Birth Control

"To be against abortion and not against contraception -- it makes no
sense because both of them are the same mentality."
        Nancy O'Brien, anti-choice activist, March 11, 1989

"Meanwhile, let it be clear what we do; we fight
contraception-sterilization-abortion on six continents."
        Fr Paul Marx, President Human Life International
	in his brochure, Human Life Internation Explained

"I don't think Christians should use birth control.  You consimate
your marriage as often as you like -- and if you have babies, you have
babies..." 
        Randall Terry, Executive Director Operation Rescue,
	Philidelphia Inquirer June 26, 1988

"...once contraception is accepted and the purposes of sex are seperated
from procreation and marriage, sterilization and abortion become
acceptable, and then infanticide, the precursor to outright
euthenasia.  Further, homosexuality and unnatural sexual activities
become 'natural and normal,' the veneral diseases get out of control,
divorce and illegitimacy rates mount, and the family swiftly
disintegrates." 
	Valerie Riches, Anti-family planning educator,
        in her brochure, Contraception's Legacy

"The so-called Christian world is contracepting itself out of
existence." 
        Fr L. Kieffer, HLI Reports, August 1989

"...the Pro-Life Action League opposes ALL forms of contraception..."
        Joseph Scheidler, Executive Director, Pro-Life Action League
        The Wanderer, August 10, 1989

"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."
	Judie Brown, President American Life League
	Population Institute advertisement,
	"How Dense Can We Get?"
	The NY Times, October 6, 1985

"I would never give artificial birth control to an unmarried person..."

"Griswold v Connecticut first established and guaranteed the 'right of
privacy' in the conjugal act.  Sexual love, however, in a most
profound way is anything but 'private.'  Its very purpose is to break
the bounds of privacy by physical consummation of an unreserved gift
of self.  The contraceptive, however, denies the meaning of marital
love by falsifying its bodily expression.  Love is no longer
unreserved; something is held back.  'I cannot love all of you,' the
contraceptive says, 'because I cannot love all that might be created
by you.'"
	Edmund Miller, anti-abortion commentator
	Fidelity, October 1989

Sexuality Education

"Resist, expose, or stop immediately every public school of group sex
education program, no matter what it is called or how it is diffused
into the curriculum."
        Fr Paul Marx, President Human Life International
	in his brochure, From Contraception to Abortion

"Sex education classes are like in-home sales parties for abortion."
	Phyllis Schlafly, President Eagle Forum
	Human Events, May 18, 1985

"'Self Esteem' [has been] promoted over and over again as the new
panecea, along with teaching 'responsibility.'  However, parents must
remember that 'self-esteem' is a double-edged sword.  While it may be
true that a child needs a great deal of self confidence to reject
undesirable peer influence, it will, at the same time, require a
defiantly self-confident child to have the courage to violate his or
her family values and/or Judeo-Christian heritage, and engage in the
'responsible' promiscuity being promoted by the liberal sex
educators."
	Margo Szews, Anti-choice commentator
	A.L.L. (American Life League) About Issues
	June-July 1989

"It's very healthy for a young girl to be deterred from promescuity 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 even ten years later when she may be happily
married." 
	Phyllis Schlafly, President Eagle Forum
	Phyllis Schlafly Report, June 9, 1981

"One of the most devastating enemies of the family is radical sex
education in the public school.  It is more explicit than necessary
for the good of the child.  Too much sex education too soon causes
undue curiosity and obsession with sex."
	Beverly LaHaye, President Concerned Women of America
	In her newsletter, April 1981

"What masquerades as sex education is not education at all.  It is
selective propaganda which artificially encourages children to
participate in adult sex, while it sensors out the facts of life about
the unhappy consequences.  It is robbing children of their childhood."
	Phyllis Schlafly, President Eagle Forum
	Phyllis Schlafly Report, "What's Wrong With Sex Education"
	February 1981

Sexuality

"Christians maintain a higher enjoyment level in the intamacy of their
love life than the population in general."
        Beverly LaHaye, President Concerned Women of America
	in her book, The Act of Marriage, The Beauty of Sexual Love, 1976

"There is absolutely nothing loving about sex... Lust is as
destructive of love inside of marriage as it is outside."
	Fr. John H. McGoey, Anti-Family Planning Educator
	Human Life International Symposium on Human Sexuality
	April 25, 1986

Feminism

"For those of you who don't know, you know [sic] that after about
three or four years of concern on this issue the board of the National
Right to Life Committee voted to oppose ERA."
	Dr. John Wilke, President National Right to Life Committee
	"Weekend" January 21, 1979

"It should not be any surprise to you when you understand that in the
feminist movement, it is said, to be a true feminist you have to be
lesbian."
       Tim Golba, State President Kansans For Life, Inc.
       "Kansans For Life Newsletter" January 1992, page 2

watch me."
        Joseph Scheidler, Executive Director, Pro-Life Action League
	Pro-Life Action News, August 8, 1989	

"If only Catholics would stick together and live up to their Faith [as
regards the use of birth control], they could control the world and
the world's morality."
        Dr. Claude Newbury, Director, Human Life International Johannesburg
	HLI Special Report, No. 62

Poverty

"To me, one of the most exciting things in the world is being poor,
and survival, such an exciting challenge."
	Thomas S. Monaghan, Founder, Domonio's Pizza and Legatus
	National Catholic Reporter, March 23, 1990

	Dr. James C. Dobson's "Focus on the Family"

"Indeed, to quarantine a person with AIDS or the AIDS virus does
entail a loss, in the short term, of human freedom.  Agreed.  But the
idea of human freedom isn't now, and never has been, absolute.
Besides, in the long run, as I have noted, all people with AIDS die."
	John Lofton, anti-choice columnist The Washington Times
	March 31, 1989

"And one of the ways that heterosexuals are infected [with HIV] is
because of contact with homosexuals."
	Steven Freind, Republican Primary Candidate for U.S. Senate
        Pitt News, January 8, 1992

Abortion

"You can't stop abortion without fighting contraception; it is the
gateway to abortion.  Not one of the 81 countries I've worked in has
nice 'clean' contraception without abortion -- not one.  Once there's
contraception -- seperating sexual activity from procreation and
teaching people to use each other's bodies for selfish pleasure --
abortion is always used as a backup."
	Fr. Paul Marx, President Human Life Internation
	Pro-Life/Family Catalog 1991

"There's no difference between killing a four-year old child and
aborting a pre-born 3-month old [fetus]."
	Randall Terry, Executive Director Operation Rescue
	in his film, "Higher Laws"

Anti-abortion Pregnancy Counseling Centers

"Never counsel for contraception or refer to agencies making
contraceptives available.  Some volunteers may feel that is the lesser
of two evils, reasoning that if the girl is going to be sexually
active anyway, why not at least help her from getting pregnant with
contraceptives.  This type of thinking is not only inaccurate but
unacceptable and against general pro-life philosophy, and Christian
principles."
	Robert J. Pearson, President The Pearson Foundation,
	in his guidebook, "How to Start and Operate a Pro-Life
		Out-Reach Pregnancy Service Center", 1984

Clinic Harrassment

"For Instance, several years ago we tracked down a twelve-year-old
girl who was going to have an abortion so that we could talk her out
of it.  Talking a women out of having an abortion is not news.  But
tracking her down by using a private detective is."
        Joseph Scheidler, Executive Director, Pro-Life Action League
	Closed: 99 Ways to Stop Abortion, 1985

Clinic Violence

"Destroying property is sometimes the only way to save lives."
	Mary Meehan, Anti-choice Columnist
	The National Catholic Register, October 12, 1985

"If we fail to make non-violent action a real, viable, obviously
strong possibility... then I think we're going to drift into guerrilla
warfare."
	John Cavanaugh-O'Keefe, Director Pro-life Non-Violent Action Project
	The National Catholic Register, January 4, 1987

"I am not a pacifist, I celebrate the Fourth of July and all that
means, which was guns and bullets to get freedom."
	Randall Terry, Executive Director Operation Rescue
	Orange County Register, March 20, 1989

"Whoever did this [planted a pipe bomb at the Margaret Sanger Center]
is a hero.  I think they are heroes.  The bible commands us to rescue
those being dragged to death."
	Nancy O'Brien, Co-director Project Jericho
	"Channel 9 News", WCTO-TV, February 23, 1987

"Nat Goldstein and Jim Simmons in Florida, Curtis Beseda out west who
has destroyed abortion clinics, these men are looked up by my arm of
the movement as the foremost heroes of the movement..."

Homosexuality

"Homosexual activity is a form of conduct, as is drinking, as are
drugs, as are a host of other things."
	Steven Freind, Republican Primary Candidate for U.S. Senate
        Pitt News, January 8, 1992

"Since it [homosexuality] happens to be abnormal behavior ... If
everybody chose that course of conduct, the human race would end...
That's a pretty good indication of what's abnormal."
	Steven Freind, Republican Primary Candidate for U.S. Senate
        Pitt News, January 8, 1992
