Exposing the Real Motives of
the
Pro-Life Movement
PRO LIFE QUOTES: "Since the new feminist version of women's empowerment requires all mothers to pursue careers and be economically independent of their husbands, it cannot abide the realities of motherhood..." Brian Robertson http://www.frc.org/get.cfm?i=PL04C03 "...The gender advisors (this is what they are really called), will provide assertiveness training to Iraqi women, urging them out of the home into the marketplace. They will organize special courses (reserved for women, of course) in which they are urged to run for public office and start their own businesses. The gender advisors will insist that gender quotas govern appointments to the new government. In the name of promoting grassroots democracy... "Steven W. Mosher http://www.pop.org/main.cfm?EID=446 (Population Research Institute is part of Human Life International) Joseph Scheidler Pro-Life Action League August 1985 "Don't you think that the irresponsible behaviour of men is caused by women? Pope John Paul's response to Dr Nafis Sadik's suggestion that the church could play a role in reducing the number of unwanted pregnancies in Third World countries by teaching men not to "impose themselves" on unwilling wives. "Technical advances permit women to avoid conception for continuation of pregnancy. Women pay dearly for this non-freedom. First, they become slaves of their erotic sensuality, they are easily by the male of the species, they truely become sexual toys, and their de-naturalization now transforms them into nothing more than large semen containers." J.C. Espinosa "Birth Control, Why are they Lying to Women" 1980 "A mother should have a child even if it is deformed, even if it was unplanned, even, if it is the product of rape and even if by having it leads to her death." Jaime Guzman, 1974, cited in Lagos "By outlawing contraception, you're closer to outlawing surgical abortion..."So if, as the pro-life community, you're trying to outlaw surgical abortion but the court has told us its legal basis is founded on the necessity of abortion, shouldn't the pro-life community begin to take a look at contraception?..We're trying to overturn Roe v. Wade, but the court is pointing us over here," Those who don't turn their attention to trying to outlaw contraception at this point... hurt the anti-abortion cause" Matt Sande, director of legislative affairs for Pro-Life Wisconsin. "It's very healthy for a young girl to be deterred from promiscuity by fear of contracting a painful, incurable disease, or cervical cancer, or sterility, or the likelihood of giving birth to a dead, blind or brain-damaged baby." Phyllis Schlafly, founder and leader of the Eagle Forum "I won't be rushing out to get my daughters vaccinated (HPV) , maybe that's because I'm a cruel, callow, callous, heartless bastard but, look, I won't be," Tony Abbott MP opponent of RU486 "Giving the HPV to young women could be potentially harmful, because they may see it as a license to engage in premarital sex." Bridget Maher of the Family Research Council interview with British magazine "New Scientist" "Women have babies and men provide the support. If you don't like the way we're made you've got to take it up with God." Phyllis Schlafly “Sex education classes are like in-home sales parties for abortions” Phyllis Schlafly “Guns have little or nothing to do with juvenile violence. The causes of youth violence are working parents who put their kids into daycare, the teaching of evolution in the schools, and working mothers who take birth control pills.” Tom DeLay, on causes of the Columbine High School massacre, 1999 "The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians." Pat Robertson, Christian Coalition "I know this is painful for the ladies to hear, but if you get married, you have accepted the headship of a man, your husband. Christ is the head of the household and the husband is the head of the wife, and that's the way it is, period." Pat Robertson, Christian Coalition "I don't think Christians should use birth control. You consummate your marriage as often as you like (marital rape?!?) – and if you have babies, you have babies." Randall Terry Operation Rescue "We are totally opposed to abortion under any circumstances. We are also opposed to abortifacient drugs and chemicals like the pill and the IUD, and we are also opposed to all forms of birth control with the exception of natural family planning (the rhythm method)" Judie Brown, President American Life Lobby New York Times October 6, 1985 "Sex education in our public schools are promoting incest." Rev Jimmy Swaggart August 19, 1984 "Birth control is evil and a sin. Birth Control is anti-Baby and anti-Child. Isn't that the purpose for birth control to stop the life of an innocent baby from being born. Why would you stop your own child from being conceived or born? What kind of human being are you?" http://www.armyofgod.com "It sends the wrong message.... "Our concern is that this vaccine (HPV) will be marketed to a segment of the population that should be getting a message about abstinence." Tony Perkins, opponent of the HPV vaccine, president of the Family Research Council, a Christian organization "There is nothing loving about sex." "Having sex without horniness is a greater expression of love. Sex is self-satisfying, but not meant for pleasure." Fr. Paul Marx Human Life International Symposium on Human Sexuality "Incest is a voluntary act on the woman's part." Charles Rice, professor of law Notre Dame Univ. http://www.all.org/article.php?id=10065 There is nothing more hideous than seeing a wife stand up to her husband. (Nancy Campbell 'Can You Keep Your Honour?', Above Rubies, April 2003, 13) - "Above Rubies" is an anti-feminist organization that promotes perpetual childbearing and women's subservient role. "Inequality is the natural condition." Fr. Paul Marx Human Life International Symposium on Human Sexuality "ANY sexual activity which attempts to bypass reproduction is a sin. God joined the creation of life together with the pleasures of sexual intercourse. Birth control and abortion attempt to defeat the creation of life that is entwined by Nature's God with the reproductive act. So does masturbation." http://www.goodmorals.org/sterile.html "Many women have been brainwashed by the mindset of our society. They have been educated beyond their intelligence and beyond their natural instincts ..." (Nancy Campbell 'The Flourishing Mother', Above Rubies, March 2002, 13) "Your children are your trophies that you can introduce to the Saviour!" Val Stares, Heather Jones and Annie Barnes, 'A Letter to the Nation', Above Rubies, Aug. 2006 (distributed Dec. 2006), 27: "The feminists of the Sisterhood in the Federal Parliament ... have united again for the cause of promiscuity. The miracle cure recently discovered for cervical cancer will be given to school students aged between 12 and 18 years ... Many parents have voiced their wonderment and disgust at the idea of 12 year old girls receiving the shot ... I believe this shows the minds of the 'sisterhood'. They all assume that 12 year old girls are sexually active." Elaine Nile, Christian Democratic Party, Family World News, Dec. 2006, 5 "The proposed law on rape within marriage threatens the whole concept of the special marriage relationship." Light magazine, Nov. 1976, 6 Rev. Fred Nile, Christian Democratic Party "Child-care payments [by government] are clearly a mindless concession to placate the snapping hordes of femocrats ensconced in the bureaucracy." Alan Barron, Institute of Men's Studies (associate organisation of Babette Francis's Endeavour Forum), 'Child care is not only wrong but it's costing taxpayers heaps', Endeavour Forum Inc. Newsletter, Oct. 2006, 11) "REAL WOMEN OF CANADA does not support the concept of universally available, government subsidized day care. Universal day care is an imposed government plan of institutional care for children. Studies show that for young children, the family setting is usually preferable.We do not believe that it is a fundamental rightî for all women, regardless of circumstances, to have universal day care, but rather day care should be available according to need." "Real women of Canada" is an anti abortion, anti feminist, pro life organization http://www.realwomenca.com/papers/child_care.htm "Child care is not only wrong but it's costing taxpayers heaps" Endeavour Forum Inc. Newsletter, Oct. 2006, 11. Endeavour Forum is a pro life, anti feminist organization." Alan Barron, Endevour Forum http://www.endeavourforum.org.au/oct2006-11.htm "Girls have good reason to be more confident than boys, because academically, around the globe, they are more successful - which is likely to lead to higher-income jobs" Alan Baron, Endevour Forum. Mr Barron is worried that girls are becoming educated and are getting better jobs. http://www.endeavourforum.org.au/april04-02.htm "It is interesting that today many women are so educated beyond their intelligence that they no longer understand the way God created them - with a womb to nurture life and breasts to nourish that precious life." Nancy Campbell, 'Fully Female', "No one wants to see that kind of thing happening, but nevertheless I am comfortable with the existing policy." Tony Abbott, Minister for Health, responding to a cross-party group of MPs campaigning to overturn a ban on using Australian aid money to train abortion providers in poor countries (this could save the lives of up to 70,000 women who die each year from botched terminations), Melbourne Age, 12 May 2006 "Woven into the cloth of an apron are unseen threads of a sweet feminine spirit, a spirit of meekness, humility and contentment. That little flap of frilly, feminine fabric tied around a woman's waist symbolised her acceptance of her role and duties. It was her badge of honour and represented submission to God and to her husband ... Its strings gently tug at us, tenderly, softly calling us to turn back to the old ways, the Biblical ways of order in the home." Nancy Campbell, 'Where's my apron?', Above Rubies, Nov. 2005, 9, quoting her friend Terry Leib "Marrying a virgin and being totally faithful within your marriage is the only way to be 100 per cent sure your child is yours ." Peter Stokes, Executive Officer, Salt Shakers, letter in Melbourne Age, 23 Mar. 2005 "The passion of making love is a lot like hot molten metal. Kept within the channel of marriage this passionate love creates children and is the spiritual act of oneness that gives marriage its transcendence. When this hot passion spills outside the confines of a faithful marital relationship, it is a lot like the hot molten metal that spills out of the cradles at the steel works and explodes. What happens is always unpredictable and it can even cause death." Warwick Marsh, Founder, Fatherhood Foundation, Newsletter No. 126, 24 Jan. 2005, 2-3 Is it about saving babies?
