oh, thrice guilty is he who drove her to the desperation which impelled her to the crime!"
Susan B. Anthony

"While the deep concern of a woman bearing an unwanted child merits consideration and sympathy, it is my personal feeling that the legalization of abortion on demand is not in accordance with the value which our civilization places on human life. Wanted or unwanted, I believe that human life, even at its earliest stages, has certain rights which must be recognized -- the right to be born, the right to love, the right to grown old.

I share the confidence of those who feel that America is working to care for its unwanted as well as wanted children, protecting particularly those who cannot protect themselves. I also share the opinions of those who do not accept abortion as a response to our society's problems -- an inadequate welfare system, unsatisfactory job training programs, and insufficient financial support for all its citizens.

When history looks back to this era it should recognize this generation as one which cared about human beings enough to halt the practice of war, to provide a decent living for every family and to fulfill its responsibility to its children from the very moment of conception."
Sen. Edward Kennedy, August 3, 1971

"I am opposed to abortion and to government funding of abortions. We should not spend state funds on abortions because so many people believe abortion is wrong."
Bill Clinton, September 26, 1986

"There are those who argue that the right to privacy is of [a] higher order than the right to life ... that was the premise of slavery. You could not protest the existence or treatment of slaves on the plantation because that was private and therefore outside your right to be concerned.

What happens to the mind of a person, and the moral fabric of a nation, that accepts the aborting of the life of a baby without a pang of conscience? What kind of a person and what kind of a society will we have 20 years hence if life can be taken so casually? It is that question, the question of our attitude, our value system, and our mind-set with regard to the nature and worth of life itself that is the central question confronting mankind. Failure to answer that question affirmatively may leave us with a hell right here on earth."
Rev. Jesse Jackson, January 1977

"Many of us are hunting mice - while lions devour the land."
Leonard Ravenhill

"The world is where it is because we have slept on our watch. We're that unfaithful bride. Like the Priest and the Levite on the road to Jericho, we condemn the actions of a woman who murders her children when we don't care enough about that same child to drive across town to save her. It's hypocrisy!"
Dennis E. Green
