From my quotes site christiansquoting.org.uk

abortion

Would you consider abortion in the following four situations?
1.There's a preacher and wife who are very, very poor. They already have 14 children. Now she finds out she's pregnant with their 15th! They're living in tremendous poverty. Considering their poverty and the excessive world population, would you recommend she get an abortion?
2.The father is sick with sniffles, the mother has TB. They have four children. The first child is blind, the second is dead. The third child is deaf, the fourth has TB. She finds she's pregnant again. Given the extreme situation, would you consider recommending abortion?
3.A white man raped a 13 year old black girl and she became pregnant. If you were her parents, would you consider recommending abortion?
4.A teenage girl is pregnant. She's not married. Her fiance is not the father of the baby, and he's very upset. Would you consider recommending abortion?
If you would have recommended abortion in any of these situations, you should know that...
In the first case, you recommended killing John Wesley, one of the great evangelists of the 18th century.
In the second case, you recommended killing Ludwig Von Beethoven, one of the most famous musical composers of all time.
In the third case, you recommended killing Ethel Waters, one of the nations leading gospel singers.
In the fourth case, you have just recommended killing Jesus Christ.

Christians believe life begins at conception. Liberals believe that life begins at birth. Jews believe that life begins when the children leave home and the dog dies.

A student was sitting in law class when the professor asked him if he knew what the Roe vs Wade decision was. He sat there for quite a while pondering this very profound question and finally sighed and said: "I think that's the decision George Washington made prior to crossing the Delaware..."

Only half the patients who go into an abortion clinic come out alive.

If it isn't a baby, then you aren't pregnant, so what are you aborting?

Christians are differentiated from other people by country, language, or customs . ..they do not live in cities of their own or speak some strange dialect . . . They live in their own native lands, but as resident aliens . . . .They marry and have children just like everyone else, but they do not kill unwanted babies.
Epistle to Diognetus

A woman who intentionally destroys a fetus is guilty of murder. And we do not even talk about the fine distinction as to its being completely formed or unformed. Basil the Great

Abortions will not let you forget.
You remember the children you got that you did not get........
I have heard in the voices of the wind the voices of my dim killed children.
I have contracted. I have eased
My dim dears at the breasts they could never suck.
I have said, Sweets, if I sinned, if I seized
Your luck
And your lives from your unfinished reach,
If I stole your births and your names,
Your straight baby tears and your games,
Your stilted or lovely loves, your tumults, your marriages, aches,
and your deaths,If I poisoned the beginnings of your breaths,
Believe that even in my deliberateness I was not deliberate...............
Gwendolyn Brooks (1917-) The Mother

Thou shalt not kill; thou shalt not commit adultery; thou shalt not corrupt youth; thou shalt not commit fornication; thou shalt not steal; thou shalt not use soothsaying; thou shalt not practise sorcery; thou shalt not kill a child by abortion, neither shalt thou slay it when born; thou shalt not covet the goods of thy neighbour; -- The Didache, c. 100 AD

He had a decade to repent. He refused. He stood before the cameras this week, displaying the familiar grin that had been published in newspapers and magazines across the nation a decade ago.
We have recently seen this same grin on the face of Amorzi bin Nurhasyim, the "smiling bomber" who helped kill 202 people in the bombing of a hotel in Bali, Indonesia. Praising Allah throughout his trial and at his conviction, he brought disrepute on Islam. His grin never changed. Neither did Hill's.
On seeing Amorzi bin Nurhasyim's grin and his thumbs-up sign after the court declared his death sentence, viewers correctly concluded: "Fanatical nut-case zealot." This is exactly the response a decade ago when they saw the same response by Hill. It was the correct response. So were the official declarations: "Guilty as charged."
Christian fundamentalists look at Amorzi bin Nurhasyim and conclude, "Islamic zealot. Good riddance." Then they look at Paul Hill and conclude, "Poor misguided man. May God be merciful to him." I call this approach selective judgment. It is at the heart of antinomianism: mercy without repentance.
What outraged the pro-abortionists was that Hill had adopted their strategy of executing the judicially unconvicted. He had put an abortionist in his sites, just as they put millions of unborn American children in theirs. For them, this was turf-invasion. They do not tolerate turf invasion.
To those who view him as a martyr, I recommend immediate repentance. Mere prudence is insufficient. Prudence may not be enough to protect these people from self-destruction. Prudence is not characteristic of the fanatic. Paul Hill was a fanatic. He was a fanatic who adopted violence as his mode of expression -- bloody violence and a grin.}|
So, here is my epitaph for Paul Hill

Paul J. Hill
He is no longer grinning.
Gary North

It is not possible to speak of the right to choose when a clear moral evil is involved, when what is at stake is the commandment Do not kill! -- John Paul II (1920-2005)

The cemetery of the victims of human cruelty in our century is extended to include yet another vast cemetery, that of the unborn.
John Paul II, London, 9 June 1991

While it is true that the taking of life not yet born or in it's final stages is sometimes marked by a mistaken sense of altruism and human compassion it cannot be denied that such a culture of death, taken as a whole, betrays a completely individualistic concept of freedom, which ends up by becoming the freedom of " the strong" against the weak who have no choice but to submit. - Evangelium Vitae-Gospel of Life Pope John Paul II

No one is fond of taking responsibility for his actions, but consider how much you'd have to hate free will to come up with a political platform that advocates killing unborn babies but not convicted murderers. -- P.J. O'Rourke

However we may pity the mother whose health and even life imperilled by the performance of her natural duty, there yet remains no sufficient reason for condoning the direct murder of the innocent. -- Pius XI

Abortion: A form of birth control.
Women's Rights: Supporting the right to destroy a human fetus for personal convenience
Animal Rights: Opposing the right to destroy a rabbit for cancer research.
(N.B.: In our time, the intellectual and moral norm is to regard a baby seal as of infinitely more worth than a human fetus.)
Fetus: An unborn baby that is to be aborted.
Baby: An unborn baby that is not to be aborted.
(N.B.: When a woman is pregnant and wants to give birth, no one asks her, no matter how early in the pregnancy, "So, how's the fetus doing?" We only use the term "fetus" when we plan to destroy it. Otherwise we use "baby" from the first day of pregnancy.)
Dennis Prager, Word Abuse

Abortion is advocated only by persons who have themselves been born.-- Ronald Reagan

It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish. -- Mother Teresa

In time, they will start killing grown-up people, disabled people and so on.-- Mother Teresa

Abortion is the greatest destroyer of peace because if a mother can kill her own child, what is left for me to kill you, and you to kill me? There is nothing between. Mother Theresa

For us, murder is once for all forbidden... It makes no difference whether one take away the life once born, or destroy it as it comes to birth. He is a man, who is to be a man; the fruit is always present in the seed.... Tertullian (160?-230?)

Paul Hill did the right thing. That babykilling abortionist was on his way into the abortion mill to murder some more babies and Paul Hill stopped him. Paul Hill saved those babies from being murdered by that babykilling abortionist. You appear to prefer 50 dead babies to one babykilling abortionist.

Graham Weeks said...

Hill did wrong. He lowered himself to the level of a murderer and so became on a level with the abortionists. He had no mandate to take the law of God into his own hands and punish a murderer. He saved no babies.
