"Don't forget that gay men hate women even more than straight men do. And they celebrate issues that lesbian women abhor, such as this man-boy love theme. To me, that's child abuse, part of the abusive male crap. When you split lesbianism from feminism, it guts the women's movement.
"The lesbian movement offers the only vision left in the world. Absolutely every other movement shot its wad with Hiroshima ... I hate men. That's like asking if I hate Nazism and like individual Nazis. If yo hate Nazism, you hate all Nazis. So I hate all men ... Men are different from women; they have this testosterone problem. They're a different species. And they always drag women down.
"Straight women have such awful lives, such awful experiences with men, that I think it's more appropriate to ask them, "Why are you straight?" How can any woman want to be straight? Why is it considered natural to sleep with the enemy?"

Gaia Liberation Front (GLF)
"The Humans have been usefully compared to a cancer or a virus. But it seems to us that the must fruitful way of viewing the Humans is as an alien species (which is why we use the definite article and the capital H). ... The Humans come into full view, then, as a hostile alien species, programmed to kill the planet.
"Because of the uncertainties involved, we can ensure Gaia's survival only through the extinction of the Humans as a species. ... there's no way to preserve a species that's programmed to kill the planet. The only question is whether that species can become extinct before it takes the planet with it. ... If any Humans are left, they'll start the whole thing over again. Our policy is to take no chances.
"Here are some of the methods that have been suggested [to wipe out the human race]:
1.
Nuclear war (Too much collateral damage. Definitely not recommended).
2.
[Mandatory] Sterilization (Too slow: even if we managed to sterilize every Human on the planet the species would still be around for another hundred years. And they might figure out some way of reversing the procedure).
3.
Voluntary Sterilization (Even slower, and therefore even riskier. But anything is better than nothing, so this is worth working on while we're spreading the word and waiting for something else) .
4.
Suicide (In theory, faster, but how do you get them to do it? so in practice, probably even slower. Still, you never know. If they could do it in Jonestown...) [NOTE: Funny thing — we've never seen a single one of these "human extinction" people put their beliefs into action and kill themselves].
5.
Bioengineering. Fortunately, we now have the specific technology for doing the job right — and it's something that could be done by just one person with the necessary expertise and access to the necessary equipment. Genetically engineered viruses are already being custom-designed for use in "pest" control. These viruses have the advantage of attacking only the target species. To complicate the search for a cure or a vaccine, and as insurance against the possibility that some Humans might be immune to a particular virus, several different viruses could be released (with provision being made for the release of a second round after the generals and the politicians had come out of their shelters). Of course, natural viruses, such as the smallpox virus, that attack only Humans could be used as well.
"Our experience with AIDS suggests that these viruses should be airborne. AIDS, which once offered so much hope, has proved to be just too easy to avoid. For a tip on how to produce an airborne version of AIDS, see [article citation follows] ..."

"I do not see why any insolence of caste should prevent the gifted class, when they had the power, from treating their compatriots with all kindness, so long as they maintained celibacy. But if these continued to procreate children inferior in moral, intellectual and physical qualities, it is easy to believe the time may come when such persons would be considered as enemies to the State, and to have forfeited all claims to kindness."

Gamble, Dr. Clarence J.
"When sterilizations were begun in 1919 at the Sonoma State Home, it was difficult to secure the approval of the first boy [to be sterilized]. After he had returned from the infirmary, however, and reported to the others, there was very rarely any further difficulty ... Often a boy or girl would come to ask the Superintendent if it wasn't time for his or her operation ... Since the passage of the [eugenic sterilization] laws 25,903 mentally deficient persons have been protected from parenthood in 29 states. It is estimated that these sterilizations will prevent the birth of 19,000 mentally deficient children."

"The widespread practice of abortion furnishes another indication for the control of unwanted children. It is estimated that 700,000 abortions are induced in this country every year. Accurate statistics indicate that one-fifth of the maternal deaths follow abortions, 9/10ths of these occurring in married women who choose this dangerous method of limiting their families rather than bring another child into the unfavorable surroundings to which it would be destined ... Children should come into a family only when they are wanted ... every child in the United States should be made a wanted child ... with contraception, it is possible for you to enable an unwanted child to avoid an entire lifetime of unhappy, unhealthy surroundings ... At present North Carolina's population is increasing at the rate of 3 per cent per year. If that increase came from the more intelligent levels it would be a cause for pride, but unfortunately this is not the case. Dissemination of contraceptive information through public health channels, however, will tend to correct the present unfortunate differential birth rate and improve the quality of the next generation, a matter of far greater importance than the mere quantity ... It is, therefore, my hope that you will do your very important part to make "Every North Carolina Child a Wanted Child"."

"The Republican Congress, of course, is not likely to embrace raising taxes and cutting defense spending. It is beholden to three constituencies: The corporations, whose lobbyists finance politicians and then finagle billions in bizarre subsidies for clients. The rich, who write campaign checks and simply ask to be left alone. And many hard-working, middle-class men and women — mostly white — who resent handouts to the needy. ... About the best [the Democrats] can do is temper excesses of Republican plans — excesses that could lead to class warfare or race warfare, excesses that will widen the already widening gap between rich and poor."

Minorities should love him. He has a terrific record of appointing women and minorities to judgeships and high federal posts. He has put civil rights back on the table after 12 years of Republican neglect. ... No, it makes you wonder what the President and his wife could have accomplished these four years if they had not been consumed by these scandals, these lawsuits and these clippings. By almost any measure, the past four years have been spectacular for many Americans. Still, if Bill Clinton had been a full-time President, if Hillary Clinton had been a full-time First Lady ... would the poor be a little richer? Would the old be a little healthier? Would the young be a little smarter? Would the nation be a little more prosperous? Would the world be a little less troubled? You wonder. And you wonder if he wonders."

"RESOLVED, that all legislation restricting access to and availability of family planning, birth control, reproductive health information, services and treatment be repealed [NOTE: Note the close ties between the homosexuals and the pro-abortion movement].
RESOLVED, that all federal, state, and local funding for public and private schools and universities be cut off until all discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation be eradicated [NOTE: Note the willingness to force their beliefs down everyone else's throats].
RESOLVED, that all schools and universities, public and private, cover all sexualities in the curricula [NOTE: This is Newspeak for enforced and mandatory 'sensitivity classes,' whose purpose is to propagandize and force students into accepting that sodomy is 'just another lifestyle].
RESOLVED, that all schools and universities, public and private, discuss the accomplishments of gays, lesbians, and bisexuals in literature, history/herstory, mathematics, science, art, music and other courses.
RESOLVED, that all schools and universities, public and private, develop a gay and lesbian studies program.
RESOLVED, that all schools and universities, public and private, mandate sensitization workshops on gay and lesbian issues, beginning at the elementary level [NOTE: This objective has already been largely met in our public school system].
RESOLVED, that all schools and universities, public and private, punish those members who harass gays, lesbians, and bisexuals [NOTE: Remember that the homosexual and liberal definition of "harassment" is infinitely expandable, including debating them in a public forum, writing any material that they do not approve of, refusing to meet any of their demands, and opposing them in any way whatever].
RESOLVED, that all schools and universities, public and private, immediately recognize and found student organizations for gays, lesbians, and bisexuals [NOTE: The homosexuals do not even want to be bothered to do the work themselves. They demand that the school do all the research and organizing, while they lay back and enjoy the result].
RESOLVED, that all youth groups and student organizations admit gays, lesbians, and bisexuals" [NOTE: Even if they are forced upon groups that view their lifestyles as abhorrent].

"Various illnesses could be induced in neomorts, and various treatments tried, thus protecting live patients from being "guinea pigs" in experimental procedures and therapies. ... Neomorts would provide a steady supply of blood, since they could be drained regularly. ... Bone marrow, cartilage, and skin could be harvested, and hormones, antitoxins, and antibodies manufactured in neomorts. ...

Gaylor, Anne Nicole (founder of the Freedom from Religion Foundation (FFRF) and editor of Freethought Today)
"The historic, compassionate Supreme Court ruling of Jan. 22, 1973, freed millions of women from sexual servitude and from the dangerous, traumatic search for illegal abortions. This ruling, our country's greatest step forward in social and moral progress since the abolition of slavery, must be protected politically by the activism of individuals who write letters to legislators, attend hearings, visit their Congresspersons, and support groups working to keep abortion safe and legal. ...
"I have become impatient not only with those religious zealots who tiresomely hiss "Murderers," but with those apologists who, while granting the right to abortion, insist that somehow a woman must feel guilt and remorse. I have come to suspect that the persons who refer to abortion as "a tragic option," or "a terrible alternative," hold allegiance not to women's freedom but to a male-dominated world gone by. ...
"I have written this book to share my feelings and experiences so that others might come to see why abortion is a blessing, not only for women but for society. ...
"Babies having babies is a cruelty beyond compare. We do not let our immature animals breed, but our girl children — well, "that's fate" [NOTE: Of course, babies killing babies is all right, according to Gaylor]. ... A social worker told me of her attempts — unsuccessful — to secure an abortion for a mother of eight retarded children, to prevent the birth of a ninth retarded child [NOTE: This is just one of the many highly improbably "hard cases" sprinkled throughout Gaylor's book. How likely is it that a woman would give birth to nine mentally handicapped babies in a row? Of course, all of the stories in Gaylor's book are conveniently anonymous, and she never mentions cases like careless college girls who just like to fornicate and don't like using birth control].
"In the spring of 1970 I referred about forty of the women who could not be helped in Wisconsin to Mexico. Through Bob McCoy, a Minnesota pioneer in abortion reform, I learned of a clinic in Mexico City that charged $300 and that Bob had checked out for safety and considerate treatment of women. Abortion was illegal in Mexico (still is), but the practitioners reportedly paid off the chief of police and were able to operate unmolested. ... The [Mexican] clinic was sanitary and comfortable. Here is an excerpt from one report sent in from an out-of-state referral:
Things were really good down in Mexico City. Everything happens so fast there is almost an aura of fantasy. The clinic (more like a mansion really) is very nice and comfortable.
"There were about seventeen women there the morning I had the D & C done, plus some in the afternoon. They get you up right after and feed you fruit and drink and cookies right away — helps take your mind off the cramping.
"Some of us went sightseeing that afternoon. Mexico City is really nice, and I had no trouble at all with any facet of the journey or my stay there.
"One young woman, with whom I spent quite a bit of time before she flew down because she was unusually tense and unhappy, came back calm and relaxed. She gave me all the factual information including the friends she made and the sights she saw, and then added, somewhat apologetically, "You know, in a way it was almost fun." I don't know when a remark has left me more cheerful. I thought of all the women who had been forced to go into dark alleys and back rooms and deal with perverted, unskilled, unsanitary practitioners, and I could only rejoice that for some women abortions were being done in a safe setting with supportive people, and that the whole trip could be "almost fun." Civilization has been a long time finding women.
"The stereotype of the abortion candidate is that of a young, single woman, working or in college [NOTE: This is certainly not a "stereotype." According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, the research arm of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, four out of five women obtaining abortions are unmarried]. ... Since I knew that out of every one hundred patients, the clinic could expect two to be victims of rape and three to be victims of incest [NOTE: This is simply nonsense. Pro-abortion studies show that less than one-half of one percent of all abortions are done for all of the "hard cases" done together, including life and health of the mother, birth defects and rape and incest]. ...
"The shrillness of the antiabortion clamor in this country has not lessened with the United States Supreme Court decision in 1973. ... That the antiabortion forces have numbers and money is not in doubt [NOTE: Numbers, yes; money, definitely not. Pro-abortionists in the United States outspend pro-lifers by a factor of about forty to one] ... Advocates of the right to choose abortion have too often allowed their opponents' tactics of distortion to go unchallenged. Chronically, antiabortionists represent abortion as involving an elephantine fetus about to walk and talk, when, in truth, the typical abortion has more in common with a menstrual period. With outrageous disregard for truth, antiabortionists have been allowed to portray an embryo or fetus as a person, while the story of the real person involved, the only person involved — the woman who has an abortion — has gone untold. Almost every grass-roots community in America has had the opportunity to see the antiabortionists' distorted, inaccurate, gory slide presentations [NOTE: Hmmmm ... this quotes database shows that it is the pro-aborts, not the pro-lifers, who have been caught in lies over and over again] ... Had the proponents of legal abortion had the access to money, to schools and churches, and to the media that the antis have had, the only proponents of a ban on abortions in this country today would be those zealots who oppose not only abortion but contraception, and in the final analysis, sex itself [NOTE: It seems that Gaylor, like all other pro-abortionists, profess to hate stereotyping while freely using it themselves]. ...
"Antiabortionists love to refer to the 1972 Michigan referendum, in which a proposition to legalize abortion was defeated 61-39 per cent, but that particular referendum probably only proves that the Catholic Church has a lot of money. ... Tyranny is always better organized than freedom. ... It is of questionable constitutionality, of course, to put individual rights out to referendum. It's as undemocratic as letting Alabama and Mississippi decide whether blacks should vote. Basic human rights, including a woman's right to control her own reproductive life, are guaranteed by the Constitution. They are not to be decided by popular referenda or church edicts or male legislatures [NOTE: This is a great summary of how the pro-aborts are anti-Democratic and why they always go through the court system to get their way — because the people do not support them].
"Those who oppose abortion are not "right-to-lifers," they are antiabortionists or compulsory-pregnancy people.
"Those who adhere to the pure Catholic doctrine, and do not believe in abortion even to save a woman's life (and there are a surprising number of these on the speaking circuit), quite properly can be described as being against the right to life for women. Remind your audience that before abortion was legalized in the United States, many thousands of women were admitted every year to hospitals for care after botched abortions, and another 300 women died each year from backstreet or self-induced abortions [NOTE: At least Gaylor does not parrot the "5,000 to 10,000" deaths lie made up by reformed abortionist Bernard Nathanson, but she still exaggerates the true number of illegal abortion deaths by at least three hundred percent]. ... Although these [hospital admission] figures are not broken down and include spontaneous abortions, therapeutic abortions, and induced abortions, there were 358,000 such [hospital] admissions in 1965, a figure that fell to 282,000 by 1971, when legal abortions were becoming regionally available.) Anyone wanting to return women to that situation does not respect life [NOTE: Gaylor, not surprisingly, does not provide a citation for these hugely inflated figures].
"The antiabortionists like to proclaim that theirs is an ecumenical movement, and not predominantly Catholic. Although statistics on the composition of their various groups are not public information, anyone who reads their literature, subscribes to their national newspaper, or attends one of their state or national gatherings cannot avoid the impression that Catholics are running the show [NOTE: Well, excuuuuuuse us!]. ... When you scan lists of groups opposing abortion, you find all of them are religious in nature. Organized religion has done great harm to women. The pervading put-down of women detectable throughout the Bible, the myth of Eve's sin, the ludicrousness of a virgin birth (as though there really were something wrong with ordinary sex) — all this has damaged women. The desire of so many clergymen to keep women subservient, dependent, voiceless, is in itself an appalling commentary on both religion and male supremacy. Man has stood for so long with one foot on woman's neck that he finds he cannot stand up any other way. The posture is crippling. ...
"Almost the only women asking for second trimester (four to six month inclusive) abortions, in areas where abortion can be found easily, are teen-agers who have been afraid to tell anyone they are pregnant, women with highly irregular periods who have no way of knowing they are pregnant, or women who think they are in menopause and discover it is pregnancy [NOTE: As usual, Gaylor is resorting to propaganda here. According to the preliminary report Abortions in Kansas 2001, late-term abortionist George Tiller killed 635 babies aged 22 weeks gestation or greater; 395 viable babies using the "mental health" exception; no babies to save the life of a pregnant woman, and no babies in the context of a medical emergency. During the period 1999-2001 alone, Tiller killed 1,848 babies aged 22 weeks gestation or greater; 1,077 viable babies using the "mental health" exception, of which more than 75% had no fetal anomalies whatsoever. During these three years, Tiller committed no abortions to save the life of the mother, and committed exactly one abortion in the context of a medical emergency].
"When the Catholic Church is trying to ram its doctrine down the throats of everyone in sight, you are not going to beat them off if you tiptoe around saying how nice they are. There is no point in our pretending that official Catholic views are enlightened and humane, or that Catholics are not different from anyone else. Catholics are different from others — they are quite willing to associate themselves with an organization that has done and continues to do an immense amount of damage to women, to families, to countries, and to the world. If the Catholic doctrines on sex (no contraception, no sterilization, no abortion) could prevail, all the world would be miserable instead of just some of it. All the world would be hungry. The world would end [NOTE: Finally, Gaylor drops her pretense of caring for women and gets to the real point of the book — hysterical hatred of religion]. ... If people had chosen to tiptoe around other harmful organizations, for example the Ku Klux Klan, and say, "Oh, they mean well; they're really nice people," the Klan would prosper. All over the world there are miserable, starving, needy Catholic children. Why, in the name of morality, aren't they helping children already born, rather than trying to force unwilling women to produce more unwanted children? [NOTE: Gaylor is obviously ignorant of the fact that the Catholic Church does more charitable work among the poor than any other organization on Earth]. There is no way of assembling and evaluating the damage done to women, families, and society by the Catholic Church, but we can talk about it. Not to do so would be the equivalent of the emancipators of 120 years ago saying, "Oh, they own slaves, but they're nice people, so we won't say anything."
"A new wrinkle in hospital practice in cities having two or three hospitals is the channeling of maternity patients to one facility. All too often the facility chosen is a Catholic hospital, and women needing sterilizations at the time of delivery find their medical needs ignored because of religious prejudice [NOTE: You can see that, to pro-abortionists like Gaylor, there is no such thing as a pro-life or religious person opposing abortion for a legitimate reason, or in good will. We are all scary, conspiring, evil people to her incurably paranoid mind].
"No hospital should be allowed to deny emergency treatment to women. When a woman is having a fourth or fifth Caesarean section, she needs a tubal ligation; this is an emergency situation. When a woman becomes pregnant, who has diabetes or hypertension or a heart disorder or any of a dozen other serious conditions, she needs an abortion; these are emergency situations. Too many women suffer and die because hospital policy ranks higher with male physicians, male legislators, and male judges than women's lives and health.
"Since a medical education is the most expensive education we offer, and since the medical student pays for only a small portion of that education (15 percent at the University of Wisconsin, Madison), it is fair and proper that we expect certain things of these privileged persons. If a student wishes to become a gynecologist or obstetrician, the student should understand that she/he will be expected to help women with birth control and do tubal ligations and abortions. Medical students must be screened, and if they possess convictions that prevent their delivering certain medical care, then they should either specialize in an area where they cannot damage their patients with their personal beliefs, or perhaps they should consider the church, not medicine. ...
"For it is a truth that population is going to be controlled. If it is not controlled by women's and men's intellect, it will be controlled by famine, disease, and war. ... When most cultures regard women as breeding machines, and most of the world does just that, of course populations will grow. When you are brought up not to please yourself, but to please men, naturally you are going to breed. ... but if the role that is forced on you is that of wife and mother, you must be very strong indeed to overthrow tradition. When in school you are steered toward home economics or typing, and to become a cheerleader is the begin-all, end-all of existence, of course you are going to turn out to be a breeder.
"Male supremacists, fundamentalists, and the Catholic Church finally have met their match. Feminists will work until the freedom to choose abortion is extended to women everywhere."
"Ten of the twelve persons finally deciding Dr. Edelin's fate were Catholic. That card-carrying, dues-paying Catholics ever should have been allowed to serve on a jury deciding a charge of abortion-related manslaughter is a travesty of justice. They support the institution that is the major enemy of abortion in the world 컴 yet they were allowed to bring their religious bias to this legal setting [NOTE: Of course, Gaylor has no problem at all with "anti-religious" or atheist bias. Edelin strangled a late-term baby that he aborted. It did not seem to occur to Gaylor that her statement is equivalent to saying that no Jew should ever sit on a jury judging an American Nazi accused of committing hate crimes]. ... Dr. Edelin remained outwardly composed after the [guilty] verdict, but others in the courtroom did not. There were sobs and cries of disbelief as spectators said to each other, "How could they find him guilty?" Several women left the courtroom looking dazed and stunned; some were crying openly. ... Women ask for late abortions for serious and compelling reasons, and the option of late abortion must be kept open for all these tragic cases.

"Criticism of religion is discouraged and stifled [NOTE: What planet is Gaylor from? There are thousands of writers, authors, playwrights, movie producers, television and radio talk show hosts and other "celebrities" who make entire careers out of mocking and bashing the Church]. ... It remains socially unacceptable to point out the main objections which skeptics and freethinkers have to religion: That it is both untrue, and harmful. ... History is replete with the recorded abuses and savageries of organized religion when it comes to power. Human sacrifices to appease the gods. The Crusades. The Inquisition. The execution of millions of women under the direction of the bible. Pogroms against Jews. The Holocaust. Jonestown, Guyana [NOTE: Gaylor depends on silly exaggerations and lies generated by her fellow atheists, such as the old nonsense that "millions of women" were slaughtered by the Church. She also conveniently neglects to mention the largest slaughters of all, by Communists — and atheists — such as Lenin, Stalin, Pol Pot and Mao Zedong] ... It should not be surprising that crime is connected to the religious mentality and its ideology: Such beliefs as original sin, the sacredness of gruesome bible teachings and inflexibility of moral codes, the absolution of sin through confession, a lack of personal responsibility for one's actions, and terrifying spectres of a jealous god and evil devils. ... If religion or any institution depends on the sexual subordination or exploitation of children or women, then it is better that such institutions should cease to exist."

"My mother, Anne Gaylor, in working for the repeal of antiabortion laws in Wisconsin in the late sixties soon realized that the true enemy of abortion rights and all women's rights was organized religion. ... In fact, we are in the midst of a religious war not just against abortion rights, but women's rights in general, not just in our country, but worldwide.
"In this country, the religious terrorism is directed at birth control and abortion clinics, their patients, medical providers and staff. In Alabama, it is the Army of God bombing abortion clinics. In Algeria, it is terrorists from similarly named groups who are shooting schoolgirls on the streets for not wearing veils.
"In America, the foot soldiers of the Religious Right are engaged in their campaigns of terrorism, harassment, stalking, arsons, bombing, murder, trying to close down legal abortion clinics by force. They do all these things in the name of God. In Afghanistan, the radical Islamic Taliban that has taken over that country is literally halting all medical care for women 컴 the hospitals in the capital city are already closed to women. They've done this, and worse, in the name of Allah. ...
"Every freedom won for women in this country, small or large 컴 from wearing bloomers to riding bicycles to not wearing bonnets in church, to being permitted to speak in public, to attend universities, to enter professions, to vote and own property 컴 was opposed by the churches. In the nineteen seventies and eighties, it was the churches 컴 Catholic, fundamentalist Protestant and Mormon 컴 which marshalled political forces to defeat the Equal Rights Amendment.
"And the most important right women have strived to obtain is the right to decide if and when to become a mother. Foes of women's freedom know that controlling women's reproduction is the ultimate way to control women. That is why when it comes to abortion, religious opponents are not just hurling bibles. They are hurtling bombs.
"This is a religious war against women because it relies on threats, force, violence, harassment, terrorism. ..."

"There is no point in our pretending that official Catholic views are enlightened and humane, or that Catholics are not different from anyone else. Catholics are different from others — they are quite willing to associate themselves with an organization that has done and continues to do an immense amount of damage to women, to families, to countries, and to the world. If the Catholic doctrines on sex could prevail, all the world would be miserable instead of just some of it. All the world would be hungry. The world would end."

Gebara, Ivone (Brazilian 'theologian')
"... And countless women have illegal abortions [in Brazil] each year — estimates range from one million to five million — with maternal mortality running as high as 10 percent. This sort of reality is what moved Ivone Gebara, a theologian and nun, to go public last autumn in favor of legalizing abortion in Brazil.
""I feel that the problem of legalization of abortion is linked to the problem of the power of patriarchy," Gebara told a gathering in Washington recently, while on a break from a semester of teaching at Union Theological Seminary in New York City ... "In the Roman Catholic Church, we don't allow birth control, we don't allow condoms, we don't allow anything" [NOTE: Surprise to all you millions of NFP users around the world!] "It is impossible to have reproductive health if you don't allow these means ... People say don't understand about birth control because you are not married, but I am a woman and I am human" [NOTE: What hypocrisy! CFFC tells priests they can't voice an opinion on this subject because they aren't married] ... If I haven't experienced it in my own body, I have experienced it by my solidarity with women. I don't have to be pregnant to understand a woman who is pregnant. I don't have to be beaten to understand what violence against women means. All human problems interest me, but some people say nuns need to be silent on these questions" [NOTE: More hypocrisy! It is CFFC that says that priests and men in general are not allowed to speak on these topics].
"The problem is not only the legalization of abortion, but a question of power. If I am saying no to patriarchal power, yes to women's experience, members of the hierarchy are afraid. They can't love me."

Conscience (newsletter of 'Catholics' for a Free Choice), Summer 1994 [Volume XV, Number 2], pages 36 and 37 [NOTE: The pro-abortionists in Brazil are the worst in the world at exaggeration. The above quote infers that as many as half a million women die annually of unsafe abortions in Brazil! This writer is probably parroting the numbers given by BENFAM, the Brazilian affiliate of the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF). Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) figures have showed that only 55,066 Brazilian women between the ages of 14 and 50 died of all causes in 1980.

"According to statistics published by various health organizations, it is estimated that in Brazil there are millions of illegal abortions annually, with maternal mortality at 10 percent ... Decriminalizing abortion could be considered an approach that perpetuates institutionalized violence, a kind of violent response to a violent situation. But such a thesis would not apply only if the thousands of abortions and women's deaths did not in fact already exist [NOTE: This is so profoundly stupid a statement that it is almost mind-boggling. We would never apply such twisted 'logic' to any other situation. For example, try replacing the word "abortion" with "lynching" and see how idiotic it sounds] ... My position with regard to decriminalized and legalized abortion, as a citizen, a Christian, and a member of a religious community, is one of denouncing the evil, and the hypocrisy that envelop us. It is testimony for life; it is in defense of life."

"The Arizona pedophile who raped 800 children, Rex King — known in the Kinsey files as "Green" — had sex with men, women, children and animals ... Nursery school people ... parents ... couldn't give us the extraordinary detail that Green did. It was illegal and we knew it was illegal and that's why a lot of people are furious ... they say we should have turned him in instantly ... If we had turned him in it would have been the end of our research project ... Any good scientist that studies knows children are sexual beings ... little males get erections even in the uterus. They are sexual from the word go ... Green ... contributed a fair amount to our knowledge ... and medicine's knowledge of sexuality in children. We made our point that children are sexual from birth." [Interviewer: "How did Kinsey come in contact with, say, the paedophiles?"] "That was rather easy. We got in prisons, a lot of them ... we'd go after them ... Then there was also a paedophile organization in this country ... they cooperated ... some ... not incarcerated, they came and gave us information ...

"I would say where force and violence are involved, where mental violence is involved, there's a fine line. What about some thirteen-year-old kid whose parents have beat him up and rejected him and is out on the street looking for love, hungry, taken in by some pederast who treats him nicely, gives him an education, sleeps with him — what are you gonna do? What humanely should be done? How are you going to make the distinction? The cops don't make the distinction. The law doesn't make the distinction. NAMBLA's good for making public discussion on this issue, discussing what should be the right laws. People want to scapegoat the discussion. They're willing to talk about it publicly all the time and bust people but sensible discussion seems to be out of the question. I've been accused of being a child rapist simply because I went on the air and said I was a member of NAMBLA. Ten years ago, I saw in Time Magazine an attack on NAMBLA saying it was a group involved in "the systematic exploitation of the weak and immature by the powerful and disturbed." At first reading, it struck me as a precise characterization of Time's own assault on the American mind."

"Reading Dr. Mumford's book brings to mind those saddest of words: "What might have been." The U.S. government's National Security Study Memorandum 200, carried out in 1974, analyzed the population problem and recognized the urgency of addressing it immediately. However, due to a massive, Vatican-led effort, the government's political will was dissipated and the public was confused with disinformation. The result was inaction on the population issue, and we are all paying the price as we see the grim predictions of NSSM 200 come true. Analyzing the population-denial movement without mentioning the Vatican is like analyzing the Holocaust without mentioning Germany. Yet the Vatican even now receives kid glove treatment from the media, its efforts at the suppression of information and the spread of disinformation are rarely exposed. Dr. Mumford has taken off the gloves and exposed the Vatican's ruthless agenda. One can only hope that this book is widely read, for disinformation that downplays the population problem is still rampant, and propagated by many news sources, including those of the highest reputation."

Using their own words, Dr. Mumford shows how Vatican loyalists seek to undermine both these dearly held beliefs on which our country is based.

Goodman, Ellen (syndicated columnist)
"Indeed, one of the most striking new impressions from the [PVS] conference is how the language of "disability" is being applied to those in a persistent vegetative state. It's being used in courtrooms against families who want to stop treatment of the unconscious and let them die. It's being used by advocates such as James Bopp of the National Legal center for the Medically Dependent and Disabled, who accuse families like Ryan [Amerman]'s and Christine [Busalacchi]'s of "discounting, devaluing life based on disability."
"There is something not only deceptive in this, but cruel. To describe a PVS patient as disabled is, as ethicist George Annas put it, "to describe a Minnesota blizzard as precipitation." To use funds intended for those who can benefit on those who cannot is somewhere between perverse and immoral.
"There are indeed slippery slopes. But patients in a persistent vegetative state are not people with a reduced quality of life. They are people with no quality of life. We have to look squarely at this reality.
"To apply the language of disability to permanently unconscious people is not to strengthen but to cheapen that language and that cause. It makes a mockery of our best intentions..."

"When a man and a woman mate, a powerful auric light is sent out into the ethers. If this mating is a product of pure lust, the color of the aura is rust-red, and it "attracts" a less-evolved spirit. If a man and woman who love each other mate (whether married or unmarried), they produce a "love child," whose brilliant aura attracts a more developed spirit. ... The fetus is a robot, able to move but lacking a spirit, so it is not human. It is guided by automatic controls, and is not alive until the instant of the first breath of life."

Gorbachev, Mikhail
"The Party has been, and remains, the main organizing and coordinating force capable of leading the people along the path of profound Socialist renewal ... Perestroika will not work without the Party and its fundamental influence on all aspects of social life.
"We say perestroika is the renewal of Socialism, but not its dismantling. We say perestroika is revolutionary transformation, the elimination of the deformation of Socialism, but not the restoration of Capitalism. We say perestroika is the revival of creative Marxism, a new awareness of Leninist ideas ..."

"... the church really does not have a viable sexual ethic. ... If the Roman Catholic church is ever to regain credibility in matters of sexuality, it will need to develop an appropriately sophisticated and complicated sexual ethic beyond what it has at present."

Conscience (newsletter of 'Catholics' for a Free Choice), September-December 1987 [Volume VIII, Numbers 5 and 6], pages 14 and 15 [NOTE: Notice that Gordon wants a complicated sexual ethic, an ethic where any possible sexual perversion can easily be justified and rationalized. This is how the anti-lifers work: They condemn what they call "black and white" thinking, and strive to make as large a "grey area" as possible, in order to give themselves maximum freedom and sow as much doubt and uncertainty as possible. One of the beauties of the Church's teachings is that it is so simple and elegant that anyone can understand it. Six words summarize it: "Abstinence before marriage and faithfulness after." The only people who cannot understand this supremely simple sexual ethic are educated idiots. Those who cannot accept it have far worse problems].
Gordon, Sol ('sexologist')
"In our view, individuals who exhibit the least human dignity are those who compare the Holocaust, the mass murder of 6 million Jews, to abortion. There exists no comparison more immoral or depraved. It is both illogical and outrageous to suggest that the calculated murder of millions of children and adults can be equated with an individual woman's decision to terminate her pregnancy ..."

"Most people are heterosexual. Some people choose to be homosexual or bisexual. A few adults choose not to have sexual relations, which is okay, too. We have no right to condemn a person because of his or her sexual preferences. Letting yourself be bothered by fear of homosexuality in yourself or others is irrational ...
"A lot of people wonder about oral and anal sex (mouth to penis, vagina or anus; or penis to anus). Some say that such acts are perverse or degrading. Other people consider them to be a normal part of foreplay, or a substitute for intercourse. We say, no one has the right to condemn a person on the basis of that person's manner of sexual expression." [emphasis added].

Witt was not with him at any point during the trip. During this debate, Gore also spun a story about Winnifred Skinner, who has to collect cans seven days a week in order to pay for her prescription drugs. Later, he said she drove her Winnebago [an expensive gas-guzzling RV) from Des Moines, Iowa to the debate in Boston. Following the debate, reporters in Des Moines talked to Winnefred's children, and found out that she's not in financial trouble at all. She's a retired union steward living on a healthy pension.

Grant, Lindsey (United States Department of State)
"Perhaps we [Americans] should relax a little and recognize that the recipient countries have to make their own decisions about the trade-offs between pressing demographic problems and the policies needed to deal with them. In the curve of human history, we have just arrived at the stage of recognizing that human success in affecting mortality imposes an obligation to regulate fertility. We are still learning how to do it with minimal interference with human freedom. We do not have time for leisurely experimentation. The most successful crash programs in the third world have involved the manipulation of group pressures and incentives and disincentives. We should not automatically turn against those problems simply because we have the luxury of not sharing their problem, here at home."

George Wallace and Sen. Joseph McCarthy. Like Wallace before him, Newt Gingrich evokes the nation's boiling anxieties as a rancid populism of 'us vs. them,' though he is too shrewd to make the racial resentments explicit. Like Joe McCarthy, Gingrich depicts his adversaries not simply as mistaken in their political views but as sick, traitorous people who are invidiously subverting the national character. ...

"I feel that it [the Federal government encouraging adoption in any way] would amount to coercive behavior. And it would be inappropriate behavior for anyone in the health care profession to inflict their point of view on anyone. No one knows better than the woman herself what's best for her."
—
David Grimes, criticizing adoption. Quoted in "Defying Simple Slogans: Why 'Adoption, Not Abortion' Won't Work." Newsweek Magazine, May 1, 1989 [NOTE: In this evenhandedly entitled article, the authors sneer at adoption, calling it a "superficial, sloganistic" and "hopelessly naive" alternative to abortion. They fret about "shady baby brokers" (ignoring 'shady baby killers') and "inadequate checks on prospective parents" if abortion were outlawed (they obviously prefer that the kids should be killed by their parents). Naturally, Grimes see no problem at all with having the government finance abortion or having abortuary 'counselors' relentlessly push women in the direction of abortion while systematically censoring all information on alternatives. To him, this is not "coercive behavior"].

Gudorf, Christine E. ('Catholics' for a Free Choice (CFFC))
"While practices such as genital mutilation of female children and adolescents, which affects an estimated 85 to 114 million females around the world, involve obscene denials of bodyright, western cultures deny bodyright in ways only slightly more subtle. Parents, teachers, health care professionals, neighbors, and friends routinely fail to respect children's right to make choices about what happens to their bodies. Decisions about what they will eat and wear, who will touch and care for them, the very schedules on which their bodies operate, are set by others. Given what we know about the damage inflicted on self by denial of bodyright in sexual abuse, how can we ignore the less dramatic but still detrimental effects of systematic and virtually universal denial of bodyright to children?
"Our society's refusal to acknowledge children's bodyright has even distorted our efforts to protect children from sexual abuse. Much too much of the attempt to teach children to refuse sexual abuse focuses on separating sexual and nonsexual touch under the guise of bad touch and good touch. Sexual touch is not bad touch. Bad touch is any touch that is unwanted [NOTE: The North American Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) says exactly the same thing, as it attempts to legalize and legitimize the sexual abuse of children].
"Much too often, rather than take the time and effort to explain to a child why, for example, the child needs an immunization she does not want, we restrain her and give the immunization. When we do this we teach children that individuals have no bodyright, that those who are bigger and more powerful control the bodies of those who are smaller and weaker.

"There is no inherent human right to be biological parents. ... To say, then, that human beings have a right to have children is not to slay that infertile humans have a right to reproductive technologies — contrary to some of the rhetoric of supporters of these technologies. ... there is, for different reasons, no absolute right to parent the children we procreate — despite recent court cases. Parenthood is a process of relationship. No human being has a right to a relationship with any other person. Humans need relationship; but this need does not confer a right to any particular relationship because truly human relationship must be mutual. ... The good of children also is at stake in decisions about sterilizing the mentally retarded. As the mother of a brain-damaged seventeen-year-old with and IQ of forty-five, who will never read, write, drive, tell time, count money, or remember to wash himself without reminders, but who is intensely interested in women and sex, I cannot agree that sterilization of the retarded, at the guardian's discretion, is a denial of basis rights. I imagine I would feel even more strongly if my child were female. ... a society which refuses sterilization of the incompetent only encourages parents of the incompetent to abandon them as they mature."

"Religion therefore has a serous responsibility to contribute to greater justice for women.

"Abortion stands alone along our spectrum of moral issues. In the birth control controversy, anyone who maintained that she would never use artificial contraception, and would never encourage anyone else to do so, would be welcomed with open arms as the most loyal of Catholics. But in the abortion controversy, persons such as Geraldine Ferraro — or myself — who made such disclaimers are counted as pro-abortion if they do not also support legislation to make abortion illegal. Among some in the Catholic community such persons are often labeled "not really Catholic."

At the same time, when fundamental moral values are in conflict, as they are in the abortion instance, and strong popular support for the conclusion reached by the legislator's conscience is absent, a strong case can be made for Catholic legislators' refusing to impose their conclusions of conscience on others [NOTE: What CFFC is essentially saying here is when a large majority of people have a conservative viewpoint that contradicts the view of the politician, he must not contradict his own conscience by voting as the people want. However, if people want a ban on certain abortion procedures (like the D&X, or partial-birth abortion), then the legislator must not "impose his conscience"].
"Freedom cannot be refused whole classes of persons on ground that some of them might, or even probably would, use that freedom to commit grievous sin [NOTE: Yet this is precisely what CFFC is saying about pro-lifers — that we must not exercise our freedom of assembly to picket abortion mills and that we must not use our freedom of speech to speak what they call "inflammatory rhetoric," because these activities might lead to the grievous sin of killing abortionists].
"When the church admitted that (1) procreation is not the only or the single primary purpose of the marriage act, but shares that role with nurture of the marital relationship, and (2) that natural methods of contraception were morally acceptable, it effectively severed the equation of intercourse with procreation.
"I have seen some of the thousands and thousands of children shuffled from institution to foster home and back again, and I have seen how few people ever consider adoption. What would happen to those unwanted children? Many of them would inevitable end up dead from the violence of abuse, or more probably from the violence of neglect. The nightly news would hold antiabortion forces responsible for the fate of these children.
