Political Quotes

“I rise in this hour to speak for the millions of innocent voices that have been silenced due to the passage of Roe v. Wade on this day, 35 years ago. Since the passage of Roe v. Wade, the National Right to Life estimates that nearly 50 million lives have been lost. This number is staggering. What do the deaths of 50 million children say about the state of our Nation? It says that the Declaration of Independence is no longer absolute, as its 'unalienable' right to life only applies when it is convenient. It says that Congress can make a Federal crime out of roosters crossing State lines, but when a defenseless child is taken across state lines to have an abortion, it is merely a 'right'--a choice being exercised. It says that seven unelected Supreme Court justices ignored the separation of powers, and appointed themselves as a superior legislature in order to decide the abortion issue. But what is the good news? The good news is that citizens who believe that the Constitution protects life in all its seasons have worked to educate the public about abortion and the biological development of the unborn child, as well as to provide support and options for women when they need it the most. As a result, abortion numbers continue to drop from a high of over 1.6 million in 1990 to 1.2 million in 2005--proving that when given the right options and the whole truth about abortion, many women will choose life.”
