Caffall, Brian

""The crazy Christers are going to love this one." If the religious right wing was upset about Daddy's Roommate, Michael Willhoite's ground-breaking children's book about a boy living with his gay father and the father's lover, Willhoite expects them to go ballistic when he completes work on the sequel, Daddy's Wedding. He already refers to himself and colleague Leslea Newman, who created the equally controversial Heather Has Two Mommies, as the "Antichrist Twins," raking an almost perverse satisfaction in the firestorm his book has caused. "We may not be able to change their minds, the Helmses and Buchanans, but at least we can take a shot at changing their children's minds.""

Calderone, Mary (founder, Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS))

"We have yet to beat our public health drums for birth control in the way we beat them for polio vaccine; we are still unable to put babies in the class of dangerous epidemics, even though that is the exact truth."

Medical Morals newsletter, February-March 1968.

"One thing is certain, in any cases of sexual contact between a child and an adult where there has been no force or violence, the greater the fuss and uproar the greater the possible damage to the minor."
"The major effects of such incidents are caused not by the event itself but by the outraged, angry, fearful, and shocked reactions of the adults who learn of it, whether they be parents, relatives, or police. It is these immoderate reactions which may cause whatever psychological damage occurs."

The Family Book About Sexuality [New York City: Harper and Row], 1981, page 178.

"But is it not true that fundamentally most therapeutic abortions are actually being granted because of socioeconomic and humanitarian reasons that are masked as psychiatric or other medical reasons? I think this is an important point."

—: Mary Steichen Calderone, M.D., founder of the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS) and its President from 1964 to 1982, Medical Director of Planned Parenthood/World Population (PP/WP) from 1982 to 1993, and President of Physicians for Social Responsibility (PSR), at the 1955 conference on induced abortion held by the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF). Quoted in Mary Calderone, M.D. (editor). Abortion in the United States [New York City: Paul B. Hoeber, Inc.], 1956.

"The adolescent years are, among other things, for learning how to integrate sex usefully and creatively into daily living. Therefore, we must accept that adolescent sexual experimentation is not just inevitable, but actually necessary for normal development. ... The adolescent years are, among other things, for learning how to integrate sex usefully and creatively into daily living.

Quoted in "Woman Favors Sex Testing by Adolescents." Minneapolis Tribune, October 13, 1965.

"I advocate discussion of it [sex], so young people know they have choices beginning with masturbation, of course, and petting to climax and mutual orgasm before moving on to intercourse. ... An extramarital affair that's really solid might have a very good result."

Question: "You use nothing but clinical terms. When you are dealing with children, they use the old four-letter, Anglo-Saxon terms. Do you think it's necessary in dealing with them at their level to keep it clinical?"

Calderone: I think it's necessary to do that which is comfortable for them and comfortable for you. I did use the word "f—" once on a public platform of a high school and the skies did not fall in. I did it deliberately when a question gave me a golden opportunity: "Why do some boys like to talk dirty in front of girls?" So I immediately twisted the thing around and said, "It depends on what you mean by talking dirty, and what the fellow means. I have actually heard the word "f—" used in a good and clean way. I have heard the word "intercourse" used in a dirty way. So, it depends on the motivation, hat you mean." Now, I didn't answer the original question, "Why do some boys like to talk dirty in front of girls?" That wasn't important to answer. But I did what I did deliberately to see what would happen, to see if anybody would be shook up. Nobody was."

Sex Education in the Schools [New York City: Harper and Row], 1967.

"Providing a breakdown of illegal abortions, Kinsey stated that 87% of induced abortions were performed by doctors and about 8% were self-induced, and these could be ignored and it would not change the overall illegal abortion picture."

Califa, Antonio (American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU))

"The ACLU believes that civil RICO's potential for chilling First Amendment rights of expression is enormous ... Congress should amend RICO, now ... Abortion clinic protestors are not racketeers, and should not be treated as if they are."

—: Quote by Antonio Califa of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) at the October 18, 1989 Conference on the Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organization (RICO) statutes at the Cato Institute. Also quoted by William Marshner. "Is RICO a Racket?" Family, Law & Democracy Report, November 1989, page 10.

Califia, Pat (lesbian author and activist)

"Boy-lovers and the lesbians who have young lovers are the only people offering a hand to help young women and men cross the difficult terrain between straight society and the gay community. They are not child molesters. The child abusers are priests, teachers, therapists, cops and parents who force their stale morality onto the young people in their custody. Instead of condemning pedophiles for their involvement with lesbian and gay youth, we should be supporting them."

—: Pat Califia, lesbian author and activist, The Advocate ['mainstream' homosexual magazine], October, 1980. This quote was downloaded from the Web site of the North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) at http://www.nambla.org on April 15, 1998, under the section entitled "What People Are Saying About NAMBLA and Man/Boy Love."

California Medicine

       "The reverence for each and every human life has been the keystone of Western medicine, and is the ethic which has caused physicians to try to preserve, protect, repair, prolong, and enhance every human life.
       "Since the old ethic has not yet been fully displaced, it has been necessary to separate the idea of abortion from the idea of killing, which continues to be socially abhorrent. The result has been a curious avoidance of the scientific fact, which everyone really knows, that human life begins at conception and is continuous whether intra- or extra-uterine until death. The very considerable semantic gymnastics which are required to rationalize abortion as anything but taking a human life would be ludicrous if they were not often put forth under socially impeccable auspices.
       "It is suggested that this schizophrenic sort of subterfuge is necessary because, while a new ethic is being accepted, the old one has not yet been fully rejected."

—: "A New Ethic for Medicine and Society." 113 California Medicine 67, 68 (1970).

Call to Action (dissenting group)

       "The movie Dead Man Walking was a bloomin' miracle. Like the virgin birth. It wasn't supposed to happen. ... My journey began with an awakening to the poor. An awakening to justice. Here at CTA [Call to Action], I don't have to awaken you to justice. ...
       "I haven't met the death row inmates that aren't human as we are. We create those stereotypes, so then it's easy to kill them. It's all about connection. When we don't connect with each other, we can kill each other, we can do anything. And the death penalty is just one more military solution to a social problem. All the dymanics are there: Target the enemy, dehumanize the enemy, terminate the enemy — whom we never see. ...
       "And I asked the Pope: Are we just for the dignity of the innocent? What about the guilty? I told him that when I talk to people who call themselves pro-life, they make a distinction. Pro-life means the innocent. The guilty deserve everything they get."

—: Helen Prejean, CSJ. "Dead Man Walking: The Journey." This was Prejean's opening address to the Call to Action National Conference in Milwaukee on November 3, 2000, and issued as a February-march 2001 Call to Action reprint [NOTE: Prejean's astounding hypocrisy becomes obvious when we learn that she is strongly pro-abortion, and that the second paragraph in the above quote applies perfectly to preborn children in danger of abortion as well as to those people under the death penalty. But in Prejean's world, there is plenty of compassion for killers and absolutely none for the innocent preborn].

Callahan, Daniel (Hastings Center)

"... a denial of nutrition may in the long run become the only effective way to make certain that a large number of biologically tenacious patients actually die. Given the increasingly large pool of superannuated, chronically ill, physically marginal elderly, it could well become the nontreatment of choice ... Our emerging problem is not just that of eliminating useless or wasteful treatment, but of limiting even efficacious treatment, because of its high cost. It may well turn out that what is best for each and every individual is not necessarily a societally affordable health care system."

—: 'Bioethicist' Daniel Callahan, Director of the Hastings Center. The Hastings Center Report, October 1983, page 22 [NOTE: Callahan's 1987 book Setting Limits proposed rationing medical treatment after a certain unspecified age].

Campbell, Alastair (President of the International Association of Bioethics (IAB))

"[The purpose of the IAB is] toleration of everything except intolerance. Oppose censorship, oppose dogmatism. But there are limits to toleration, the limits are the violent anti-abortionists of the United States — they are intolerable."

—: IAB President Alastair Campbell, during his November 3, 1998 opening address to the Fourth World Congress of the International Association of Bioethics (IAB) meeting in Tokyo. Quoted in Human Life International's November 6, 1998 Press Advisory, "Pro-Life Group Confronts Japanese Conference Agenda."

Canadian Abortion Rights Action League (CARAL)

"The Canadian Alliance has just elected a leader [Stockwell Day] who would favour state-sanctioned violence against women by forcing them to bear children they may not want and/or cannot care for, and thus be forced to give up for adoption."

—: Canadian Abortion Rights Action League (CARAL), July 10, 2000 press release. Quoted in "Feminists Define Right to Life for Unborn as "Violence." LifeSite Daily News at http://www.lifesite.net, July 18, 2000.

"[Women who seek abortions] do so for socio-economic reasons. Sometimes it is a desire to complete their education and become financially independent. In many cases, couples with children wish to restrict their family size in order to provide adequate financial support. Often, choosing abortion is a conscious decision not to become a socio-economic burden on society."

—: Marilyn Wilson, Executive Director of the Canadian Abortion Rights Action League (CARAL), in a submission to the House of Commons Finance Committee on October 31, 2001, quoted in "CARAL Admits Abortion Done For "Socio-Economic" Reasons." LifeSite Daily News at http://www.lifesite.net, November 1, 2001 [NOTE: Alliance Member of Parliament Jason Kenney, a Finance Committee member, said "This admission is significant from an organization that has always claimed that abortion is a 'medically necessary service.' CARAL has now blown the cover off its argument that provinces must finance a procedure which is not done for medical reasons"].

Cane, Manny

       "I will be bringing a lawsuit against you and all your colleagues. I have suffered PTSD for years after seeing your ilk's presentation of death in a church — a house of God no less. You will not be allowed to use your shock tactics on children any more. Your tax exempt status will be taken away. Your private lives will be researched. You will lose all your subsidy money.
       "Any group could just as easily start up and fly around brandishing pictures of children dying from malnutrition and neglect, all of which YOU are liable for, because you want to force the procreation of human life, and you do nothing to sustain that which already lives.
       "You are, in effect, guilty of manslaughter, neglect, gross negligence and illegal advertising tactics. You people have caused the death of millions all over the world.
       "The devil must certainly be pround [sic] of you all.
       "SHAME ON YOU!"

—: Rambling e-mail message from Manny Cane entitled "Keep your gore to yourself," sent to Gregg Cunningham's Center for Bioethical Reform on July 10, 2002. It seems that Cane was outraged by CBR's flying banners depicted aborted preborn babies. Cunningham's terse reply to Cane's threat was "Bring it on."

Cannibal Corpse (hard rock band)

"I was once a man before I transformed into this molester of freshly deceased children. You have been torn by rape. The dead are not safe, the lifeless child corpse I will violate. Pleasure from the dead, complete satisfaction. I open the coffin, sick thoughts run through my head as I stare at the dead. ... I begin the dead sex, licking the rotted orifice. I cum in her cold c—, shivering with ecstasy. For nine days straight I do the same."

"Left murdered and nameless, dead unburied and rotten, half eaten by insects. She was so beautiful I had to kill her. Tied her up, taped her mouth shut. Couldn't scream, raped violently. Rope tight, around her throat. Her body twitches as she chokes. Strangulation caused her death, just like all the others. Raped before and after death, stripped naked, tortured."

Caplan, Harvey (Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA))

"If, however, you have separated your sex and love needs ... then you could have a hundred partners and still be a perfect candidate for a good close relationship later on. So having multiple sexual partners in itself doesn't mean anything."

CARE (Cooperative for Assistance and Relief Everywhere)

"As long as there is a third world, there will never be one world. By meeting women's critical need for family planning services in the developing world, we would see a marked improvement in the quality of life for all. Access to voluntary contraception, health care and sex education would allow women to space pregnancies apart and plan the size of their families — leading to better health, more educational opportunities, and reduced pressure on our planet's natural resources.

Carhart, Leroy (partial-birth abortionist)

Question: "Are there times when you don't remove the fetus intact?"

Carhart: "Yes, sir."

Question: "Can you tell me about that, when that occurs?"

Carhart: "That occurs when the tissue fragments, or frequently when you rupture the membranes, an arm will spontaneously prolapse through the os [mouth of the uterus]. I think most ... statistically the most common presentation, we talk about the forehead or the skull being first. We talked about the feet being first, but I think in probably the great majority of terminations, it's what they world call a transverse lie, so really you're looking at a side profile of a curved fetus. When the patient ... the uterus is already starting to contract and they are starting to miscarry, when you rupture the waters, usually something prolapses through the uterine, through the cervical os, not always, but very often an extremity will."

Question: "What do you do then?"

Carhart: "My normal course would be to dismember that extremity and then go back and try to take the fetus out either foot or skull first, whatever end I can get to first."

Question: "How do you go about dismembering that extremity?"

Carhart: "Just traction and rotation, grasping the portion that you can get a hold of which would be usually somewhere up the shaft of the exposed portion of the fetus, pulling down on it through the os, using the internal os as your counter-traction and rotating to dismember the shoulder or the hip or whatever it would be. Sometimes you will get one leg and you can't get the other leg out."

Question: "In that situation, are you, when you pull on the arm and remove it, is the fetus still alive?"

Carhart: "Yes."

Question: "Do you consider an arm, for example, to be a substantial portion of the fetus?"

Carhart: "In the way I read it, I think if I lost my arm, that would be a substantial loss to me. I think I would have to interpret it that way."

Question: "And then what happens next after you remove the arm? You then try to remove the rest of the fetus?"

Carhart: "Then I would go back and attempt to either bring the feet down or bring the skull down, or even sometimes you bring the other arm down and remove that also and then get the feet down."

Question: "At what point is the fetus ... does the fetus die during that process?"

Carhart: "I don't really know. I know that the fetus is alive during the process most of the time because I can see fetal heartbeat on the ultrasound."

The Court: "Counsel, for what it's worth, it still is unclear to me with regard to the intact D&E when fetal demise occurs."

Question: "Okay, I will try to clarify that. In the procedure of an intact D&E where you would start foot first, with the situation where the fetus is presented feet first, tell me how you are able to get the feet out first."

Carhart: "Under ultrasound, you can see the extremities. You know what is what. You know what the foot is, you know, what the arm is, you know, what the skull is. By grabbing the feet and pulling down on it or by grabbing a knee and pulling down on it, usually you can get one leg out, get the other leg out and bring the fetus out. I don't know where this ... all the controversy about rotating the fetus comes from. I don't attempt to do that. I just attempt to bring out whatever is the proximal portion of the fetus."

Question: "At the time that you bring out the feet in this example, is the fetus still alive?"

Carhart: "Yes."

Question: "Then what's the next step you do?"

Carhart: "I didn't mention it. I should. I usually attempt to grasp the cord first and divide the cord, if I can do that."

Question: "What is the cord?"

Carhart: "The cord is the structure that transports the blood, both arterial and venous, from the fetus to the back to the fetus, and it gives the fetus its only source of oxygen, so that if you can divide the cord, the fetus will eventually die, but whether this takes five minutes or fifteen minutes and when that occurs, I don't think anyone really knows."

Question: "Are there situations where you don't divide the cord?"

Carhart: "There are situations when I can't."

Question: "What are those?"

Carhart: "I just can't get to the cord. It's either high above the fetus and structures where you can't reach up that far. The instruments are only 11 inches long."

Question: "Let's take the situation where you haven't divided the cord because you couldn't, and you have begun to remove a living fetus feet first. What happens next after you have gotten the feet removed?"

Carhart: "We remove the feet and continue with traction on the feet until the abdomen and the thorax came through the cavity. At that point, I would try ... you have to bring the shoulders down, but you can get enough of them outside, you can do this with your finger outside of the uterus, and then at that point the fetal ... the base of the fetal skull is usually in the cervical canal."

Question: "What do you do next?

Carhart: "And you can reach that, and that's where you would rupture the fetal skull to some extent and aspirate the contents out."

Question: "At what point in that process does fetal demise occur between initial remove ... removal of the feet or legs and the crushing of the skull, or I'm sorry, the decompressing of the skull?"

Carhart: "Well, you know, again, this is where I'm not sure what fetal demise is. I mean, I honestly have to share your concern, your Honor. You can remove the cranial contents and the fetus will still have a heartbeat for several seconds or several minutes, so is the fetus alive? I would have to say probably, although I don't think it has any brain function, so it's brain dead at that point."

Question: "So the brain death might occur when you begin suctioning out of the cranium?"

Carhart: "I think brain death would occur because the suctioning to remove contents is only two or three seconds, so somewhere in that period of time, obviously not when you penetrate the skull, because people get shot in the head and the don't die immediately from that. If they are going to die at all, so that probably is not sufficient to kill the fetus, but I think removing the brain contents eventually will."

—: July 1997 court testimony by partial-birth abortionist Leroy Carhart [NOTE: Later, under cross-examination from the attorney general's counsel, Carhart stated "My intent in every abortion I have ever done is to kill the fetus and terminate the pregnancy"].

"What I did was to provide tissue from the abortions that we do here to the university for use in their on-going research. ... I've done enough abortions that I don't feel I have to do any more to satisfy my ego. ... The biggest change of my life is travelling all over the country [promoting abortion]. I really love it. It's more fun than doing abortions."

"In the last quarter of a century, twenty percent of our buildings have been destroyed by arson and bombs. Terrorists have murdered our policemen and guards, as they tried to come to the aid of the innocent victims of the attacks. They have murdered nearly 0.2 percent of our community, in their homes, in front of their children and friends and at their places of work.
"Some mainstream religious groups support our domestic terrorists. While their religious leaders preach salvation, they fund terrorists to commit arson and murder. Like the September 11th terrorists, domestic terrorists live and work amongst us, as 'sleepers' in our communities. They send their children to our schools, they work out in our gyms and they live a 'normal' life while awaiting their assignments."

Carlson, Margaret (Time Magazine)

"Who has ever been punished more for adultery in this country? I mean, you have to go to Saudi Arabia to see people shamed the way the President was. And I think it was nobody's business."

—: Time's Margaret Carlson on NBC's "Today" show, August 19, 1998.

"Coming out on to the White House driveway on the day after he had violated all norms of privacy, he jauntily gave his trademark wave and his patented grin, one that doesn't involve eye movement, carrying himself as if he were President and as if there were a crowd of well-wishers rather than a ravenous camera crew awaiting him, as if he were on some high horse instead of on some low road. 'You cannot defile the temple of justice,' he has said in explaining his relentless pursuit of Clinton. But Starr did. As much as Clinton stained the dress, Starr stained the country to nail him for it. And his party goes on and on."

—: Time Magazine's Margaret Carlson, in an October 12, 1998 "Public Eye" column.

"She's ecumenical but prefers Italian and Mexican. The President fixes her eggs with jalapeno peppers on the weekends. One Christmas she served black beans and chili as part of a buffet. She carries Tabasco sauce wherever she goes. ... Valentine's Day at the Red Sage restaurant. Even at a romantic outing, the President can be the date from hell, talking to everyone but the girl he brung. ... Finally alone, they have 'painted soup' and the lamb baked in herbed bread. They exchange gifts and touch each other more in two hours than the Bushes did in four years."

—: Time Magazine reporter Margaret Carlson, in the June 1993 Vanity Fair.

"This is deregulation madness! We're gonna have dirty water, dirty air. OSHA regulations are being rolled back. There's gonna be no competition in the telecommunications industry. And between local cable and local phone, there's not gonna be competition at the present time. It's gonna take awhile and there's gonna be no regulation in the meantime. And so no, he [Clinton] can't go along with this. And the people, the public isn't going to go along with this. They don't want E. coli bacteria in their drinking water."

—: Time Magazine columnist Margaret Carlson, August 5, 1995 CNN's "Capital Gang."

"For the fourth time this year Washingtonians were warned to boil the drinking water because more than 10 percent of samples tested positive for bacteria. The warning was lifted late Thursday but not before thousands of people from all over the world, here to see the fireworks in the nation's capital, were treated to water that would embarrass a Third World country and Bob Novak. Maybe this is enough to get your Republicans bent on cutting spending for clean water to reconsider."

—: Time Magazine columnist Margaret Carlson, July 6, 1996 "Capital Gang."

"Republicans are betting that this too [Columbine] will pass, that as with Jonesboro and Paducah, Pearl and Springfield, once the white coffins are in the ground and the cameras gone, the outrage will subside. But maybe not this time. In town meetings and talk radio, the public has had its fill of politicians talking resignedly about our gun culture, as if there's nothing to be done about a subgroup that finds schoolyard massacres an acceptable cost for its right to be armed to the teeth."

—: Time Magazine columnist Margaret Carlson, May 10, 1999 issue.

"If his private life is shaped by his love for children and stepchildren, his public one is still shaped by his concern for the little guy, the one who parks your car, rings the cash register at the convenience store, catches the early bus. As he left town he was trying to expand health care, and when he comes back from burying his nephew, he will be fighting to raise the minimum wage."

—: Time Magazine columnist Margaret Carlson on Ted Kennedy, August 2, 1999 issue.

"The vocabulary has changed so that tax cuts now look like irresponsible spending and spending on investments and education and Medicare looks like the responsible thing to do because if I get $100 back, I can't go fix a school or clean a river, and people are more interested in these things than they are in the tax cut, and the poll numbers, you know, don't explain this. I mean the only thing that could explain this love of tax cuts is a lowered IQ."

Carrera, Michael

"Although Catholic teaching on abortion has shifted through the centuries, the current position is clear: abortion is murder. This position has been fixed since 1869, when Pope Pius IX reinstituted the doctrine that the soul enters the body at the moment of conception; from that moment on, the fetus is therefore a person. Furthermore, because the fetus has a soul, it must be baptized in order to remove original sin. Catholics therefore believe that not only is abortion murder, but it also condemns the unborn person to Hell."

—: Michael Carrera. Sex: The Facts, The Acts, and Your Feelings [New York City: Crown Books], 1981, page 290 [NOTE: Carrera calls himself 'Catholic,' yet makes at least nine major doctrinal errors in his short one-paragraph quote. In fact, this self-proclaimed "expert" does not make a single correct statement in this widely-circulated passage. It is frightening to realize that uninformed people look to trash like this for clarification of the official teachings of the Catholic Church!]

Carroll, Devin (Humanist writer)

"From a humanist point of view, moral codes which teach that sex is shameful, at least outside of marriage, are unfair to adolescents. Forcing them to suppress and feel guilty about their natural sex drive is a perversion. One of the basic rules of humanist ethics is that life is supposed to be fun. If teenagers can enjoy sex without hurting themselves or other people, then it is good for them. ... Traditionally, sex is sinful outside of marriage and nearly obligate within. Humanists cannot accept such a simplistic code of conduct without sound reasons, which I haven't seen yet. ... This is what we should tell our children: sex helps people to fall in love, and, if you are not prepared to love someone, you should be wary of having sex together. ... I feel a little sad when someone turns thirty — married or unmarried — without having experienced the pleasures of a loving, sexual relationship."

Carroll, James (former Catholic priest)

"I assumed that the church would soon take into account the voices of its own experts and of the noncelibate laity, inevitably to withdraw the misguided prohibition [Humanae Vitae]. I was wrong. I went on to be ordained, knowing I would never preach that birth control is intrinsically sinful. The issue quickly stopped being birth control and became church authority. Priests, bishops, and the pope entered into a corrupting, if implicit agreement with the Catholic people. It said, in effect, that you can ignore this teaching, and we will ignore your ignoring it, but church authority must not be openly challenged. ... This arrangement has been a disaster for the Catholic Church. The hypocrisy involved destroyed the capacity of many men to remain in the priesthood. I myself left for other reasons, later to understand how Humanae Vitae was key to all that undercut my vocation. Over the years, I wondered what it would take for the hierarchy to face the mistake they'd made, and undo it. Would they sacrifice a legion of good priests for Humanae Vitae? Yes. Would they put the Catholic people in bad conscience for Humanae Vitae? Yes. Would they ignore overpopulation and the link between high birth rates and female dispossession? Yes. Would they make abortion more likely by increasing unwanted pregnancies? Yes. Would they, through all of this, destroy their own standing as reliable moral teachers for Humanae Vitae? Yes.
"But another far more deadly question has come to put itself to the authorities of the Catholic Church. Would they cling to their unequivocal condemnation of birth control, including any use of condoms, while millions are dying of AIDS? And so far, to the shame of every Catholic — to our anguish and anger — the answer even here is yes. Humanae Vitae has long been a foundation stone of what Garry Wills calls the "structure of deceit," and he has analyzed its corruption more clearly than anyone. But now on Humanae Vitae rests what must be called the church's structure of death. ..."

Carville, James

Catholic Renewal Movement of England and Wales (CRM)

       "... Too often, for devout Catholics, the only solution to their difficulties has been prolonged abstinence from sexual intercourse. In other words, two people who have given themselves to each other for life because they love each other, try desperately not to make love for months, sometimes years, on end. This does nobody any good, and may even lead to a serious breakdown in the marriage.
       "So what are Catholic couples to do, faced with this conflict? Many have decided to follow their own consciences, and to use whatever method of contraception seems most effective and acceptable. They do not feel that this goes against their Catholic faith. Some of them have produced this leaflet to help those still in difficulties with some basic facts and constructive advice.
       "First of all, contraception is not against the Catholic faith. Our Lord said nothing about it, and the Church has never made an infallible ruling on the subject. ... That letter [Humanae Vitae] deserves serious and respectful attention, but, as the Pope's own spokesmen have made clear, it is not infallible. It does not require blind obedience. Hundreds of well-qualified and responsible Catholics around the world, including bishops, priests, doctors and theologians, have plainly expressed their disagreement with the Pope, and have urged Catholics to make their own conscientious decision in this very private matter.
       "Let us be quite clear. No-one positively likes using contraceptives. ... We certainly have no wish to unsettle the peace of mind of those Catholics who accept the teaching of Humanae Vitae. But if you have not found such peace, and are dissatisfied with the help given by the Catholic Marriage Advisory Council, our advice is this: go to your doctor or to the Family Planning Association (you will find the address of your local Branch or clinic in the telephone book). The doctor with whom you discuss family planning will explain the various methods of contraception available and help you to choose the one that suits you best. The service is confidential and the cost is small.
       "Make your decision, get the help you need, then stop worrying. There is no need to consult a priest or to mention the matter in confession. Continue going to Mass and Holy Communion. There is nothing to fear. Our Lord asks us to love one another — our husbands and wives, our children, and our fellow-men — and we have a human right and duty to order our lives accordingly."

This is all based upon the survey data ... School-based clinics have no measurable impact on teen pregnancy rates ... In the absence of knowledge of whether or not young women are getting abortions, we really can't say whether or not the school clinic program is preventing pregnancy.

Chalker, Rebecca (Neofeminist author)

        "Women who do menstrual extraction consider it and other home health-care techniques to be completely legal, since an individual woman or a group of women cannot make a medical diagnosis of pregnancy; in fact, they are not attempting to do so. Therefore, they would not have the necessary intent required to constitute a criminal act of abortion.
       "In the past, women often got abortions by faking a miscarriage, claiming waves of cramps, fainting episodes (the more dramatic the better), and exhibiting blood on their underwear or clothes. Today, however, due to advances in sonography ... getting an abortion because of a threatened miscarriage isn't as easy as it used to be. Nonetheless, a sympathetic doctor may be won over by convincing signs of a miscarriage, and may be willing to "finish it," especially in rural or isolated areas ...
       "... sympathetic doctors readily used any excuse, no matter how flimsy, to do what came in late pre-Roe days to be called "therapeutic abortions.""
       "If women are injured or die trying to abort unwanted pregnancies because safe, legal facilities are outlawed, the blame rests not with them or with those trying to help them. It rests squarely on the shoulders of the religious right, on state legislatures that have passed regressive abortion restrictions, and on the U.S. Supreme Court, which has chosen to limit access to safe abortion facilities."

"The phenomenon that perhaps best exposes the underlying hypocrisy of the anti-abortion movement is the very common occurrence of women who profess to be staunchly anti-abortion yet show up on the doorsteps of clinics as clients. Variations on this theme include men who accompany their daughters, wives, or girlfriends to the same clinics they regularly picket, and female anti-abortion activists who lay down their picket signs long enough to get their own abortions.
"These women can still get their abortions, but if we see them back on the picket lines, we reserve the right to release their names to the media," says [Sylvia] Stengle. "This makes them think twice about their decision ... Female anti-abortion activists who get abortions are the dirty little secret of the anti-abortion movement."

—: Rebecca Chalker and Carol Downer. A Woman's Book of Choices: Abortion, Menstrual Extraction, RU-486 [New York City: Four Walls Eight Windows Press], 1992, pages 28 and 32 [NOTE: This negative propaganda, of course, attempts to make pro-lifers appear to be "inconsistent;" i.e., that their actions belie their words. Would Chalker and Downer really have the public believe that some people are so schizophrenic that they would picket an abortionist and then use his services? Anyone with an IQ approaching that of asparagus will be able to see through their transparent propaganda. Pro-abortionists commonly gripe that many women are forced to travel long distances just to protect their privacy when they abort. It therefore makes no sense at all that "pro-life women" would "very commonly" just "lay down their picket signs long enough to get their own abortions"].

"During the interview, [for abortion] weep, show anger, fear, disgust, outright destructiveness of your clothing or small objects, say, the ashtray on his desk which can be broken on the floor or against a wall. Don't overdo this. You will be billed for the broken things later! Don't break the doctor's head. This is a "no-no" ... How's your attention span? ... You can't seem to concentrate on anything for more than a couple of minutes ... Drop sly hints that you are "attracted" to many strange men sexually. Be dull and very sad. Cry a bit. Just sit in silence, and make him repeat questions as though you hadn't heard a word ... And now for the Manic Scene: Just like the opera, ladies! Brighten up, beam like a sunrise ... let your thoughts gallop wildly ... your speech flows like the Danube in flood time ... you might try taking off your shoes, kicking them all the way across his office, wriggling your toes. Then say, "That feels so good, I think I'll take everything off ... (musingly). ... Another pre-Roe standby that many women employed successfully was threatening or feigning suicide."

"The fact is that most government spending cannot be cut. The way out of the mess is for the government to raise some money through taxes and at last that's being done.

Any family already having two or more natural children on that date shall not be allowed to give birth to another. Toward this end, it is hereby lawfully determined that all Americans above the age of 10 years will, at least one year prior to the aforementioned date, present himself/herself for reversible immunization against fertility at a local county health department or physician's office. An official "Certificate of Immunization" shall be issued to and in the name of each citizen so treated. Said certification shall be signed by the authorized medical practitioner who administers the immunization, and shall be entered into the official records of the county in which immunization occurred. After marriage, any citizen may present himself/herself at a local county health department or physician's office and obtain a fertility restorer. At the birth of the second child, immunity against fertility shall be readministered to both parents.

We must come to see that it is the duty of the government to protect women against pregnancy as it protects them against job discrimination and smallpox, and for the same reason — the public good. No longer can we tolerate the doctrinaire position that the number of children a couple has is a strictly private decision. ... Such laws would serve not only to defuse the population bomb, but also to protect first-born children against too prolific reproduction by their parents."

Chicago Filmmakers

In 1990, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) gave a grant to Chicago Filmmakers, which put on a radical anti-life show entitled "Rattle Your Rage." This included a post entitled "Sister Serpent F—s a Fetus," which had a heading that said "For all you folks who consider a fetus more valuable than a woman, have a fetus cook for you, have a fetus affair, go to a fetus' house to ease your sexual frustration."

"In her Wednesday 'Commentary' page column, Linda Bowles stated that President Clinton and his former campaign adviser Dick Morris both were 'guilty of callous unfaithfulness to their wives and children.' Neither man has admitted to being or been proven to have been unfaithful. The Tribune regrets the error."

Chittister, Joan (dissenter)

"The church can't be holy while it makes lepers of those who are other than the religious or sexual norm, while being male, white, Western and Christian makes some of us better than others who are poor whimpering, sniveling handmaidens. ... The church must listen to the feminist perspective of the globe, the globe which is starved and persecuted and bleeding from male theology and male structures. There is not much time or life left. This is far too clear to debate, as every scientist knows. We must forget episcopal authority in favor of service. ... The church can't be Catholic until it is an inclusive, sacramental church where God is not held hostage to sexism. What sexism says about God is heresy; that God goes powerless in the face of a woman, that femaleness is the only material that God can't use. ... There are pink and blue souls and the pink souls leak. The sacraments are evaporating because of sexism. Faced with a choice between maleness and sacraments, the church has chosen maleness. The new golden calf is unmarried men. There is no vocation shortage, only a shortage of celibate males. ... The church can't be apostolic while it produces new editions of the Syllabus of Errors, threatening regularly now to slow the ecumenical gospel, telling women 'don't even think about it,' swearing theologians to loyalty and saying it can't change its mind . ..."

—: Joan Chittister, quoted in Fidelity [Australia], December 1997, page 31.

"A spirituality that listens only to the spiritual wisdom of some, but not of all, to men but not to women, is no spirituality at all. It is simply the ecclesiastical offshoot of a sinful system. ... Clearly, it is precisely a woman's experience of God that this world lacks. God the lawgiver, God the judge, God the omnipotent being has consumed western spirituality, and, in the end, shriveled its heart and swallowed its soul. ... Feminist spirituality points us towards a contemporary spirituality, a new world view: it is a cry for wholeness in a world and a church intent on division and domination, on power rather than on perspective. ... The values driving western society, the social psychologist Stanley Rothman tells us, are profit, persona] comfort, exploitation, control, individualism and dominance — all of them a blueprint for disaster, all of them hallmarks of a patriarchal culture where differences lead to dualism, to norming, to measuring, to excluding, to counting. ... The ostracism of women as a class from public policy and the long-time elimination of women from the theological development of the western world has limited the vision of the world. It makes discrimination generic. It entombs half the people of the world. Clearly, it is a feminist spirituality — a heart of flesh — that we need if the church is to survive. More than that, my friends: if the planet is to survive."

"The strict Judeo-Christian codes inherited from the past, in which chastity is prescribed, are being challenged. Rational enquiry is replacing blind faith. ... This newer, relativistic position on sexual morality is a rational one, backed up by research ... this is the approach that seems to offer the most hope for consensus under modern conditions. ... Today the significance of such sexual expression as youthful erotic play, masturbation, homosexuality between consenting adults, mouth-genital contacts, and other variations from genital heterosexuality is being re-examined in the light of new knowledge."

Christian Women's Collective (CWC, dissenting group)

"As women and as members of the Catholic Church, we cannot remain silent, nor shut our eyes and our hearts to the two million women who have clandestine abortions each year in Mexico [NOTE: The article says that Mexico has a population of 80 million. This means that CFFC is alleging that Mexico has an abortion rate more than four times higher than in the United States. Naturally, CFFC provides no documentation for this number]. ... Along with this moral punishment, there is the high risk that these women may lose their lives: 150,000 to 200,000 women die each year worldwide as a result of illegal abortions [NOTE: Once again, CFFC is merely parroting the number given by other pro-abortion organizations. See Chapter 7 of The Facts of Life on Human Life International's Pro-Life Library Compact Disc entitled "Maternal Deaths Due to Abortion," which proves that the number of women who die worldwide of illegal abortion is less than 3,000]. ... We consider it necessary to depenalize abortion so that women with their partners, may decide, freely and responsibly, without the pressures of punishment, weighing abortion as a last resort, an option that is remote but possible, not a privileged one, neither the only option nor an obligatory one [NOTE: Here CFFC says abortion should be a "last resort," after quoting wildly inflated figures proving that it is anything but a last resort]. ... Human dignity therefore requires a man [or woman] to act according to his [or her] conscience and free will, that is, moved and drawn by internal, personal conviction and not by blind inner impulse or mere external coercion. (Gaudium et Spes, 17) [NOTE: This is an appropriate quotation, but not for the reason CFFC would like: Gaudium et Spes [¶17] begins by saying "Only in freedom can man direct himself toward goodness. Our contemporaries make much of this freedom and pursue it eagerly; and rightly to be sure. Often however they foster it perversely as a license for doing whatever pleases them, even if it is evil"].

Chua-Eoan, Howard G. (Time Magazine)

"There is a 'logic' too to Dahmer's crime. Raised in a culture that condoned racial prejudice and despised homosexuals, Dahmer appeared to believe he could preserve a place in mainstream society — with all its furtive hopes of family, friends, and future — by destroying the evidence of his homosexuality. He killed his 'lovers' — mostly blacks — dismembered them, and in some cases, may have devoured their remains. Crime is a logical, if messy, quick fix to the shortcomings of society. Is that the lesson then? That we get the criminals our societies deserve? Yes, of course."

Connie Chung: "In formerly communist Bulgaria, the cost of freedom has been virtual economic disaster. Peter Van Sant reports."

Peter Van Sant: "Thousands of socialists rally in Sofia, Bulgaria. It may look like a rally from communism's glory years, but it's not. It's an expression of frustration, a longing for the bad old days when liberty was scarce but at least everybody had a job."

—: CBS Evening News, December 29, 1991.

"The nation's unemployment rate fell a tenth of one percent in March to 5.6 percent. That's the lowest it's been since May of 1979. But this low unemployment rate is not entirely good news. Fewer people are looking for work."

"Inefficient as the old communist economy was, it did provide jobs of a sort for everybody and a steady, if meager, supply of basic goods at low, subsidized prices; Soviet citizens for more than 70 years were conditioned to expect that from their government.

Cinema Arts Review

"A powerful drama of gay love flourishing under the repression of prison and the Catholic Church. ... The lilies ["male prisoners so beautiful that they must be segregated from the general prison population for their own safety"] have cooked up a surprise for stuffy old Catholic bishop Bilodeau, who, lured to hear a dying inmate's last confession, is instead trapped in the prison confessional and forced to watch a re-enactment of his own youth, when he was involved in a steamy love triangle with two other 18-year old boys. ...

Clift, Eleanor (Newsweek Magazine)

"Okay, Democrats are certainly not without blame. But I believe the S&L crisis lands right at the Republican door. It was the magic of the marketplace that took off the regulations. ... Oh, Ronald Reagan and the magic of the marketplace was the theme of the '80s. Greed in this country is associated with Ronald Reagan."

"I don't think voting for Clinton makes you a liberal. I mean, Bill Clinton isn't even a liberal, and second, if you're liberal, does that mean you can't be fair? What hypocrisy that we sit around and talk about the press like it's some sort of 'they.' It's us. Are we too liberal? No. ... The bias is in favor of bad news and you go after whoever is in power, and the name of the game is kill the king, which is why Bill Clinton does not get a free ride."

—: Newsweek Magazine's Eleanor Clift on The McLaughlin Group, July 5, 1997.

"If you look at the people who served on that [Republican] platform committee, they were a group of the most intolerant human beings that could ever be collected."

—: Newsweek Magazine Washington reporter Eleanor Clift on the 1992 GOP platform, at a University of Pennsylvania forum broadcast by C-SPAN, December 4, 1992.

"Bill Clinton evoked sympathy and understanding by acknowledging marital problems on the famous 60 Minutes interview. His wife is too dignified for confessionals, but she could benefit from admitting that she, too, has occasionally yielded to temptation and made the wrong choices. The public might even be tickled to discover that the prim and preachy First Lady has a gambler's streak. Hillary's brief fling in commodities was possibly reckless, but it shows a glimmering of a more credible, if more flawed, human being."

"Yes, the President should resign. He has lied to the American people, time and time again, and betrayed their trust. Since he has admitted guilt, there is no reason to put the American people through an impeachment. He will serve absolutely no purpose in finishing out his term, the only possible solution is for the president to save some dignity and resign."

Clinton, Hillary

"Women should have the right to health care that will enable them to go safely through pregnancy and childbirth and provide them with the best chance of having a healthy infant. Women and men must also have the right to make those most intimate of all decisions free of discrimination, coercion and violence, particularly any coercive practices that force women into abortions or sterilizations ... It is a violation of human rights when babies are denied food or drowned or suffocated or their spines broken, simply because they are born girls ..."

This happily-volatilized mass of the saved were born again in Jesus Christ. Everybody left behind will basically go to Hell, but not before experiencing Armageddon, which is a really bad end of the world. If you find yourself in this situation, there isn't much you can do except one, starve yourself, and two, get your head cut off. This loving Christmas message coming as it did amid the jingle of the mall Santa and the twinkling manger at the corner of Canal and the Ramparts made it clear that the Rapture is indeed necessary.

Concern [Compassion] for Dying (CFD) (pro-euthanasia group)

"You are right when you say that our people believe rational suicide to be acceptable — our position is that individuals make their own decisions and that those decisions should be honored by others.

Constantine, Larry L.

"Few commentators have considered the role of erotica portraying minors, which may represent the only acceptable outlet for the sexual preferences of the pedophiliacs and, as such, may be a substitute for actual child molestation.

The natural conclusion from a radical perspective is that children have the right to express themselves sexually even with members of their own families.
