There's a twisted perception that abortion fosters the empowerment of women. And then there's the barefaced reality that abortion hurts women. The former receives tiresome, exaggerated, and over-covered attention that portrays pro-life men as the culprits. The latter is real-life, heartbreaking, rarely catches the media's attention, and is opposed largely, by women.

The hard part about talking about it in general is everyone wants it to be just one thing: "abortion is good," "abortion is bad," or whatever. We really wanted to talk about the fact that, of course, as a group, we support a woman's right to choose, but also that every person is gonna have their own experience.

JOANNA CALO

When a nation sacrifices innocent children in abortion or infanticide, that is a sacrifice to demons, it's like food for demons.... that act of the shedding of innocent blood, the most innocent among us, it empowers satanic forces, it energizes satanic forces, it gives them the legal right to be at work in our culture, it energizes them, it empowers them, it gives them legal ground, it gives them permission to operate. So every time an abortion is performed in the United States of America, a jolt of power is given to Satan and to satanic forces.

BRYAN FISCHER

Yet, this can never really be true that an abortion is a right. Our rights come from God and amongst them is the inherent right to life -- not the right to destroy it.

SAM BROWNBACK

Our society breeds this guilt. We inhale it from all directions. Even women who come to the clinic completely solid in their decision to have an abortion say they feel guilty for not feeling guilty. Even though they know 110 percent that this is the best decision for them, they pressure themselves to feel bad about it.

EMILY LETTS

---

Feminazis have adopted abortion as a kind of sacrament for their religion/politics of alienation and bitterness.

Abortion is not merely a women's issue. An abortion is something that negatively affects the whole family -- the mother, the father and especially the unborn child.

MICAIAH BILGER

---

For many people, morality means a set of rules governing the disposition on one's genital organs; or a set of injunctions against lying, stealing, or killing except when such acts are sanctioned by church or state.

It takes irrational faith of a peculiar sort to know what we do about embryology and yet draw the line of personhood at the arbitrary point of birth.

KATE COUSINO

---

The entire basis of the pro-life movement is in failing to acknowledge the basic unknowability of others' point of view. The movement is fundamentally about imposing one's morality and definitions on others -- and marshaling the law in service of that imposition. To be pro-choice is to say: I can never ever walk in your shoes.

SARAH SELTZER

---

The extreme public controversies around abortion in America create the impression that a schism exists between the pro-choice movement and communities of faith: one side is denounced as sinful, the other written off as fanatics. Those of us who count ourselves as both religious and pro-choice know this kind of oversimplification is dangerous, because it ignores the religious foundations for affirming abortion as a morally justifiable decision.

DEBRA W. HAFFNER

---

Abortion is a violent, substandard, and unacceptable answer to the problems it is proposed to solve.

KATE COUSINO

---

The mortality rate for first trimester abortion is less than 1 per 100,000 procedures, for example, compared to nearly 9 deaths per 100,000 live births.

JORDAN SMITH

---

On every issue except abortion, those who stand up for social justice are considered by our society to be progressive. If you speak against abortion, however, you are no progressive; you are viewed as a "right-wing religious extremist" engaged in a "war on women's rights." The question of abortion, therefore, forces us to consider our motivations. When we advocate for social justice, are we truly fighting for justice, or are we simply seeking the affirmation of our peers?

MURRAY VASSER

Safe abortion is an essential health service for women. Would anyone today deliberately withhold effective HIV treatment or safe contraception from people who need them? Why, then, is it still acceptable that safe abortion is being withheld from so many women and girls with unwanted pregnancies?

MARGE BERER

---

Regardless of your view on abortion, there is absolutely no reason to force those who believe that abortion is murder to fund the abortion.

JAY SEKULOW

---

In reality, attempts to stop abortion through restrictive laws--or by withholding family planning aid--can never eliminate abortion, because those methods do not eliminate women's need for abortion.

SNEHA BAROT

---

Laws that regulate abortion should be evidence-based and designed to improve women's health.

AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION

---

The plain truth, the bitter truth for the Pro-Life side , is that abortion is now embedded in the culture.

DAVE NEESE

---

I suspect that we are blinded to the seriousness of abortion by a deep-seated national and ethnocentric bias. We have been taught since childhood that America is the land "with liberty and justice for all." The bloody, state-sponsored or state-permitted atrocities presented as such on the news are without exception committed in other countries.... It is far easier to decry the atrocities committed in Africa than to address the atrocities committed in our own neighborhoods. When we insist that [abortion] is morally indistinguishable from dismembering, disemboweling, and decapitating a newborn infant, we are calling into question the cherished myth of American superiority. We are forced to acknowledge that our nation is neither as compassionate nor as enlightened as we have allowed ourselves to believe.
