Political Quotes

Sadly, abortion reveals society's inability to love, to protect, and to care for the most innocent and helpless among us. When we devalue life, our society suffers. When we deem some to be nonessential, we devalue their lives. I am strongly pro-life, and I consistently stand up for the rights of the unborn and the born. Our society is willing to and does care for the mother in need. Perhaps she is scared and alone. Americans across the country reach out to help mothers and the children that they are nourishing in their wombs.

Without this protection, taxpayer-funded abortions not only harm us as a society but violate the religious freedoms of thousands of Americans.

In 1994, then-Senator Joe Biden wrote, ``Those of us who are opposed to abortion should not be compelled to pay for them.'' In God we trust. ____________________”
