Political Quotes

“some years ago there was a great defense lawyer who worked out of Chicago. His name was Charles Darrow, and he was known as attorney for the dammed because he represented people who committed serious crimes, capital crimes, Loeb and Leopold, and he was very successful in helping them escape the penalties of the law. If I were practicing law and I could pick my clients, I would choose to represent the unborn child of a woman who is in prison. I cannot think of a more humiliating, more humble circumstance, more powerless, more unwanted, more unthought about, more inconvenient than a poor tiny little child. We did not hear much about the child. We heard about the women, and God knows the woman is suffering and has had the cards dealt to her from the bottom of the deck, and needs and deserves and must have our compassion, but for God's sake, 10 seconds for the little tiny child made in the image and likeness for God. Forgive me, but I believe that little child is precious, has an immortal soul, has a destiny, and give that little child a chance. Love that little child. There ought not to be a deficit of compassion and of love, not a failure of imagination. Think about that little tiny powerless human life that cannot vote, cannot rise up in the streets, cannot escape, depends on the care and the concern of those around.”
