Eagan, Margery (Boston Herald columnist)

"Clearly the Catholic Church needs better public relations. It needs someone to tell those who got beaten up by nuns, those who have had abortions, those who are continually embarrassed by a hierarchy's anti-gay rhetoric, or are just plain uninformed that it's not all about a hierarchy anymore. That in the pews, despite what you read, it's not endless harangues against sex, women; sex gays; sex birth control; sex, sex and more sex."

—: Columnist Margery Eagan, Boston Herald, May 7, 2000. Described in Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights. 2000 Report on Anti-Catholicism, available on-line at the Catholic League's Web site here.

Early Options (Brooklyn abortion mill)

"It might help you to know that if you are in the early stages of pregnancy, you are not yet carrying a fetus or baby. In fact, if it has been less than 7 weeks since your last period, your pregnancy consists of nothing visible to the eye except a tiny, empty sac in your uterus. By 8 to 9 weeks, your pregnancy is the size of a pea."

—: Pro-abortion propaganda from a Web site called "Making Your Decision," run by Early Options, a Brooklyn abortion mill, quoted in Holly Auer. "Rhetoric From Both Sides Muddles Decision Process." Buffalo News, November 27, 2002 [NOTE: The above lies are so blatant that even another abortionist "kind of" condemned them, while at the same time excusing them. Abortionist William Harrison of Fayetteville, Arkansas, who serves as an adviser to the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, said "I don't agree with it, and I don't think it's right. But I do think they have the best interest of the patient in mind"].

Earth Day

"Unless there is a major shift in the rate in which policy is developed or changed, it's likely that we are simply not going to make it ... It's not very far off before the problems are so big that it's almost beyond our capacity to recover ... We are in a sense, or should be, at war with our life-styles and that is something we've never had to face with our species before."

—: Biologist Thomas Lovejoy, a director of Earth Day 1990, at a conference on the global environment at the Smithsonian Institution which was sponsored by the Carnegie, Ford and Rockefeller foundations. Quoted in Gary Benoit. "The Greatest Sham on Earth." The New American, March 26, 1990, pages 7 to 12.

"Some economists and analysts argue that, if we continue consuming resources as we are now, the only way to bring about a balance between demand and supply will be through authoritarian controls."

—: Lawrence Rockefeller, President of the American Conservation Association and an Earth Day 1990 Director, in a February 1976 article in Reader's Digest. Quoted in Gary Benoit. "The Greatest Sham on Earth." The New American, March 26, 1990, pages 7 to 12.

Edwards, Judge Mildred M.

"Tremendous violence was done to you when the Body of Christ was denied to you. As a member of your church, I ask you to forgive the church. ... Go in peace."

—: Judge Mildred M. Edwards, quoted in Arthur Santana. "Judge Declines To Sentence 3 Catholic Gay Activists." Washington Post, January 31, 2003, page B01 [NOTE: Ken Einhaus of Arlington, Mike Perez of Seattle and Kara Speltz of Oakland, all members of the homosexual group Soulforce, were trying to make a political statement using the Body of Christ as a mere tool when they were protesting at the District of Columbia Hyatt Regency on November 12, 2002. The day before, a priest had refused them Holy Communion at the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception because they were not receiving Communion as a sign of faith, but as a political statement. The three homosexuals were charged and convicted of unlawful entry, but Edwards (who claims to be Catholic) refused to give them any sentence at all, showing how pro-homosexual judges twist the law to suit their own purposes (you can bet your life that Edwards would throw the book at anyone who tried to disrupt a homosexual meeting). The three homosexuals sniveled that they were "emotionally shattered" by the refusal of Communion at the Basilica and went to the hotel to "find healing among the people who caused me so much suffering," according to Einhaus].

Ehrenreich, Barbara (Time Magazine)

"Quite apart from blowing up clinics and terrorizing patients, the anti-abortion movement can take credit for a more subtle and lasting kind of damage: It has succeeded in getting even pro-choice people to think of abortion as a "moral dilemma," an "agonizing decision," and related code phrases for something murky and compromising, like the traffic in infant formula mix. In liberal circles, it has become unstylish to discuss abortion without using words like "complex," "painful," and the rest of the mealy-mouthed vocabulary of evasion. Regrets are also fashionable, and one otherwise feminist author writes recently of mourning, each year following her birthday, the putative birthday of her discarded fetus. I cannot speak of other women, of course, but the one regret I have about my own abortions is that they cost money that might otherwise have been spent on something more pleasurable, like taking the kids to movies and theme parks ..."

"The Communist Manifesto is well worth the $12 that Verso is asking. Despite the hype, its message is a timeless one that bears repeating every century or so: The meek shall triumph and the mighty shall fall; the hungry and exhausted will get restless and someday — someday! — rise up against their oppressors. The prophet Isaiah said something like this, and so, a little more recently, did Jesus."

—: Time Magazine columnist Barbara Ehrenreich in an April 30, 1998 book review for the Web site "Salon."

"There is an understandable reluctance on the part of many women to venture into a building already occupied by Jesse Helms or Bob Dornan, a building that was designed, for all we know, without a single ladies' room in the floor plan. Plus there has been the chilling effect of male politicos like former Republican Party chairman Clayton Yeutter, who reportedly addressed a high-powered donor as 'little lady' and inquired as to whom she 'belonged to' — thus sending a generation of Republican women out to join militantly separatist rural communes."

—: Time Magazine essayist Barbara Ehrenreich, June 22, 1992.

"In many ways, in outlook and behavior the U.S. has begun to act like a primitive warrior culture. We seem to believe that leadership is expressed, in no small part, by a willingness to cause the deaths of others. ... Our collective fantasies center on mayhem, cruelty, and violent death. Loving images of the human body — especially of bodies seeking pleasure or expressing love — inspire us with the urge to censor."

—: Time Magazine essayist Barbara Ehrenreich, October 15, 1990.

Ehrens, Pamela

"Most feminists, predictably, can't stand them [pro-life women]. Anti-abortion feminist groups have been banned from ERA rallies, rebuffed in their attempts to join consortiums of women's groups, and forbidden to meet in campus women's centers. The rift has been present since the earliest days of the women's movement. Pat Goltz, the member of Ohio NOW who founded FFL in 1972, was asked and then forced to give up her NOW membership because of her anti-abortion activities. NOW's president Molly Yard says that she would meet the same fate today. "I don't know how someone can be a feminist if she's not for a woman's right to her own life," she says. Seventeen years later, seven-term congresswoman Mary Rose Oakar of Ohio is consistently refused endorsement by women's organizations because she opposes abortion, even though she has been a leading supporter of the ERA, pay equity, and aid for poor and elderly women."

Ehrlich, Paul (Zero Population Growth (ZPG) founder and population controller)

"It has been concluded that mandatory population control laws, even those requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under our existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently compelling to endanger the society. Many consider the situation already serious enough to justify some forms of compulsion. ... A massive campaign must be launched to restore a quality environment in North America and to de-develop the United States.""

"We must cut out the cancer of population growth. Coercion? Perhaps, but coercion in a good cause [population control] ... We must be relentless in pushing for population control."

"[China's coercive population-control program is] remarkably vigorous and effective [and China should be acknowledged] as a leader in a grand experiment in the management of population and natural resources."

—: Zero Population Growth (ZPG) founder Paul Ehrlich. National Geographic Magazine, December 1988, page 922.

"Many of my colleagues feel that some sort of compulsory birth regulation would be necessary to achieve such control. One plan often mentioned involves the addition of temporary sterilants to the water supplies or staple food. Doses of antidote would be carefully rationed by the government to produce the desired population size. ... A Federal Department of Population and Environment (DPE) should be set up with power to take whatever steps are necessary to establish a reasonable population size in the United States and to put an end to the steady deterioration of our environment. The DPE would be given ample funds to support research in the areas of population control and environmental quality. In the first area it would promote intensive investigation of new techniques of birth control, possibly leading to the development of mass sterilizing agents such as were discussed above."

"CONFIDENTIAL
DEPARTMENT OF POPULATION AND ENVIRONMENT
FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT
JANUARY 1, 2000

"The 1999 midyear population of the United States of North America was estimated to be 22.6 million, with a standard error of 3.2 million. ... If present trends continue, the population will cease to decline early in 2001, and a slow rise in population size may be expected to commence thereafter. ... The Division of Optimum Population is expected to recommend next year a program target of a stable population of thirty-two million by 2075. ... The consequences of the release of radioactivity in the 1981 reactor disaster at the Seaborg plant, combined with the overall increase in environmental radioactivity permitted before the Gofman-Tamplin Act of 1976 restricted emissions, are still causing serious repercussions in our population. The leukemia rate is still 740 percent higher than the 1960 base rate, and that of chondrodystopic dwarfism is now 890 percent of base. ... It is encouraging that surviving molecular biologists and human geneticists are now relocated, and that research and training are proceeding as well as can be expected. ... It is clear that lowered population density is a primary factor in preventing a resurgence of Marburgvirus B. Another factor is the recovery of the average diet to 2400 calories per day, and the increase of the high quality protein ration to almost forty grams daily. Famine has been estimated to have been directly or indirectly responsible for sixty-five American deaths in the decade 1980-1989 ... the Great Die-Off has resulted in a population much less weakened by circulatory and respiratory diseases ... Remember that although about 125 million American deaths were attributed to Marburgvirus B during the Great Die-Off, it is clear that as many as sixty million of these would not have occurred if the population had not been weakened by environmental deterioration. ... Small population size, and continued availability of salvageable materials in Los Angeles and other cities which have not been reoccupied, have greatly eased the pressure on our reserves of non-renewable resources. ... Whether or not weather patterns will eventually return to those of the early part of the Twentieth Century cannot be determined at this time.

MAJOR RECOMMENDATIONS

1.
The continuation of present pronatalist policies will be necessary for the foreseeable future. It is important, however, that the public be continually reminded that the fundamental role of this [Population] Department is not to encourage population growth, but to regulate the size of the population for all our citizens. The public should be prepared for the institution of anti-natalist policies whenever conditions require them.
2.
The Congress should immediately ratify the population convention of the United Nations World System Treaty. ...

The [Population] Department urges you to remind our citizens that all of the trends leading to disaster were clear twenty years before the end came, and that we and the rest of mankind did nothing substantive to avert it. As a single example, the vulnerability of the world population to epidemic disease, due to large population size (overcrowding), hunger, and environmental deterioration was repeatedly pointed out by scientists. ... The cost of inaction, apathy, and unwarranted optimism has been the payment of nearly four billion human lives over a fifteen year period — and we are still paying. Mr. President, it is imperative that this generation and those to follow be kept mindful of mankind's recent history."

—: Paul R. Ehrlich, founder of Zero Population Growth (ZPG). "Looking Backward from 2000 A.D." The Progressive, April 1970, pages 23 to 28.

       "The end of the ocean came late in the summer of 1979. ... DDT and similar chlorinated hydrocarbons had polluted the entire surface of the earth, including the sea.
       "But that was only the first of many signs. There had been the final gasp of the whaling industry in 1973, and the end of the Peruvian anchovy fishery in 1975. ... Eco-catastrophes in the sea became increasingly common in the early 1970's. ... Most ocean fishes that returned to fresh water to breed, like the salmon, had become extinct. ... Local famine persisted in northern India. ... East Pakistan was next, followed by a resurgence of general famine in northern India. Other foci of famine rapidly developed in Indonesia, the Philippines, Malawi, the Congo, Egypt, Colombia, Ecuador, Honduras, the Dominican Republic and Mexico. Everywhere hard realities destroyed the illusion of the Green Revolution. ... The governments now knew that the basic cause of the problems had been exacerbated by the dullness, daydreaming, and cupidity endemic to all governments. They knew that only population control and limited development aimed primarily at agriculture could have spared them the horrors they now faced. ... Starting in Youngstown, Ohio in 1969 and followed closely by Richmond, California, community after community was forced to close its schools or curtail educational operations for lack of funds. Water supplies, already marginal in quality and quantity in many places by 1970, deteriorated quickly. Water rationing occurred in 1723 municipalities in the summer of 1974, and hepatitis and epidemic dysentery rates climbed about 500 per cent between 1970-1974. ... suddenly our citizens were faced with nearly 200,000 corpses and massive documentation that they could be the next to die from respiratory disease. ... the U.N. conference had not predicted that accumulated air pollution would make the planet uninhabitable until almost 1990. ... Americans born since 1946 (when DDT usage began) now had a life expectancy of only 49 years, and predicted that if current patterns continued, this expectancy would reach 42 years by 1980. ... Suddenly the United States discovered that it had a national consensus: population control was the only possible salvation of the underdeveloped world.
       "Those who opposed population controls for the U.S. were equally vociferous. The military-industrial complex, with its all-too-human mixture of ignorance and avarice, still saw strength and prosperity in numbers. Baby food magnates. ... saw their market disappearing. Steel manufacturers saw a decrease in aggregate demand and slippage for that holy of holies, the Gross National Product. And military men saw, in the growing population-food-environment crisis, a serious threat to their carefully nurtured Cold War. In the end, of course, economic arguments held sway, and the "inalienable right of every American couple to determine the size of its family," a freedom invented for the occasion in the early '70s, was not compromised. ...
       "A pretty grim scenario. Unfortunately, we're a long way into it already. Everything mentioned as happening before 1970 has actually occurred; much of the rest is based on projections of trends already appearing. ... Western society is in the process of completing the rape and murder of the planet for economic gain. ... Both worldwide plague and thermonuclear war are made more probable as population growth continues. These, along with famine, make up the trio of potential "death rate solutions" to the population problems — solutions in which the birth rate-death rate imbalance is redressed by a rise in the death rate rather than by lowering of the birth rate. Make no mistake about it, the imbalance will be redressed. ... Man is not only running out of food, he is also destroying the life support systems of the Spaceship Earth. ..."

Playboy Magazine: "What is the maximum population the world could support without environmental damage?"

Paul Ehrlich: "It's difficult to determine the ideal population. There probably is no such static figure, but many scientists think the population of the United States could eventually be reduced to well under 50,000,000 and that of the world to an absolute maximum of 500,000,000."

—: Paul Ehrlich, founder of Zero Population Growth (ZPG), in an interview in the August 1970 issue of Playboy Magazine. In Population: A Clash of Prophets (edited by Edward Pohlman) [New York City: Mentor Books], 1973, page 17.

       "The battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the 1970's the world will undergo famine — hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now. At this late date nothing can prevent a substantial increase in the world death rate. ... We must have population control at home, hopefully through a system of incentives and penalties, but by compulsion if voluntary methods fail. ... We can no longer afford merely to treat the symptoms of the cancer of population growth; the cancer itself must be cut out. Population control is the only answer [prologue] . ... A minimum of three and a half million people will starve to death this year [1968], mostly children. But this is a mere handful compared to the numbers that will be starving in a decade or so. And it is now too late to take action to save many of those people [page 17]. ... Our first step must be to immediately establish and advertise drastic policies designed to bring our own population size under control. We must define a goal of a stable optimum population size for the United States ... and move rapidly toward that goal. ... we also are going to have to adopt some very tough foreign policy positions relative to population control.
       "So the first task is population control at home. How do we go about it? Many of my colleagues feel that some sort of compulsory birth regulation would be necessary to achieve such [population] control. One plan often mentioned involves the addition of temporary sterilants to the water supplies or staple food. Doses of the antidote would be carefully rationed by the government to produce the desired population size. Those of you who are appalled at such a suggestion can rest easy. The option isn't even open to us, thanks to the criminal inadequacy of biomedical research in this area [135-136]. ... Perhaps the most workable system would be to reverse the government's present system of encouraging reproduction and replace it with a series of financial rewards and penalties designed to discourage reproduction. ... On top of the income tax reversal, luxury taxes should be placed on layettes, cribs, diapers, diaper services, and expensive toys.
       "A Federal Department of Population and Environment (DPE) should be set up with power to take whatever steps are necessary to establish a reasonable population size in the United States and to put an end to the steady deterioration of our environment. The DPE would be given ample funds to support research in the areas of population control and environmental quality. In the first area it would promote intensive investigation of new techniques of birth control, possibly leading to the development of mass sterilizing agents such as were discussed above. The DPE would also encourage more research on human sex determination, for if a simple method could be found to guarantee that first-born children were males, then population control problems in many areas could be somewhat eased. In our country and elsewhere couples with only female children "keep trying" in hope of a son" [138].

"Our large polluting population is responsible for air pollution that could very easily lead to massive starvation in the United States within the next two decades, perhaps within the next five years, because air pollution changes the weather of the planet. A rapid change in our weather would result in drastically decreased food production, and we have less than a year's reserve of food at the moment for this country alone. ... We may face a water crisis in this country as soon as 1980 because of the heavy demands of industry and agriculture for fresh water. And we seem to be doing our best to make vast amounts of water into something that's been called "too thick to drink and too thin to plow"."

Elders, Joycelyn (former United States Surgeon General)

"If Medicaid does not pay for abortions, does not pay for family planning, but pays for prenatal care and delivery, that's saying: 'I'll pay for you to have another good, healthy slave, but I won't pay for you to use your brain and make choices for yourself." It's a way to keep people poor, ignorant and enslaved. If you are poor and ignorant, you are a slave" [emphasis in original].

"We look at the crime in our society, and again we found out that we have a society that has 250 million people. We have 211 million guns in our society — 67 million handguns — and more than a million Uzis who have — that have no purpose, except to kill. So, we as a society — we feel that we've got to do all of this protection to make sure for — unplanned, unwanted pregnancy — we've got to protect the fetus! But we've just added 75 more crimes that we're gonna kill for — a death penalty!"

"The Supreme Court justice who supports abortion is likely to be the one who supports all types of social programs which help children — like education, child abuse prevention, medical care, children's rights. The opposite is true of a Supreme Court justice who opposes abortion. I believe those people who are against abortion are against programs for children."

"My point about illicit drugs is that we should study what we should do about the use of drugs, whether they need to be illegal, whether we need to decriminalize them. And if we decriminalize them, how? I don't know how to do it. If I knew how to do it I would be out there screaming every day, telling everybody you should do one, two, three, four, five. But just because we do not know how does not mean we should bury our heads in the sand and not address the issue."

"There is no data anywhere in the world that shows that condoms promote promiscuity. I would give out condoms to prevent disease and prevent unwanted pregnancies.

Question: "Please tell Mrs. Elders that I agree with her stand on legalizing drugs. My question is why is everyone, including the President, afraid of this issue? How is your son? I hope that he is given another opportunity to be an asset to our country vs another statistic."

Elders: "My son is doing well, he lost his appeal approximately two weeks ago, so he is again waiting sentencing to the corrections facility. I hope that he will be able to get into boot camp, as he is a first-time offender, less than ten years sentence, and a small amount of drugs. Thanks."

Question: "Ms. Elders, What do you foresee the challenges will be for Americans if Affirmative Action is eliminated?"

Elders: "I'm very concerned. I feel that we still need affirmative action in America, as long as the top positions in this country are still filled by white males. Women are unable to break through the glass ceiling, minorities are judged on the basis of skin, we must fight for affirmative action."

Question: "Dr. Elders, with the advent of the radical right, as exemplified by your ouster, how do you suggest we get honest and direct information about sex, pregnancy and AIDS to young people?"

Elders: "It will be very difficult, but we must use all of our resources. Our schools, our churches, our businesses, parents, we all must get involved. These are our children, our community, our government, and we can't sell our children's future to the right wing."

Question: "Dr Elders: What can you do to help kids with their sexuality? Are you in any position to influence the current Administration?"

Elders: "Education. Education is the best contraceptive we've got. We have not taught our children how to respond to sexuality, and we've created the problem we've got. We must have comprehensive health education in our schools, from kindergarten through 12th Grade."

Question: "Dr. Elders, what is your opinion of the Christian coalition?"

Elders: "I feel that the Christian Coalition are religious economists. They are about raising money and don't mind using the backs of children to do it. Too bad we let them."

Question: "Do you feel they used the masturbation issue to push you out of office to get a less liberal person in to your position."

Elders: "We've always had problems discussing sexuality issues in our country, and this was just another demonstration of our inability to discuss normal, human sexuality. I do not feel that it was used to push me out of office."

Question: "How does AIDS education need to change in order to overcome the stereotypes that exist, i.e., that homosexuals make up the bulk of the afflicted?"

Elders: "It needs to start early, it needs to be comprehensive, accurate, and appropriate. And it needs to be taught year after year."

Question: "My question is: Why do you feel that we must teach young children about sex? Is this not the job of the parents?"

Elders: "Yes, it is the job of the parents, but most parents don't do it, and we have a sexual crisis in our country. More than a million teenage pregnancies, 12 million STD's, increasing AIDS in our young people, 60% of the children born in America are unplanned and unwanted. These data suggest somebody needs to teach them. We've tried ignorance."

Elizabeth Blackwell Health Center for Women (abortion mill)

"The Pennsylvania Abortion Control Act went into effect on March 20, 1994. For the past six years, health centers that provide abortion services and the lawyers representing them have been fighting the provisions of the law. What does the law provide? Women seeking an abortion must be told by a physician at least 24 hours prior to the procedure the nature of the procedure and the probable gestational age of the fetus. Women must also be told that the Commonwealth's materials are available describing fetal development and listing for agencies that offer alternatives to abortion. ... What we must do now is make sure that our Representatives know how strongly we feel about the law. Call them, write to them! Let them know how burdensome these regulations are. Vote for pro-choice candidates ..."

Ellison, Marvin M. (Presbyterian minister)

       "I'm persuaded that Christianity may serve as a resource for promoting justice for children and youth, but only insofar as those inside this religious tradition correct certain deficiencies in outlook and practice.
       "Moreover, children and adolescents should be seen as whole persons with moral rights to bodily, mental, and spiritual integrity. Their wholeness includes their humanity as sexual beings. By sexuality, I mean more than genital sex. Sexuality refers to the multiple ways in which humans express the desire for physical, emotional, and spiritual embrace of others. As sexual beings, children and then adolescents experience the initial stages of a lifelong process of exploring gender and sexual identities, their own and others', as well as showing an increasing interest in and capacity for, intimate communication and communion with another.
       "Children, as well as adults, have a fundamental right to experience sexual justice in their lives: An honoring of sexuality as basic to their humanness; a deep respect for sexual diversity, including differences in sexual identity and orientation; and protection from sexual violence and exploitation.
       "Christians should publicly confess our own need for rethinking sexual ethics. When it comes to sex, Christians have often been at our very worst: Rigid, judgmental, and punitive. For too long we promulgated negative attitudes about the body, sexual difference, and above all, women. Patriarchal religious traditions have reinforced fear, shame, and guilt about sexuality. Moreover, we've been reluctant to question outmoded assumptions about gender, the purposes of sexuality, and models of family.
       "An ethical framework is needed that is justice-based and can respond to postmodern conditions, as well as reflect the core values of Christian tradition. It is simply not true, if it ever was, that everyone is heterosexual, or that marriage is the only place in which people can live sexually responsible lives, and that sex is exclusively, or even primarily, for the purpose of making babies. The fact of the matter is that some persons, including youth, are heterosexual, others are gay, lesbian, and bisexual, and still others are transgendered and transsexual. Some are even asexual. All the while, each person deserves to love and loved gracefully, compassionately.
       "Sexually active single persons, both older and younger, may also exemplify moral integrity and spiritual maturity ... The primary moral norm is no longer marriage, heterosexuality, or procreative possibility, but rather justice and love in all intimate connections. This ethic raises, rather than lowers, moral standards.
       "First, we must provide access to comprehensive sexuality education that is developmentally appropriate and lifelong. Second, sexuality education must address the pleasures, as well as the dangers, associated with sex and sexuality ... To be empowered as self-directing moral agents, younger people require knowledge, values, and skills to avoid coercive sex, sexually transmitted disease, and unintended pregnancy. At the same time, youth require information about the joys of bodily touch and the goodness of sharing pleasure.
       "Third, we need to encourage greater honesty within our faith communities and in society at large about the failure of abstinence-only sexuality education programs ... abstinence-only programs have no long-term positive impact on young people's behavior. In fact, they often place youth at risk of acting out irresponsibly. Effective educational approaches, in contrast, provide youth with age-appropriate information about contraception, as well as abstinence ... education about abstinence and the use of contraception are not in conflict but rather compatible, and that making condoms available does not increase sexual behavior."

Ellis, Albert

"Religion is directly opposed to the goals of mental health. It encourages fanatic, obsessive-compulsive kind of commitment that is, in its own right, a form of mental illness ...

Elsie Robertson High School (Lancaster, Texas)

The following are some examples of the outrageous "math" problems given to Elsie Robertson High School in Lancaster, Texas. Scott Martin, head of the Math Department at the high school, said that they just wanted to let the students have "a sense of what goes on in the world." As a result, six teachers at the high school were suspended without pay. The example problems are circulating among high schools all over the country. Charles Routon, a 5th grade math teacher in Chicago, gave his students the math problems back in 1994.

Engels, Friedreich

       "The first condition for the liberation of the wife is to bring the whole female sex back into public industry and that this in turn demands the abolition of the monogamous family as the economic unit of society."
       "The modern family contains in germ not only slavery, but also serfdom. ... The married woman differs from the ordinary courtesan in that she does not let out her body on piece-work as a wage worker, but sells it once and for all into slavery. ... The modern individual family is founded on the open or concealed domestic slavery of the wife."
       "With the transfer of the means of production into common ownership, the single family ceases to be the economic unit of society. Private housekeeping is transformed into a social industry. The care and education of the children becomes a public affair; society looks after all children alike, whether they are legitimate or not. This removes all the anxiety about the "consequences," which today is the most essential social — moral as well as economic — factor that prevents a girl from giving herself completely to the man she loves. Will not that suffice to bring about the gradual growth of unrestrained sexual intercourse and with it a more tolerant public opinion in regard to a maiden's honor and a maiden's shame?"

Epstein, Sarah G. (Population Institute)

       "I am aghast that the Justice Department granted three Chinese couples asylum under guidelines for Chinese citizens who "express a fear of persecution upon return because they refuse to abort a pregnancy or resist sterilization" (news story, Aug. 13).
       "I have twice been to China and have studied China's birth policy in cities and rural areas. Only about 20 percent of Chinese families choose to be one-child families. As such, they have certain privileges. No one prevents the others from having two or more children. Indeed, those who choose one child are counseled not to have a sterilization until the child is 10 or 12 years old in case something happens to the only child (or in case they change their minds). ...
       "The Chinese system is both compassionate and fair. For example, if an oldest child is handicapped, the family can have a second child with all the privileges of an only child. If both parents are only children, the same thing. If the parents belong to minority groups (5 percent of the population), they can have more than one child, with all the benefits of an only child. ...
       "Allowing any pregnant Chinese couple to gain asylum here on assertion of fear of forced abortion at home (as illegal in China as it is in the United States) makes a mockery of our asylum law. There are people who truly need asylum, and irresponsible use of refuge in our country will make it only harder in the long run for true political refugees. Let us work out a rational population policy for our own country and respect policies of other countries that are dealing humanely with the critical need to slow population growth."

—: Sarah G. Epstein, a member of the advisory board of the Population Institute, in a published letter to The New York Times entitled "China Has Humane and Fair Birth Policy." September 15, 1988, page A34.

"We should congratulate China on bringing down its birth rate. Every person puts pressure on the limited resources of our planet, so when a country with one-fifth of the world's population achieves a lower birth rate, it helps preserve the world's future. China had millions die of starvation in the 1960s. Knowing that only 11 percent of its land is arable, it has worked hard to avoid a repetition of this by asking its citizens to have small families and encouraging them by a system of rewards and penalties."

Erbe, Bonnie (NBC)

"TV viewers saw a well-orchestrated image of a moderated Republican Party, portraying itself as pro-woman, pro-minorities, and pro-tolerance. This is in sharp contrast to the delegates on the floor, sixty percent of whom self-identified as conservative Christians."

"The right wing has lied repeatedly in an effort to move public opinion on this issue. ... Lie No.1: Conservatives care about life. The renowned quipmeister, Rep. Barney Frank, Massachusetts Democrat, once said, 'Conservatives' interest in life begins at conception and ends at birth.' Truer words were never spoken.

"The measures which have been proposed for reducing the fertility of sub-normal persons include regulation of births, sterilization, better adjustment of mental defectives within the community, legal prohibition of marriage, termination of pregnancy and health examinations before marriage ... Thus eugenicists aim at replacing the present generation by children who are deliberately conceived in the full light of all known medical, social, and genetic factors.

Euthanasia Society

"The negro mind is as different from the white mind as the negro from the white body. The typical negro servant, for instance, is wonderful with children, for the reason that she really enjoys doing the things that children do. ... You have only to go to a nigger camp-meeting to see the African mind in operation — the shrieks, the dancing and yelling and sweating, the surrender to the most violent emotion, the ecstatic blending of the soul of the Congo with the practice of the Salvation Army. So far, no very satisfactory psychological measure has been found for racial differences; that will come, but meanwhile the differences are patent. ... [intermarriage between the] negro and Caucasian type ... gives rise to all sorts of disharmonious organisms. ... By putting some of the white man's mind into the mulatto, you not only make him more capable and more ambitious (there are no well-authenticated cases of pure blacks rising to any eminence), but you increase his discontent and create an obvious injustice if you continue to treat him like any full-blooded African. The American negro is making trouble because of the American white blood that is in him."

Everett, Millard ('bioethicist')

"Eventually, when public opinion is prepared for it, no child shall be admitted into the society of the living who would be certain to suffer any social handicap — for example, any physical or mental defect that would prevent marriage or would make others tolerate his company only from a sense of mercy. ... Life in early infancy is very close to nonexistence, and admitting a child into our society is almost like admitting one from potential to actual existence, and viewed in this way, only normal life should be accepted."
