Quotes on Abortion.

Pro-Choice

 * (No expressed objections to abortion, and opposed to legal penalties against it)

Comedians

 * "Why is it that most of the people who are against abortion are people you wouldn't want to fuck in the first place?"
 * George Carlin

 * "Why is it that when it's us, it's an "abortion" and when it's chicken it's an "omelette"? Are we so much better than chickens all of a sudden?"
 * George Carlin

 * "People say "life begins at conception." I say life began about about a billion years ago and it's a continuous process."
 * George Carlin

Legal professionals

 * "The states are not free, under the guise of protecting maternal health or potential life, to intimidate women into continuing pregnancies."
 * Harry Blackmun, majority opinion in Roe v. Wade, January 22, 1973

 * "If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament."
 * Florynce Kennedy

Medical professionals

 * "... abortion opponents love little babies as long as they are in someone else's uterus."
 * Joycelyn Elders, circa. 1990

 * "In the case of an unwanted pregnancy, the existential choice for a woman is not abortion vs. no abortion, but, as Garrett Hardin has pointed out, abortion vs. compulsory childbearing. (See his Mandatory Motherhood for a biologist's look at the case for abortion.) If others can force her to be a mother... then she is coerced into putting her body at the disposal of the fetus as if she were an unclaimed natural resource or a chattel slave.... Thus, the woman's most fundamental right of choice, the right to control her own body and happiness, is being abrogated."
 * Sharon Presley and Robert Cooke (Morgan Edwards) in "The Right to Abortion: A Libertarian Defence" (http://www.alf.org/papers/abortion.shtml), Association of Libertarian Feminists (http://www.alf.org/index.shtml)

Musicians

 * "And since a man can't make oneHe has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one"
 * Tupac, "Keep Ya Head Up"

 * "If you look at the issue, you'll see that this isn't about the children. There are children starving in the sewers of Persia.  There are babies in the AIDS wards, chucked out into the streets like … cabbage.  If this were really about the children, they'd be doing something about the children that are already here.  I don't play that game."
 * Tori Amos

 * "My friend, O' LordyWent to take care of her own bodyShe got shot down in the roadShe looked up before she wentShe said "This isn't really what I meant"And the daily news said "2 with 1 stone"
 * Sheryl Crow, "Hard to Make a Stand"

 * "We lived our dreams and challenged fateIn tears she told me she was lateThen Sally let his pigeons out to flyShe left one night with just a nodWas lost in some back alley jobI close my eyes and Sally's pigeons fly"
 * Cyndi Lauper, "Sally's Pigeons"

Philosophers

 * "Neglect of an effective birth control policy is a never-failing source of poverty which, in turn, is the parent of revolution and crime."
 * Aristotle, Politics, circa. 350 BC

 * "Never mind the vicious nonsense of claiming that an embryo has a 'right to life.' A piece of protoplasm has no rights -— and no life in the human sense of the term.  One may argue about the later stages of a pregnancy, but the essential issue concerns only the first three months.  To equate a potential with an actual, is vicious; to advocate the sacrifice of the latter to the former, is unspeakable."
 * Ayn Rand

Pro-Life

 * (Opposed to abortion, and to it being a legally available option)

Anonymous

 * Unknown

 * "Choose life. Your mother did."
 * Popular bumper sticker; author unknown

 * "It is statistically confirmed that the most dangerous place to be with in regard to the preservation of one's life is in the womb of a mother, who is being told that if she doesn't want her baby she can abort its life."
 * Unknown

Media professionals

 * Rush Limbaugh

 * "After tens of millions of [abortion] 'procedures', has America lost anything? Another Edison, perhaps?  A Gershwin?  A Babe Ruth?  A Duke Ellington? … As it is, we will never know what abortion has cost us all."
 * Joseph Sobran, Editorial Columnist

Medical professionals

 * "TO THOSE WHO WERE ROBBED OF LIFE: the unborn, the weak, the sick, the old, during the Dark Ages of madness, selfishness, lust and greed for which the last decades of the twentieth century are remembered..."
 * C. Everett Koop, MD

Philosophers

 * "We should not be surprised at the epidemic of child abuse. Obviously there is a connection between what we can do to a baby in the first nine months of life in the womb, and thereafter."
 * Princeton Ethicist Paul Ramsey

Political leaders

 * "We cannot diminish the value of one category of human life—the unborn—without diminishing the value of all human life."
 * Ronald Reagan

 * "When we look to the unborn child, the real issue is not when life begins, but when love begins."
 * Robert Casey

Religious leaders

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

Religious texts

 * Abortion and euthanasia have become preeminent threats to human dignity because they directly attack life itself, the most fundamental human good and the condition for all others. They are committed against those who are weakest and most defenseless, those who are genuinely "the poorest of the poor." They are endorsed increasingly without the veil of euphemism, as supporters of abortion and euthanasia freely concede these are killing even as they promote them. Sadly, they are practiced in those communities which ordinarily provide a safe haven for the weak -- the family and the healing professions. Such direct attacks on human life, once crimes, are today legitimized by governments sworn to protect the weak and marginalized.
 * Living the Gospel of Life: A Challenge to American Catholic U.S. Bishops, 1998

 * The LORD God calls the prophet, Jeremiah, to service
 * "Then the word of the L ORD came unto me, saying, Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations." [Holy Bible, Jeremiah 1:4-5; King James Version (KJV), in the Public Domain]

And the angel answered and said unto her, "The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy Thing Which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age:  and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. For with God nothing shall be impossible." And Mary said, "Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word." And the angel departed from her. And Mary arose in those days (of Herod), and went into the hill country with haste into a city of Juda; And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit: And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, "Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord." (Note the two pregnancies, one too early and one too late. Mary went immediately to Elisabeth [said to be a one to two day journey back then] after telling the angel "be it unto me according to thy word" and already He was recognized not only by Elisabeth, calling Him "my Lord", but by her unborn child, John the Baptist, leaping in reaction to His presence.  Here we have an example of two unborn children, one six months and the other only one or two days from conception, communicating with each other).
 * "Then said Mary unto the angel, "How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?"
 * King James Version of the Bible [Luke 1:34-45]

Indefinite
(these statements, whatever the intent and opinions of the authors, make no declarations that can definitely be positioned in any of the three categories)

Comedians

 * "And, by the way, my belief is that if men were the ones getting pregnant, abortions would be easier to get than food poisoning in Moscow."
 * Dennis Miller

 * Every sperm is sacred / Every sperm is great / If a sperm is wasted / God gets quite irate.
 * Monty Python's The Meaning of Life

 * "I have a different stance on abortion: I'm against abortion, but for killing babies. That way everyone loses, and I win.  I'm neither pro choice, nor pro life; I'm pro you-shutting-the-hell-up.  The only way I'd be "pro choice" is if it meant I could choose which babies I could abort, and only then if I could lift the age restriction to 80."
 * George Ouzounian (Maddox)

Media professionals

 * "No one wants an abortion as she wants an ice cream cone or a Porsche. She wants an abortion as an animal, caught in a trap, wants to gnaw off its own leg."
 * Frederica Mathewes-Green

Political leaders

 * McCAIN [to Bush]: Do you believe in the exemption, in the case of abortion, for rape, incest, and life of the mother?
 * BUSH: Yeah, I do.
 * McCain: [But you] support the pro-life plank [in the Republican Party platform]?
 * BUSH: I do.
 * McCAIN: So, in other words, your position is that you believe there’s an exemption for rape, incest and the life of the mother, but you want the platform that you’re supposed to be leading to have no exemption. Help me out there, will you?
 * BUSH: I will. The platform doesn’t talk about what specifically should be in the constitutional amendment. The platform speaks about a constitutional amendment. It doesn’t refer to how that constitutional amendment ought to be defined.
 * McCAIN: If you read the platform, it has no exceptions.
 * BUSH: John, I think we need to keep the platform the way it is. This is a pro-life party.
 * McCAIN: Then you are contradicting your platform.
 * Source: GOP Debate on the Larry King Show Feb 15, 2000

Religious texts

 * "And should men quarrel and hit a pregnant woman, and she miscarries but there is no fatality, he shall surely be punished, when the woman's husband makes demands of him, and he shall give [restitution] according to the judges' [orders]."
 * The Bible in Exodus 21:22

 * "If men who are fighting hit a pregnant woman and she gives birth prematurely but there is no serious injury, the offender must be fined whatever the woman’s husband demands and the court allows. But if there is serious injury, you are to take life for life."
 * The Bible in [Exodus 21:22]

 * "If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief (hurt) follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him;  and he shall pay as the judges determine.  And if any mischief (hurt) follow, then thou shalt give life (a breathing creature) for life (a breathing creature), etc.
 * King James Version of the Bible [Exodus 21:22,23]

Unknown

 * All plucked flowers and carrots are untimely ripped. All scotched weeds or cadaver eating are abortions.
 * O Anna Niemus

The Who

The Who are an English rock band formed in 1964 by Roger Daltrey (lead vocals, harmonica and guitar), Pete Townshend (guitar, keyboards and vocals), John Entwistle (bass guitar, brass and vocals) and Keith Moon (drums and percussion).

Pete Townshend

 * I don't think I even approach being a lead player; I think I'm very much part of a band and a riff-maker. I enjoy backing people up and letting people ride on top...I'm musically happiest when I feel I'm driving everyone else to do good things, when I'm not being the pin man.

 * That was bowling.
 * After being asked how he learned to use the "windmill" guitar move, The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, CBS Studios, Los Angeles, September 15, 1967.

 * If you steer clear of quality, you're alright.
 * A Whole Scene Going, BBC 1, Studio 7, BBC Television Centre, London, January 5, 1966.

 * John [Entwistle] and I were listening to a stereo L.P. of The Beatles in which the voices come out of one side and the backing track comes out of the other. And when you actually hear the backing tracks of The Beatles without their voices, they're flippin' lousy.
 * A Whole Scene Going, BBC 1, Studio 7, BBC Television Centre, London, January 5, 1966.

 * Russell Harty: Who does that machinery belong to, does it belong to you or to us? I mean who has to pay for it? Pete: It's alright.
 * After smashing an amp, Russell Harty Plus, London Weekend Television, South Bank, London, January 3, 1973.

 * The day you open your mind to music, you're halfway to opening your mind to life.
 * Pop Chronicles, Show 23 - Smack Dab in the Middle on Route 66. Part 2, interview recorded in London 2.5.1968.

Keith Moon

 * My friends call me Keith, but you can call me John.
 * Introducing himself to Tommy Smothers, The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, CBS Studios, Los Angeles, September 15, 1967.

 * The "greatest Keith Moon-type drummer in the world," as he described himself

 * Russell Harty: You're all married, aren't you? The Who (various): Eh? Eh? No, no no. Keith Moon: I wouldn't marry this lot!
 * Russell Harty Plus, London Weekend Television, South Bank, London, January 3, 1973.

John Entwistle

 * We became rich later than I expected. Now I'm too old to enjoy my money.
 * Stow-on-the-Wold, Gloucestershire, January 5-6, 1978.

Roger Daltrey

 * Think lucky. Be lucky.
 * TheWho.com, 2008.

 * I think that if John could choose a way to die, it would be just the way it really was.
 * About John Entwistle's death, due to long time cocaine abuse.

 * From The Kids are Alright documentary:
 * Daltrey: “I mean one main ambition now is to get back on the road with the horrible Who: the worst rock & roll group in the world”
 * Interviewer: "The worst?"
 * Daltrey: (laughs) "Yes! You couldn’t pick more, four more horrible geezers that make more… I mean, make the worst noise that you ever heard in your life”.

 * What's it got to do with the rock business?
 * Response when asked if Brexit was going to be bad for British rock music (17 March 2019)

 * The deal done with the EU has a gaping hole where the promised free movement for musicians should be. Everyone on a European music tour will now need costly work permits for many countries they visit and a mountain of paperwork for their equipment.
 * Open letter to the UK government, co-signed by Daltrey, asking for exemption from the consequences of Brexit (20 January 2021)

Song lyrics
All songs written by Pete Townshend, except where noted.

Singles

 * Got a feeling inside. Can't explain. It's a certain kind. Can't explain. I feel hot and cold. Can't explain. Way down in my soul, yeah. Can't explain.
 * I Can't Explain (1964).

 * I can go anyway, way I choose I can live anyhow, win or lose. I can go anywhere, for something new. Anyway, anyhow, anywhere I choose. I can do anything, right or wrong I can talk anyhow, and get along. Don't care anyway, I never lose Anyway, anyhow, anywhere I choose.
 * Anyway, written by Pete Townsend and Roger Daltrey (1965).

 * You think we look pretty good together; You think my shoes are made of leather. But I'm a substitute for another guy. I look pretty tall but my heels are high. The simple things you see are all complicated; I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah.
 * Substitute (1966).

 * I'm a boy, I'm a boy, But my ma won't admit it. I'm a boy, I'm a boy, But if I say I am, I get it.
 * I'm a Boy (1966).

 * Pictures of Lily made my life so wonderful. Pictures of Lily let me sleep at night. Pictures of Lily solved my childhood problems. Pictures of Lily make me feel alright.
 * Pictures of Lily (1967).

 * Every day I get in the queue (Too much, Magic Bus) To get on the bus that takes me to you (Too much, Magic Bus) I'm so nervous, I just sit and smile (Too much, Magic Bus) Your house is only another mile (Too much, Magic Bus)
 * Magic Bus (1968).

 * They call me The Seeker; I've been searching low and high. I won't get to get what I'm after, Till the day I die.
 * The Seeker (1970).

 * Long live rock, I need it every night. Long live rock, come on and join the line. Long live rock, be it dead or alive.
 * Long Live Rock (1972).

 * Do you really think I care, What you read or what you wear? I want you to join together with the band. There's a million ways to laugh, And every one's a path. Come on and join together with the band.
 * Join Together (1972).

 * You can hear it in the street, See it in the dragging feet. The word is getting out about control. Spies they've come and gone, The story travels on. The only quiet place is inside your soul. From tree to tree, From you to me, Travelling twice as fast as on any freeway. Every single dream wrapped up in the scheme, They all get carried on the relay. Pass it on.
 * Relay (1972).

My Generation (1965)

 * People try to put us d-down (Talkin' 'bout my generation) Just because we get around. (Talkin' 'bout my generation) Things they do look awful c-c-cold (Talkin' 'bout my generation) I hope I die before I get old.(Talkin' 'bout my generation)
 * My Generation.

 * I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl; That's fine, I know them all pretty well. But I know sometimes I must get out in the light. Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright. The kids are alright.
 * The Kids Are Alright (song).

A Quick One (1966)

 * Look, he's crawling up my wall, Black and hairy, very small. Now he's up above my head, Hanging by a little thread. Boris the spider. Boris the spider.
 * Boris the Spider, written by John Entwistle

 * The kids couldn't hurt Jack. They tried and tried and tried. They dropped things on his back, And lied and lied and lied and lied and lied. But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping. And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy.
 * Happy Jack.

The Who Sell Out (1967)

 * If you think that I don't know about the little tricks you've played, And never see you when deliberately you put things in my way. Well, here's a poke at you, You're gonna choke on it too. You're gonna lose that smile, Because all the while, I can see for miles and miles. I can see for miles and miles.
 * I Can See for Miles.

Tommy (1969)

 * Ever since I was a young boy, I've played the silver ball. From Soho down to Brighton, I must have played them all. But I ain't seen nothing like him In any amusement hall That deaf, dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pinball.
 * Pinball Wizard.

 * I'm free-I'm free. And freedom tastes of reality. I'm free-I'm free. And I'm waiting for you to follow me.
 * I'm Free.

 * We're not gonna take it, Never did and never will. Don't want no religion; And as far as we can tell, We ain't gonna take you, Never did and never will. We're not gonna take you. We forsake you, Gonna rape you, Let's forget you better still.
 * We're Not Gonna Take It.

 * See Me; Feel Me. Touch Me; Heal Me. Listening to you, I get the music. Gazing at you, I get the heat. Following you, I climb the mountain, I get excitement at your feet. Right behind you, I see the millions. On you, I see the glory; From you, I get opinion; From you, I get the story.
 * See Me, Feel Me.

Who's Next (1971)

 * Out here in the fields, I fight for my meals. I get my back into my living. I don't need to fight To prove I'm right. I don't need to be forgiven. Don't cry; Don't raise your eyes; It's only teenage wasteland.
 * Baba O'Riley.

 * I'd gladly lose me to find you. I'd gladly give up all I had To find you I'd suffer anything and be glad. I'd pay any price just to get you. I'd work all my life and I will To win you I'd stand naked, stoned and stabbed. I'd call that a bargain, The best I ever had.
 * Bargain.

 * I'll sing my song to the wide open spaces. I'll sing my heart out to the infinite sea. I'll sing my visions to the sky high mountains. I'll sing my song to the free, to the free.
 * The Song Is Over.

 * I'm goin' home, And when I wanna go home, I'm goin' mobile. Well, I'm gonna find a home And we'll see how it feels. Goin' mobile, Keep me movin'.
 * Going Mobile
 * No one knows what it's like To be the bad man; To be the sad man Behind blue eyes. No one knows what it's like To be hated; To be fated, To telling only lies. But my dreams They aren't as empty As my conscience seems to be. I have hours, only lonely My love is vengeance That's never free.
 * Behind Blue Eyes.

 * If I swallow anything evil, Put your finger down my throat. If I shiver, please give me a blanket; Keep me warm, let me wear your coat.
 * Behind Blue Eyes.

 * We'll be fighting in the streets With our children at our feet. And the morals that they worship will be gone And the men who spurred us on Sit in judgement of all wrong. They decide and the shotgun sings the song. I'll tip my hat to the new constitution; Take a bow for the new revolution. Smile and grin at the change all around. Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday. Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again.
 * Won't Get Fooled Again.

 * Meet the new boss Same as the old boss.
 * Won't Get Fooled Again.

Quadrophenia (1973)

 * Inside outside, Leave me alone. Inside outside, Nowhere is home. Inside outside, Where have I been? Out of my brain On the five fifteen! Out of my brain on the train.
 * 5.15.

 * Only love Can make it rain The way the beach is kissed by the sea. Only love Can make it rain Like the sweat of lovers' Laying in the fields. Love, reign o'er me. Love, reign o'er me, rain on me.
 * Love, Reign o'er Me.

The Who by Numbers (1975)

 * Mama's got a squeeze box She wears on her chest And when Daddy comes home He never gets no rest. 'Cause she's playing all night And the music's all right. Mama's got a squeeze box, Daddy never sleeps at night.
 * Squeeze Box.

Who Are You (1978)

 * I woke up in a Soho doorway, A policeman knew my name. He said "You can go sleep at home tonight If you can get up and walk away." I staggered back to the underground And the breeze blew back my hair. I remember throwin' punches around And preachin' from my chair. Well, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?) I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
 * Who Are You.

Face Dances (1981)

 * I call you on the telephone my voice too rough with cigarettes. I sometimes think I should just go home but I'm dealing with a memory that never forgets. I love to hear you say my name especially when you say yes. I got your body right now on my mind and I drunk myself b-lind to the sound of old T-Rex. To the sound of old T-Rex - And Who's Next. When I say I love you you say you better; You better you better you bet. When I say I need you you say you better; You better you better you bet. You better bet your life. Or love will cut you like a knife.
 * You Better You Bet.

It's Hard (1982)

About The Who

 * … one of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time.

 * … among the most popular and influential bands of the 1960s and '70s…

 * The Who quite possibly remain the greatest live band ever.

 * More than any other band, The Who are our role models.

 * The one thing that disgusts me about The Who is the way they smashed through every door in the uncharted hallway of rock 'n' roll without leaving much more than some debris for the rest of us to lay claim to.

 * The group's evolution has also been a function of Townshend's personal growth: "Look, rock and roll is above all an expression of the frustrations of youth. Well, this is 1969, I'm an adult, I don't have the same frustrations anymore. My concerns now are mainly spiritual." Nevertheless, the Who remain the Who, and at the core of their music, however spiritualized, is rock-and-roll. They look all white, but their dad was black. They are no longer kids, but they have not forgotten.
 * Ellen Willis The Who Sell July 1969 in Beginning to See the Light: Pieces of a Decade (1981)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications.

I recommend you to put a link on your user page to your past contribs as anon, it might be helpful in some cases. If you put information (till July 5, 2005) like that, you can prevent misattribution of other edits from the same IP address. See you later on Talk:Ali Sina.--Aphaia 5 July 2005 09:14 (UTC)

Hi. Please notice that you consistently remove the formatting on Ali Sina, making it much less readable. Please take care to use correct formatting, and to change the formatting of your additions. Specifically: use correct sections, "Sourced", "Attributed", "About ...". These things allow wikiquote to have a consistent look and feel. Thank you for your efforts ~ MosheZadka (Talk) 7 July 2005 08:42 (UTC)

Talk:Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington

I've edited the "won on the playing fields of eton" quote to unfounded. The Dukes of Wellington have denied the quote and its first use appears so long afterwards events and in a French source (Montalenbert 1856) it's difficult to give it any credibility. No accademic source can site a genuine providance.

Give me night or give me Blucher
I have altered the quote "Either night or the Prussians will come." (Said during the thick of the Battle of Waterloo, as quoted in The True Issue, and the Duty of the Whigs: An Address Before the Citizens of Cambridge (1856) by Joel Parker, p. 26)

to "Give me night or give me Blucher" (Prayer during Battle of Waterloo at about 5.45 pm on 18 June. The Military Maxims of Napoleon by Napoleon Bonaparte, David G. Chandler, William E. Cairnes ,p. 143)

Although, the first quote is considered correct, Joel Parker states that Wellington is to have said:"Give me night or give me Blucher". However, Joel Parker was a politician and not an historian, furthermore, his assertion came 40 years after the event and at a political rally. It is, therefore,more likely to be more of a paraphrasing than that of the The Military Maxims of Napoleon. The quote is sometimes given the other in the reverse: "Give me Blucher or give me night" but of the sources I could find the above seemed the most reliable. --Philip Baird Shearer 12:35, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Sparrowhawks
Did he give this advice to Queen Victoria when asked about ridding the Crystal Palace glass house of sparrows? I was told this at school, but I'm not sure now because I was also told the "won on the playing fields of Eton". This is quoted in the main Wikipedia entry on Wellington, as an example of his concise and terse manner. I don't think it's in dispute. Personally I'm looking for verification of the oft quoted letter to the War Office. I'll put it here on the discussion page just for amusement value

Letter from the Duke of Wellington dispatched from Spain in Aug 1812:

Gentlemen,

Whilst marching from Portugal to a position which commands the approach to Madrid and the French forces, my officers have been diligently complying with your requests which have been sent by H.M. ship from London to Lisbon and thence by dispatch to our headquarters. We have enumerated our saddles, bridles, tents and tent poles, and all manner of sundry items for which His Majesty's Government holds me accountable. I have dispatched reports on the character, wit, and spleen of every officer. Each item and every farthing has been accounted for, with two regrettable exceptions for which I beg your indulgence.

Unfortunately the sum of one shilling and ninepence remains unaccounted for in one infantry battalion's petty cash and there has been a hideous confusion as the the number of jars of raspberry jam issued to one cavalry regiment during a sandstorm in western Spain. This reprehensible carelessness may be related to the pressure of circumstance, since we are war with France, a fact which may come as a bit of a surprise to you gentlemen in Whitehall.

This brings me to my present purpose, which is to request elucidation of my instructions from His Majesty's Government so that I may better understand why I am dragging an army over these barren plains. I construe that perforce it must be one of two alternative duties, as given below. I shall pursue either one with the best of my ability, but I cannot do both:

1. To train an army of uniformed British clerks in Spain for the benefit of the accountants and copy-boys in London or, perchance,

2. To see to it that the forces of Napoleon are driven out of Spain.

Your most obedient servant,

Wellington

Talk:Abortion/Headings4a

Quotes on Abortion.

Pro-Choice

 * This section is for quotations that indicate opposition to legal penalties against abortion

 * If you look at the issue, you'll see that this isn't about the children. There are children starving in the sewers of Persia.  There are babies in the AIDS wards, chucked out into the streets like … cabbage.  If this were really about the children, they'd be doing something about the children that are already here.  I don't play that game.
 * Tori Amos

 * The states are not free, under the guise of protecting maternal health or potential life, to intimidate women into continuing pregnancies.
 * Harry Blackmun, majority opinion in Roe v. Wade, January 22, 1973

 * People say 'life begins at conception.' I say life began about about a billion years ago and it's a continuous process.
 * Why is it that most of the people who are against abortion are people you wouldn't want to fuck in the first place?
 * Why is it that when it's us, it's an 'abortion' and when it's chicken it's an 'omelette'? Are we so much better than chickens all of a sudden?
 * George Carlin

 * My friend, O' Lordy Went to take care of her own body She got shot down in the road She looked up before she went She said "This isn't really what I meant" And the daily news said "2 with 1 stone".
 * Sheryl Crow, Hard to Make a Stand

 * Abortion opponents love little babies as long as they are in someone else's uterus.
 * Joycelyn Elders, former U.S. Surgeon General

 * Abortion is an integral part of family planning. Theoretically this means abortions at any stage of gestation. Therefore I favor the availability of abortion beyond 20 weeks.
 * Dr. David Grundmann, discussing his abortion practice in a 1994 paper Abortion After Twenty Weeks in Clinical Practice: Practical, Ethical and Legal Issues

 * If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament.
 * Florynce Kennedy

 * We lived our dreams and challenged fate In tears she told me she was late Then Sally let his pigeons out to fly She left one night with just a nod Was lost in some back alley job I close my eyes and Sally's pigeons fly.
 * Cyndi Lauper, Sally's Pigeons

 * In the case of an unwanted pregnancy, the existential choice for a woman is not abortion vs. no abortion, but, as Garrett Hardin has pointed out, abortion vs. compulsory childbearing. (See his Mandatory Motherhood for a biologist's look at the case for abortion.) If others can force her to be a mother... then she is coerced into putting her body at the disposal of the fetus as if she were an unclaimed natural resource or a chattel slave.... Thus, the woman's most fundamental right of choice, the right to control her own body and happiness, is being abrogated.
 * Sharon Presley and Robert Cooke,

 * Never mind the vicious nonsense of claiming that an embryo has a 'right to life.' A piece of protoplasm has no rights— and no life in the human sense of the term.  One may argue about the later stages of a pregnancy, but the essential issue concerns only the first three months.  To equate a potential with an actual, is vicious; to advocate the sacrifice of the latter to the former, is unspeakable.
 * Ayn Rand

 * And since a man can't make one He has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one
 * Tupac, Keep Ya Head Up

Anti-Abortion
This section is for statements indicating opposition to abortion, and to it being a legally available option.

 * Guilty? Yes. No matter what the motive, love of ease, or a desire to save from suffering the unborn innocent, the woman is awfully guilty who commits the deed. It will burden her conscience in life, it will burden her soul in death; But oh, thrice guilty is he who drove her to the desperation which impelled her to the crime!
 * Susan B. Anthony, early feminist

 * When we look to the unborn child, the real issue is not when life begins, but when love begins.
 * Robert Casey

 * If Americans support abortion, let's vote. . . .Liberals' only remaining big issue is abortion because of their beloved sexual revolution. That's their cause: Spreading anarchy and polymorphous perversity. Abortion permits that.
 * Ann Coulter

 * Taxes are like abortion, and not just because both are grotesque procedures supported by Democrats. You're for them or against them. Taxes go up or down; government raises taxes or lowers them. But Democrats will not let the words 'abortion' or 'tax hikes' pass their lips.
 * Ann Coulter

 * Life is the division of human cells, a process that begins with conception.... The [Supreme Court's abortion] ruling was unjust, and it is incumbent on the Congress to correct the injustice. . . . I have always been supportive of pro-life legislation. I intend to remain steadfast on this issue.... I believe that the life of the unborn should be protected at all costs.
 * Richard Gephardt, as a member of the US Congress in 1984; now in favor of legal abortion.

 * During my 11 years in congress, I have consistently opposed federal funding for abortions. In my opinion, it is wrong to spend federal funds for what is arguably taking of a human life. Let me assure you that I share your belief that innocent human life must be protected, and I am committed to furthering this goal.
 * Al Gore, letter to constituent while serving in the US Congress in 1987; now in favor of legal abortion.

 * The early feminists found abortion to be the ultimate exploitation of women. . . .[women had to become] men to compete. . . . We bought into that. We're smarter today. . . . It's more empowering to go through with your pregnancy.
 * Patricia Heaton, star of Everybody Loves Raymond

 * I will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgement and never do harm to anyone. To please no one will I prescribe a deadly drug nor give advice which may cause his death. Nor will I give a woman a pessary to procure abortion. But I will preserve the purity of my life and my art.... If I keep this oath faithfully, may I enjoy my life and practice my art, respected by all men and in all times; but if I swerve from it or violate it, may the reverse be my lot.
 * Hippocratic Oath, attributed to the school of Hippocrates.

 * There are those who argue that the right to privacy is of [a] higher order than the right to life ... That was the premise of slavery. You could not protest the existence or treatment of slaves on the plantation because that was private and therefore outside your right to be concerned.
 * Jesse Jackson, civil rights activist in 1977; now in favor of legal abortion.

 * What happens to the mind of a person, and the moral fabric of a nation, that accepts the aborting of the life of a baby without a pang of conscience? What kind of a person and what kind of a society will we have 20 years hence if life can be taken so casually? . . . Failure to answer that question affirmatively may leave us with a hell right here on earth.
 * Jesse Jackson, civil rights activist in 1977; now in favor of legal abortion.

 * If something can be dehumanized through the rhetoric used to describe it, then the major battle has been won. . . . That is why the Constitution called us three-fifths human and then whites further dehumanized us by calling us 'niggers.' It was part of the dehumanizing process. The first step was to distort the image of us as human beings in. order to justify that which they wanted to do and not even feel like they had done anything wrong. Those advocates of taking life prior to birth do not call it killing or murder; they call it abortion. They further never talk about aborting a baby because that would imply something human. Rather they talk about aborting the fetus. Fetus sounds less than human and therefore can be justified.
 * Jesse Jackson, civil rights activist in 1977; now in favor of legal abortion.

 * America: if you want peace, work for justice, if you want justice, defend life!
 * Pope John Paul II

 * I believe that human life, even at its earliest stages, has certain rights which must be recognized— the right to be born, the right to love, the right to grow old. . . . When history looks back to this era it should recognize this generation as one which cared about human beings enough to halt the practice of war, to provide a decent living for every family and to fulfill its responsibility to its children from the very moment of conception.
 * Edward Kennedy, as a US Senator in 1971; now in favor of legal abortion.

 * TO THOSE WHO WERE ROBBED OF LIFE: the unborn, the weak, the sick, the old, during the Dark Ages of madness, selfishness, lust and greed for which the last decades of the twentieth century are remembered...
 * C. Everett Koop, former U.S. Surgeon General

 * A feminazi is a woman to whom the most important thing in life is seeing to it that as many abortions as possible are performed.
 * Rush Limbaugh

 * One of my most important activities is . . . . to work for the reversal of the Roe vs. Wade decision. . . . The approach we are taking is to show that the lives and rights of women have not been advanced or enhanced, but rather destroyed, by abortion-on-demand. We are collecting affidavits from women who have been harmed by abortion, from women who are convinced that authentic feminism is pro-life, and from professionals who know that Roe has weakened the moral fabric of the legal and medical professions.
 * Norma McCorvey, the Jane Roe of Roe vs. Wade

 * We should not be surprised at the epidemic of child abuse. Obviously there is a connection between what we can do to a baby in the first nine months of life in the womb, and thereafter.
 * Paul Ramsey, Princeton Ethicist

 * We cannot diminish the value of one category of human life—the unborn—without diminishing the value of all human life.
 * Ronald Reagan

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

 * After tens of millions of [abortion] 'procedures', has America lost anything? Another Edison, perhaps?  A Gershwin?  A Babe Ruth?  A Duke Ellington? … As it is, we will never know what abortion has cost us all.
 * Joseph Sobran, editorial columnist

 * If we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people to not kill each other? Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want.
 * Mother Teresa

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

 * Abortion and euthanasia have become preeminent threats to human dignity because they directly attack life itself, the most fundamental human good and the condition for all others. They are committed against those who are weakest and most defenseless, those who are genuinely "the poorest of the poor." They are endorsed increasingly without the veil of euphemism, as supporters of abortion and euthanasia freely concede these are killing even as they promote them. Sadly, they are practiced in those communities which ordinarily provide a safe haven for the weak— the family and the healing professions. Such direct attacks on human life, once crimes, are today legitimized by governments sworn to protect the weak and marginalized.
 * Living the Gospel of Life: A Challenge to American Catholics, U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, 1998

 * Abortion and infanticide are unspeakable crimes.
 * Gaudiem et Spes [Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World], Vatican II, 1965

 * Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying: 'Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations'.
 * The Bible [Jeremiah 1:4-5]

 * Then said Mary unto the angel, "How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?" And the angel answered and said unto her, "The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy Thing Which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age:  and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. For with God nothing shall be impossible." And Mary said, "Behold the handmaid of the Lord;  be it unto me according to thy word." And the angel departed from her. And Mary arose in those days (of Herod), and went into the hill country with haste into a city of Juda; And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit: And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, "Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord."
 * The Bible [Luke 1:34-45] (An account of two pregnancies, one early in life and one late. Mary went immediately to Elisabeth [said to be a one to two day journey back then] after telling the angel "be it unto me according to thy word" and already He was recognized not only by Elisabeth, calling Him "my Lord", but by her unborn child, the "babe", John the Baptist, knowingly leaping in reaction to His presence.  Here we have an account of two unborn children, one six months and the other only one or two days from conception, reported as communicating with each other).

 * Dr. LeRoy Carhart, testifying to Congress about his "partial-birth abortion" practice

 * And I'll be quite frank: most of my abortions are elective in that 20-24 week range. . . .In my particular case, probably 20% are for genetic reasons. And the other 80% are purely elective.
 * Dr. Martin Haskell, inventor of the "partial-birth abortion"

 * Reporter: Let's talk first about whether or not the fetus is dead beforehand.... Haskell: No, it's not. No, it's really not....In my case, probably about a third of those are definitely are [sic] dead before I actually start to remove the fetus. And probably the other two-thirds are not.

 * All plucked flowers and carrots are untimely ripped. All scotched weeds or cadaver eating are abortions.

 * I have a different stance on abortion: I'm against abortion, but for killing babies. That way everyone loses, and I win.  I'm neither pro choice, nor pro life; I'm pro you-shutting-the-hell-up.  The only way I'd be "pro choice" is if it meant I could choose which babies I could abort, and only then if I could lift the age restriction to 80.

 * McCAIN: So, in other words, your position is that you believe there’s an exemption for rape, incest and the life of the mother, but you want the platform that you’re supposed to be leading to have no exemption. Help me out there, will you?
 * BUSH: I will. The platform doesn’t talk about what specifically should be in the constitutional amendment. The platform speaks about a constitutional amendment. It doesn’t refer to how that constitutional amendment ought to be defined.
 * McCAIN: If you read the platform, it has no exceptions.
 * BUSH: John, I think we need to keep the platform the way it is. This is a pro-life party.
 * McCAIN: Then you are contradicting your platform.

COMMENT: I had actually begun several times to create a page that would accomodate the quotations that 214.13.4.151 added in what might be an acceptable section structure for everyone, but abandoned the efforts amidst all the commotion and revisions. One of the worst problems with major revisions and restructuring, especially on a contentious subject, is that it becomes very difficult to see exactly what was added, deleted, or simply moved, whether deliberately or inadvertently. Other duties and activities elsewhere and edits by others here at Wikiquote interrupted my attempts. This latest effort works from the revision 214.13.4.151 made as of 03:39, 4 July 2005. It amends or adds a few comments, but does not delete any quotes, adds a few, and moves some very definite statements against abortion into their proper category regardless of what positions the speaker might have subsequently chosen. On this particularly controversial subject I strongly believe the statement itself should provide the criterion of where it is placed, not any subsequent or previous views expressed by whoever made them. ~ Kalki 5 July 2005 13:35 (UTC)

I here retained the footnote structure that 214.13.4.151 had added, but I generally prefer such notes and links to be provided in the sections with the orginal quotations, rather than creating a seperate footnote section. On "Theme page" attribution-credits I also generally favor having this brief " ~ NAME" structure rather than a separate double asterisk "**" line below the quote, as is more common on pages for individual authors or works, where more extensive comments are sometimes appropriate. I thus have a slight preference for Talk:Abortion/Headings4b over this page. ~ Kalki 5 July 2005 14:01 (UTC)

Quotes on Abortion.

Pro-Choice

 * This section is for quotations that indicate opposition to legal penalties against abortion

 * If you look at the issue, you'll see that this isn't about the children. There are children starving in the sewers of Persia. There are babies in the AIDS wards, chucked out into the streets like … cabbage. If this were really about the children, they'd be doing something about the children that are already here. I don't play that game. ~ Tori Amos

 * The states are not free, under the guise of protecting maternal health or potential life, to intimidate women into continuing pregnancies. ~ Harry Blackmun, majority opinion in Roe v. Wade, January 22, 1973

 * People say 'life begins at conception.' I say life began about about a billion years ago and it's a continuous process. ~ George Carlin
 * Why is it that most of the people who are against abortion are people you wouldn't want to fuck in the first place? ~ George Carlin
 * Why is it that when it's us, it's an 'abortion' and when it's chicken it's an 'omelette'? Are we so much better than chickens all of a sudden? ~ George Carlin

 * My friend, O' Lordy Went to take care of her own body She got shot down in the road She looked up before she went She said "This isn't really what I meant" And the daily news said "2 with 1 stone". ~ Sheryl Crow, Hard to Make a Stand

 * Abortion opponents love little babies as long as they are in someone else's uterus. ~ Joycelyn Elders, former U.S. Surgeon General

 * Abortion is an integral part of family planning. Theoretically this means abortions at any stage of gestation. Therefore I favor the availability of abortion beyond 20 weeks. ~ Dr. David Grundmann, discussing his abortion practice in a 1994 paper Abortion After Twenty Weeks in Clinical Practice: Practical, Ethical and Legal Issues

 * If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament. ~ Florynce Kennedy

 * We lived our dreams and challenged fate In tears she told me she was late Then Sally let his pigeons out to fly She left one night with just a nod Was lost in some back alley job I close my eyes and Sally's pigeons fly. ~ Cyndi Lauper, Sally's Pigeons

 * In the case of an unwanted pregnancy, the existential choice for a woman is not abortion vs. no abortion, but, as Garrett Hardin has pointed out, abortion vs. compulsory childbearing. (See his Mandatory Motherhood for a biologist's look at the case for abortion.) If others can force her to be a mother... then she is coerced into putting her body at the disposal of the fetus as if she were an unclaimed natural resource or a chattel slave.... Thus, the woman's most fundamental right of choice, the right to control her own body and happiness, is being abrogated. ~ Sharon Presley and Robert Cooke,

 * Never mind the vicious nonsense of claiming that an embryo has a 'right to life.' A piece of protoplasm has no rights— and no life in the human sense of the term. One may argue about the later stages of a pregnancy, but the essential issue concerns only the first three months. To equate a potential with an actual, is vicious; to advocate the sacrifice of the latter to the former, is unspeakable. ~ Ayn Rand

 * And since a man can't make one He has no right to tell a woman when and where to create one ~ Tupac, Keep Ya Head Up

Anti-Abortion
This section is for statements indicating opposition to abortion, and to it being a legally available option.

 * Guilty? Yes. No matter what the motive, love of ease, or a desire to save from suffering the unborn innocent, the woman is awfully guilty who commits the deed. It will burden her conscience in life, it will burden her soul in death; But oh, thrice guilty is he who drove her to the desperation which impelled her to the crime! ~ Susan B. Anthony, early feminist

 * When we look to the unborn child, the real issue is not when life begins, but when love begins. ~ Robert Casey

 * If Americans support abortion, let's vote. . . .Liberals' only remaining big issue is abortion because of their beloved sexual revolution. That's their cause: Spreading anarchy and polymorphous perversity. Abortion permits that. ~ Ann Coulter

 * Taxes are like abortion, and not just because both are grotesque procedures supported by Democrats. You're for them or against them. Taxes go up or down; government raises taxes or lowers them. But Democrats will not let the words 'abortion' or 'tax hikes' pass their lips. ~ Ann Coulter

 * Life is the division of human cells, a process that begins with conception.... The [Supreme Court's abortion] ruling was unjust, and it is incumbent on the Congress to correct the injustice. . . . I have always been supportive of pro-life legislation. I intend to remain steadfast on this issue.... I believe that the life of the unborn should be protected at all costs. ~ Richard Gephardt, as a member of the US Congress in 1984; now in favor of legal abortion.

 * During my 11 years in congress, I have consistently opposed federal funding for abortions. In my opinion, it is wrong to spend federal funds for what is arguably taking of a human life. Let me assure you that I share your belief that innocent human life must be protected, and I am committed to furthering this goal. ~ Al Gore, letter to constituent while serving in the US Congress in 1987; now in favor of legal abortion.

 * The early feminists found abortion to be the ultimate exploitation of women. . . .[women had to become] men to compete. . . . We bought into that. We're smarter today. . . . It's more empowering to go through with your pregnancy. ~ Patricia Heaton, star of Everybody Loves Raymond

 * I will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgement and never do harm to anyone. To please no one will I prescribe a deadly drug nor give advice which may cause his death. Nor will I give a woman a pessary to procure abortion. But I will preserve the purity of my life and my art.... If I keep this oath faithfully, may I enjoy my life and practice my art, respected by all men and in all times; but if I swerve from it or violate it, may the reverse be my lot. ~ Hippocratic Oath, attributed to the school of Hippocrates.

 * There are those who argue that the right to privacy is of [a] higher order than the right to life ... That was the premise of slavery. You could not protest the existence or treatment of slaves on the plantation because that was private and therefore outside your right to be concerned. ~ Jesse Jackson, civil rights activist in 1977; now in favor of legal abortion.

 * What happens to the mind of a person, and the moral fabric of a nation, that accepts the aborting of the life of a baby without a pang of conscience? What kind of a person and what kind of a society will we have 20 years hence if life can be taken so casually? . . . Failure to answer that question affirmatively may leave us with a hell right here on earth. ~ Jesse Jackson, civil rights activist in 1977; now in favor of legal abortion.

 * If something can be dehumanized through the rhetoric used to describe it, then the major battle has been won. . . . That is why the Constitution called us three-fifths human and then whites further dehumanized us by calling us 'niggers.' It was part of the dehumanizing process. The first step was to distort the image of us as human beings in. order to justify that which they wanted to do and not even feel like they had done anything wrong. Those advocates of taking life prior to birth do not call it killing or murder; they call it abortion. They further never talk about aborting a baby because that would imply something human. Rather they talk about aborting the fetus. Fetus sounds less than human and therefore can be justified. ~ Jesse Jackson, civil rights activist in 1977; now in favor of legal abortion.

 * America: if you want peace, work for justice, if you want justice, defend life! ~ Pope John Paul II

 * I believe that human life, even at its earliest stages, has certain rights which must be recognized— the right to be born, the right to love, the right to grow old. . . . When history looks back to this era it should recognize this generation as one which cared about human beings enough to halt the practice of war, to provide a decent living for every family and to fulfill its responsibility to its children from the very moment of conception. ~ Edward Kennedy, as a US Senator in 1971; now in favor of legal abortion.

 * TO THOSE WHO WERE ROBBED OF LIFE: the unborn, the weak, the sick, the old, during the Dark Ages of madness, selfishness, lust and greed for which the last decades of the twentieth century are remembered... ~ C. Everett Koop, former U.S. Surgeon General

 * A feminazi is a woman to whom the most important thing in life is seeing to it that as many abortions as possible are performed. ~ Rush Limbaugh

 * One of my most important activities is . . . . to work for the reversal of the Roe vs. Wade decision. . . . The approach we are taking is to show that the lives and rights of women have not been advanced or enhanced, but rather destroyed, by abortion-on-demand. We are collecting affidavits from women who have been harmed by abortion, from women who are convinced that authentic feminism is pro-life, and from professionals who know that Roe has weakened the moral fabric of the legal and medical professions. ~ Norma McCorvey, the Jane Roe of Roe vs. Wade

 * We should not be surprised at the epidemic of child abuse. Obviously there is a connection between what we can do to a baby in the first nine months of life in the womb, and thereafter. ~ Paul Ramsey, Princeton Ethicist

 * We cannot diminish the value of one category of human life—the unborn—without diminishing the value of all human life. ~ Ronald Reagan

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

 * After tens of millions of [abortion] 'procedures', has America lost anything? Another Edison, perhaps? A Gershwin? A Babe Ruth? A Duke Ellington? … As it is, we will never know what abortion has cost us all. ~ Joseph Sobran, editorial columnist

 * If we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people to not kill each other? Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want. ~ Mother Teresa

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

 * Abortion and euthanasia have become preeminent threats to human dignity because they directly attack life itself, the most fundamental human good and the condition for all others. They are committed against those who are weakest and most defenseless, those who are genuinely "the poorest of the poor." They are endorsed increasingly without the veil of euphemism, as supporters of abortion and euthanasia freely concede these are killing even as they promote them. Sadly, they are practiced in those communities which ordinarily provide a safe haven for the weak— the family and the healing professions. Such direct attacks on human life, once crimes, are today legitimized by governments sworn to protect the weak and marginalized. ~ Living the Gospel of Life: A Challenge to American Catholics, U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, 1998

 * Abortion and infanticide are unspeakable crimes. ~ Gaudiem et Spes [Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World], Vatican II, 1965

 * Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying: 'Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations'. ~ The Bible [Jeremiah 1:4-5]

 * Then said Mary unto the angel, "How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?" And the angel answered and said unto her, "The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy Thing Which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren. For with God nothing shall be impossible." And Mary said, "Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word." And the angel departed from her. And Mary arose in those days (of Herod), and went into the hill country with haste into a city of Juda; And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit: And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, "Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord." ~ The Bible [Luke 1:34-45]
 * This is an account of two pregnancies, one early in life and one late. Mary went immediately to Elisabeth [said to be a one to two day journey back then] after telling the angel "be it unto me according to thy word" and already He was recognized not only by Elisabeth, calling Him "my Lord", but by her unborn child, the "babe", John the Baptist, knowingly leaping in reaction to His presence. Here we have an account of two unborn children, one six months and the other only one or two days from conception, reported as communicating with each other.

 * Abortion stops a beating heart. ~ Pro-Life Across America (attributed)

 * (I'd have a quote, except my parents aborted me) ~ The Sounds of Silence 2004

Anonymous

 * Abortion: ONE DEAD, ONE WOUNDED
 * Choose life. Your mother did.
 * Homicide should never be a choice.
 * I think It is very funny that every single person that agrees on abortion has already been born.
 * If it's not a child— you're not Pregnant!
 * It is statistically confirmed that the most dangerous place to be with in regard to the preservation of one's life is in the womb of a mother, who is being told that if she doesn't want her baby she can abort its life.
 * It's a Child— not a choice!
 * Respect the Dignity of Human Life— from Womb to Tomb.

Conditional opposition or support
This section is for quotations which indicate a rejection of absolute stances in either of the above categories

 * My own views on abortion— I'm not on either pole of that, and neither of the interest groups on either end of this issue would probably be comfortable with my views. ~ Stephen Harper, leader of the Conservative Party of Canada

 * I don't believe an Alliance government should sponsor legislation on abortion or a referendum on abortion. ~ Stephen Harper

 * I've been very clear in this campaign— I don't believe the party should have a position on abortion. ~ Stephen Harper

Indefinite
These statements, whatever the intent and opinions of the authors, make no declarations that can definitely be positioned in any of the above categories.

 * Neglect of an effective birth control policy is a never-failing source of poverty which, in turn, is the parent of revolution and crime. ~ Aristotle, Politics, circa. 350 BC

 * The fetuses are alive at the time of delivery . . . . very frequently there is [a heartbeat]. ~ Dr. LeRoy Carhart, testifying to Congress about his "partial-birth abortion" practice

 * And I'll be quite frank: most of my abortions are elective in that 20-24 week range. . . .In my particular case, probably 20% are for genetic reasons. And the other 80% are purely elective. ~ Dr. Martin Haskell, inventor of the "partial-birth abortion"

 * Reporter: Let's talk first about whether or not the fetus is dead beforehand.... Haskell: No, it's not. No, it's really not....In my case, probably about a third of those are definitely are [sic] dead before I actually start to remove the fetus. And probably the other two-thirds are not. ~ Dr. Martin Haskell, being interviewed about his "partial-birth abortion" practice

 * A person's a person, no mattter how small. ~ Horton Hears a Who, Dr. Seuss's (Theodor Seuss Geisel's) children's book on respecting others

 * First, do no harm. ~ Hippocrates of Cos, on the obligation of every physician

 * No one wants an abortion as she wants an ice cream cone or a Porsche. She wants an abortion as an animal, caught in a trap, wants to gnaw off its own leg. ~ Frederica Mathewes-Green

 * And, by the way, my belief is that if men were the ones getting pregnant, abortions would be easier to get than food poisoning in Moscow. ~ Dennis Miller

 * After 20 weeks, where it frankly is a child to me, I really agonize over it because the potential is so imminently there. I think, 'Gee, it's too bad that this child couldn't be adopted.' ~ Dr. James McMahon, discussing his abortion practice in the July 5, 1993 edition of American Medical News

 * All plucked flowers and carrots are untimely ripped. All scotched weeds or cadaver eating are abortions. ~ O Anna Niemus

 * I have a different stance on abortion: I'm against abortion, but for killing babies. That way everyone loses, and I win. I'm neither pro choice, nor pro life; I'm pro you-shutting-the-hell-up. The only way I'd be "pro choice" is if it meant I could choose which babies I could abort, and only then if I could lift the age restriction to 80. ~ George Ouzounian (Maddox)

 * Every sperm is sacred Every sperm is great If a sperm is wasted God gets quite irate. ~ Monty Python's The Meaning of Life

 * If men who are fighting hit a pregnant woman and she gives birth prematurely but there is no serious injury, the offender must be fined whatever the woman’s husband demands and the court allows. But if there is serious injury, you are to take life for life. ~ The Bible in [Exodus 21:22]

Dialogue
George W. Bush and John McCain, debating as candidates seeking the US Presidency:
 * McCAIN [to Bush]: Do you believe in the exemption, in the case of abortion, for rape, incest, and life of the mother?
 * BUSH: Yeah, I do.
 * McCain: [But you] support the pro-life plank [in the Republican Party platform]?
 * BUSH: I do.
 * McCAIN: So, in other words, your position is that you believe there’s an exemption for rape, incest and the life of the mother, but you want the platform that you’re supposed to be leading to have no exemption. Help me out there, will you?
 * BUSH: I will. The platform doesn’t talk about what specifically should be in the constitutional amendment. The platform speaks about a constitutional amendment. It doesn’t refer to how that constitutional amendment ought to be defined.
 * McCAIN: If you read the platform, it has no exceptions.
 * BUSH: John, I think we need to keep the platform the way it is. This is a pro-life party.
 * McCAIN: Then you are contradicting your platform.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Quoth. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Quoth~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:32, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Maynard James Keenan

Maynard James Keenan (born James Herbert Keenan on April 17, 1964) is an American rock singer, songwriter, musician, and producer. He has been a member of the band Tool since 1990 and was a member of the band A Perfect Circle from 1999 to 2005.

Quotes

 * Tool is not Slayer. I went to art school. I spent three years in the military. There's more to me than throwing devil horns.
 * Aidin Vaziri (January 2, 2009) "Maynard James Keenan: Hard rocker, winemaker. 5 Questions.", San Francisco Chronicle, p. E3.

 * I think there’s a reason why wine figures into so many religions. There’s something transcendent about it. It’s sort of the way that music is more than the sum of its parts. You have all these elements that make up the terroir that wine can communicate.
 * Matthew Lickona (December 24, 2008) "Hedonistic", San Diego Reader.

 * You can grow grapes in almost any part of the world. You just have to develop your palate enough to realize wine is an expression of the place where you make it. You don't have to take over the world; just be an artist and express your area.
 * George Varga (November 7, 2008) "Tool lead singer hits the right notes in the winemaking community", The San Diego Union-Tribune, p. E-1.

 * For the music, it’s not about the individual — so the more you let the music speak for yourself, the more powerful the music will be.
 * Carl Kozlowski (September 11, 2008) "Taste in the making: Tool’s Maynard James Keenan shifts his focus from writing dark lyrics to creating zesty wines", Pasadena Weekly. Southland Publishing.

 * It’s in my blood. My great-grandfather made wine and it’s a tradition I want to pass on to my son.
 * On his work with his vineyard in Northern Arizona and wine label of the same name, Caduceus — reported in Jon Dolan (August 2006) "33 Things You Should Know About Tool", Blender, Alpha Media Group Inc.

 * It's the role of us to run our government, the government by the people, for the people, and I don't think our government is listening to the people. It's our role as patriots to question them, because we elected them. And if they're not fairly and accurately representing us, it's the job of the people, the patriots, to take their country back.
 * George Varga (October 31, 2004) "Fired up and emoting on the state of politics, and more", The San Diego Union-Tribune, p. F-5.

 * Every now and then, you get people who tend to forget what this country is about, which is a melting pot of races and cultures and freedom of speech.
 * George Varga (October 25, 2001) "The Tool Man: Blistering band's frontman puts his mind to the world's problems", The San Diego Union-Tribune, p. 4.

 * The army influences everything I do. Certainly it teaches you discipline, which is a necessary element of development. I think there's more of a collaborative understanding in the band because of that.
 * Iain Shedden (July 20, 2001) "Tool a bigger `threat' than any rapper", The Australian, p. 10.

 * The process that we go through in recording with Tool is very organic, but at the same time it is very thought out. There is a very left-brain process of dissecting what we're doing and drawing from source material; it's very research oriented and esoteric.
 * Neil Strauss (March 29, 2000) "A brain comes full circle: Rock musician Maynard James Keenan, of the bands Tool and A Perfect Circle", The New York Times, p. B3.

 * One of my biggest heroes in music has been David Bowie. He's said, `I'm going to be a painter now, or I'm going to do some films,' and his audience is very forgiving, because they understand him as an artist. Whether you agree or like the result, you respect that he's expressing his artistic feelings.
 * The Record staff (March 22, 2000) "Music News & Notes", The Record, p. Y4.

 * It's a purging of sorts. Like, when you're all done doing your laundry and it's fresh and bright, but washing the clothes, you wouldn't want to get in while it's spinning around.
 * On why his band Tool is like a washing machine — reported in Jim Sullivan (July 4, 1997) "Lollapalooza Still Packs A Wallop", Boston Globe, p. D1.

 * You really should be able to feel the higher power of music and be moved by it, rather than listening to me waffle on and having to explain it.
 * Steve Morse ( November 15, 1996) "Sonic Evolution With the Use of Tool", Boston Globe, p. D14.
