Prochoice Quotes

“Your religion should help you make the decision if you find yourself in that situation, but the policy should exist for you to have the right to make it in the first place.

When you say you can't do something because your religion forbids it, that's a good thing. When you say I can't do something because YOUR religion forbids it, that's a problem.”
― Jodi Picoult, A Spark of Light

“The lie that abortion is murder is right-wing propaganda designed to demonize Democrats. Abortion is legal all over the world because a fetus without a cerebral cortex cannot think or feel before the 27th week. According to the CDC almost all abortions happen before the 13th week.”
― Oliver Markus Malloy, Inside The Mind of an Introvert: Comics, Deep Thoughts and Quotable Quotes

“Worse than aborting is birthing in instability.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hometown Human: To Live for Soil and Society

“Sonnet of Abortion

My body, my decision,
Whether I choose birth or abortion.
Till a state can care for the newborn,
No bill is qualified to offer resolution.
Instead of controlling my birth canal,
Work on carving a paradigm of equality.
Build a world where a newborn is a gift,
Not a burden on life, dream or economy.
Abolish all disparities born of greed,
Strip the wealthy of their ill-gotten riches.
Use all resources for collective welfare,
So that status ends up on history pages.
Worse than aborting is birthing in instability.
I'll give birth when I need not rely on pity.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hometown Human: To Live for Soil and Society

“Until the state or the church takes full responsibility for a newborn, no bill or bible is qualified to even offer suggestions on a woman's right to abortion.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hometown Human: To Live for Soil and Society

“There’s a reason they call childbirth labor. Making a healthy baby takes effort: It requires foresight and self-denial and courage. It’s expensive and demanding and tiring. You have to learn new things, change many habits, possibly deal with complicated medical situations, make difficult decisions, and undergo stressful ordeals. I had a wisdom tooth pulled without Novocaine while I was pregnant—it hurt a lot and seemed to go on forever. The kindness of the very young dental assistant, holding back my hair as I spat blood into a bowl, will stay with me for the rest of my life. Pregnant women do such things, and much harder things, all the time. For example, they give birth, which is somewhere on the scale between painful and excruciating. Or they have a cesarean, as I did, which is major surgery. None of this is without risk of death or damage or trauma, including psychological trauma. To force girls and women to undergo all this against their will is to annihilate their humanity. When they undertake it by choice, we should all be grateful.”
― Katha Pollitt, Pro: Reclaiming Abortion Rights

“If the Constitution doesn’t say anything about a woman’s right to abortion, I’m damn sure it doesn’t say anything about the rights of the unborn.”
― Israel Morrow, Gods of the Flesh: A Skeptic's Journey Through Sex, Politics and Religion

“If abortion is murder then blowjobs are cannibalism.”
― Oliver Markus Malloy, Inside The Mind of an Introvert: Comics, Deep Thoughts and Quotable Quotes

“Until the state or the church takes full responsibility for a newborn, without claiming custody, no bill or bible is qualified to even offer suggestions on a woman's right to abortion.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hometown Human: To Live for Soil and Society

“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

“So many times the debate of abortion turns to legality. The issue is not legality, the issue is morality. Have you not forgotten? It was legal for Adolf Hitler to place all of those men, women, and children in concentration camps and murder them. Abortion should never be an issue of legality, it is most definitely an issue of morality.”
― Derrick Sanderson

“Having the right to choose determines whether women will find an equal place at life’s table, whether children will be truly valued, and whether everyone’s personal liberties, privacy, and bodily integrity will be safeguarded against the ideology of the right.”
― Gloria Feldt

“If you're a pro-lifer, please remember: if life begins at conception, it sure as hell doesn't end at birth.”
― Quentin R. Bufogle

“- ...our bodies aren’t our own. They belong to society. We are tools of society, so if we don’t mate, we’ll be persecuted.
- But why? It’s my body!
- Because, those are the rules of the Factory. We are slaves to our genes.”
― Sayaka Murata

“To take choice out of pregnancy is to take the mother out of motherhood.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Ingan Impossible: Handbook of Hatebusting

“By one sentence do mass killings in the world and womb begin: “They don’t look like us and don’t act like us: they’re not human.”
― Agona Apell

“What makes you human without your limbs, human without your nose and toes -- what makes you human without your ears makes the unborn me human without your form”
― Agona Apell

“A baby dying in abortion wishes that mum and the doctor would come to its aid, little knowing that they are both around and direct the attack.”
― Agona Apell

“At twenty-three, she knows that people never cease being their parents’ children
even after they’re grown. That’s why
Sarah and her are always saying they want to be rich, hot, childless aunties whom all their nieces look up to. That way they
don’t have to risk the pain that comes with pulling smaller, more vulnerable people
from their insides and into a dying planet.”
― Megan Howell, Softie: Stories
