Anti-life organizations and individuals incessantly portray pro-life and pro-family activists as radical, right-wing, woman-hating, clinic-bombing, Bible-thumping nuts. In support of this stereotype, they gather up a handful of apparently extreme quotes and post them on the Internet or publish them in their newsletters.
Unfortunately for them, the anti-lifers don't have a whole lot to work with. The longest list of 'extreme anti-choice rhetoric' now in existence is on Planned Parenthood of Houston and Southwest Texas' Web site. It is entitled "Yes, They Really Said That!," and features a grand total of exactly ten "anti-choice" quotes.
If this is the best the pro-aborts can do, it is pretty unimpressive.
By contrast, Human Life International's Anti-Life Quote Archive consists of 4,860 different quotes from more than a thousand different anti-life individuals and organizations — and more than one thousand of them are from Planned Parenthood alone.
To be fair, we must acknowledge that it is much easier for anti-lifers to sound extreme than it is for pro-lifers to do so. After all, a person cannot sound anything but extreme and radical when he supports pedophilia, the Chinese forced-abortion program, child pornography, and third-trimester partial-birth abortions for mere convenience. So it was relatively easy to build this Anti-Life Quote Archive, which is merely an irrefutable chronicle of the hatred, bigotry and stupidity inherent in the anti-life mentality.
Many of these anti-life quotes go beyond radical to shocking (see the Planned Parenthood quote calling Mother Teresa a "puppet of the devil), and they are frequently quite vicious, as you can see from the quote by American Communists calling pro-lifers "vicious, rabid dogs."
And, of course, many anti-life quotes are just plain stupid. Just for fun, you can search this Archive to find out which famous pro-abortion actress said "I was asked to come to Chicago because Chicago is one of our 52 states, and the mandate we've now been given on the pro-choice abortion issue is that we have to pick up the pieces ... in 52 states across the nation, we have to bail water now out of the boat!"
Try finding an 'anti-choice' quote as stupid as that anywhere on the Web!
WARNING!
Anyone who has been a pro-life activist for more than about an hour knows that anti-lifers routinely use filthy, violent, blasphemous and scandalizing language. After all, they are naturally undisciplined and can't keep their illogical hatred bottled up inside for long.
Many of these anti-life quotes are nauseating, shocking, and so psychotic as to be positively disorienting. They are uncut and uncensored, so the filthy and repulsive language remains in the quotes. Beware if you are easily offended! How to Search This Archive.
This Archive is not meant to be printed out, because it is more than 2.7 million words long, and would be over 5,500 pages long with standard one-inch margins and a 12-point font. You should instead search it on your computer.
This is easy to do, because the quotes are grouped into 31 documents by category.
For example, if you are writing an article on sex education, and wanted an example of an anti-life 'sexologist' advocating sex between adults and children (pedophilia or pederasty), you can find more than eighty of them just by clicking here.
If you want to find more than a hundred 'choice' bigoted, racist and anti-Semitic quotes by anti-lifers, click here, here, and here.
And if you're simply in the mood to be entertained, just click here, and you'll find hundreds of hilariously idiotic quotes by various anti-life and media personalities that will have you rolling on the floor in short order.
Exceptional examples of all categories of these quotes are marked with an asterisk. So, if you are only looking for particularly stupid or extremely violent quotes by anti-lifers, just search for the asterisk [*] in the appropriate document.
Of course, if you would really like to gain detailed insight into the anti-life mentality, you could read all of the quotes in all 31 categories. This would take a long time, because the list is more than twice as long as Tolstoy's novel War and Peace, but you would learn a lot about how pro-abortionists, homosexual activists, pornographers, population controllers and other anti-lifers think, and you could mark various quotes to use in your future writing along the way.
Who knows? You may even find some ideas for articles!
The 31 Quote Categories (click on the title to go there).
You can use this extensive list of anti-life quotes for much more than entertainment.
Some suggestions on how to use the Archive;
•
You may be looking for a "typical" quote to support a general allegation against anti-lifers. For example, you might illustrate the strong connection between homosexuality and pedophilia. Under the category "Pedophilia," you can find quotes like this one in the San Francisco homosexual newspaper The Sentinel: "The love between man and boys is at the foundation of homosexuality. For the gay community to imply that boy-love is not homosexual love is ridiculous."
•
You may be doing research on a particular anti-life organization or individual. In this case, simply search for the group's or person's name for quotes.
•
Anti-life groups tolerate absolutely no questioning of their activities or tactics, and shout for "tolerance" and "nonjudgmentalism," while routinely labeling those who disagree with them "extremists" and "religious fanatics," among other things. You can use these actual word-for-word quotes to show exactly who is really "extremist," and you can use them in debating, call-in shows, or research papers.
•
You can find extreme quotes by an anti-lifer who may be running for office, or who is coming to your town to give a speech. You can use extreme quotes he may have uttered himself, or quotes made by other members of anti-life groups he is or has been affiliated with. If an anti-lifer is running for office, find out what groups he has belonged to in the past and confront him with quotes from members of that group. Demand that he disavow or denounce the extreme positions of his former group. If he waffles or refuses, he will look as if he is condoning the extreme positions of the groups he has been affiliated with.
•
In addition to raking in hundreds of millions of dollars a year from its abortion and birth control businesses, Planned Parenthood and other anti-life groups gobble up hundreds of millions of our tax dollars every year, from the national to the city level. You can use these quotes as background material that you can present to decision-makers in attempts to get these groups defunded. If the anti-lifers are going to agitate for abortion and attack pro-lifers, let them do so on their own dime.
•
Anti-life groups like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS), Planned Parenthood and Zero Population Growth (ZPG) have worked hard for years to build a "public face" — a thin veneer of respectability designed to cover their deadly and repulsive activities. Their workers and supporters commonly write editorials and letters to the editor in local and national newspapers. You can use the quotes in this document to help reveal the true character of these organizations.
•
Most volunteers and low-level local employees for the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) and other anti-life groups probably have no inkling of the disreputable nature of the organizations they are working for. If you are acquainted with any workers or volunteers for anti-life groups, this material may help you convince them to seek legitimate employment.
•
Use quotes from larger anti-life groups, such as Zero Population Growth (ZPG), the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA), or the National Organization for Women (NOW), to discredit them in debates, in testimony regarding litigation or legislation, or in letters to the editor. For example, if you are fighting a sex education program or school-based clinic (SBC) inspired by the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS), you can find several quotes by prominent members of the organization advocating incest and pedophilia.
•
For the past several years, pro-abortion and pro-'gay rights' groups have hypocritically asserted that 'extreme right-wing rhetoric' leads to violence. You can use this list to produce many examples of truly extreme rhetoric uttered or shouted by anti-lifers, perhaps in combination with the map and list of anti-life violence shown on Human Life International's Abortion Violence Web site.
•
You can also use these quotes for high school and college papers. If you are a teacher or the parent of a student, encourage your students to write about the racist, anti-immigrant, anti-religious, and eugenicist background of the major anti-life groups — in particular the forerunner of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger's American Birth Control League (ABCL).
Introduction. This Archive includes over a thousand different quotes from the Birth Control Review, published over the period 1917-1940 by the American Birth Control League (ABCL), forerunner of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA). This organization, founded by Margaret Sanger, currently operates the largest chain of abortion clinics in the United States, and has committed more than four million surgical abortions since 1972.
All of these quotes were taken from the 1970 unabridged publication of the first edition of the Birth Control Review by Da Capo Press (a division of Plenum Publishing Corporation).
If you have any questions regarding the Birth Control Review, or if you would like any further information on Margaret Sanger, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) or the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), the best source of authentic historical and financial information on Planned Parenthood is Stop Planned Parenthood International (STOPP), headed by Jim Sedlak.

Standard Objections by Planned Parenthood Defenders. When confronted with the material from the Birth Control Review in this Archive, pro-abortionists (and particularly Planned Parenthood workers) will invariably respond with one or more of three standard objections, as listed below. The following paragraphs show how to refute these objections. If you are going to use these quotes in a public context, you should learn this material.
"The Material is Taken Out of Context." The Birth Control Review enjoyed a 24-year run, from 1917 and 1940, and accounted for about 4,500 pages of text, a large volume of information by any standards. If Human Life International had carefully reviewed all of this material and had found perhaps two, three, or even a dozen or so questionable or offensive quotes, Planned Parenthood defenders would have a point if they stated that "the material was taken out of context."
However, this Archive contains well over a thousand objectionable quotes from the Birth Control Review, many of them quite lengthy — and any further effort at documentation would undoubtedly find many more.
The pages of the Birth Control Review are saturated with noxious ideas and statements — eugenic, racist, anti-immigrant, anti-Catholic, and so on. The "out of context" defense is grossly unpersuasive because the many repugnant ideas listed in this document are the context!
Keep in mind that Planned Parenthood smears Human Life International and many other pro-life organizations with ridiculous labels such as "anti-Semitic" and "racist," often with a single questionable quote made by a minor spokesperson, or a quote that is many years old. We should feel perfectly justified, then, in splattering Planned Parenthood with the same tarry brush, considering that we have nearly 1,200 quotes to work with. After all, if PP wants to play rough verbally, we should be able to use the same tactics.
What's fair is fair!
"Most of This Material Was Not Written By Margaret Sanger." Margaret Sanger wrote perhaps two percent of the total volume of information contained in the 24-year run of the Birth Control Review. However, many of her quotes are offensive in the extreme. For example, there are 23 lengthy quotes by Sanger in this Archive supporting negative eugenics alone, including her infamous "Plan for Peace."
To put this anti-life objection in context, we know that, if an American Nazi or known racist was allowed to print an article in a pro-life newsletter, the pro-abortionists would never let us forget it. They would not only smear the pro-life organization that published the offending article, they would relentlessly tar and feather the entire pro-life movement as "Nazis" and "racists."
Human Life International is merely holding Planned Parenthood to the same standard. The Birth Control Review is larded with articles written by such 'luminaries' as Lothrop Stoddard, American Birth Control League board member and author of the books The Rising Tide of Color Against White World-Supremacy and The Menace of the Under Man, and Ernst Rudin, Adolf Hitler's Director of Genetic Sterilization and founder of the Nazi Society for Racial Hygiene — the organization behind the master plan to exterminate Jews during World War II.
We can thus say with certainty that Planned Parenthood honors a person (Margaret Sanger) who not only befriended authentic racists and Nazis, but gave them a widespread platform to spread their poison.
"The Review Does Not Reflect Current Planned Parenthood Thinking." One typical reaction of Planned Parenthood defenders is to say that Margaret Sanger lived a long time ago, and her thoughts and writings are not representative of the philosophy of today's "new, improved" Planned Parenthood.
In response, pro-lifers can say with authority that no Planned Parenthood spokesperson — at any level — has ever disavowed Margaret Sanger. The furthest anyone has gone in this direction is Faye Wattleton's extraordinarily lame statement that "No one can really interpret what Sanger meant because she's dead" [New York City Tribune, February 23, 1988, page 1].
In fact, PPFA names its most prestigious major projects and awards after Sanger: The Margaret Sanger Award is given annually to the person that PPFA perceived as most advancing the cause of "reproductive rights" during the previous year, and PPFA's 1996 national fundraising drive was named "Maggie's Millions."
In fact, PPFA adores Sanger so much that she was, until recently, the centerpiece of its "Family Planning in America" narrative on its Web site.
In conclusion, an organization does not honor a person with photo albums, fawning articles, and attempts at memorialization unless it embraces that person's philosophies. Margaret Sanger's philosophies, as shown in this Archive, were eugenics, unlimited fornication and adultery, anti-Catholic and anti-immigrant bigotry, and population control.
