"I never have felt that any abortion should be committed - I think each abortion is the result of a series of errors..."
-stated
President Jimmy Carter to reporters at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in
Washington, DC, November 3, 2005, regarding his book, Our Enduring
Values-America's Moral Crisis.
President Carter continued:
"I've never been convinced, if you let me inject my Christianity into it, that Jesus Christ would approve abortion...
I have always thought it was not in the mainstream of the American public to be extremely liberal on many issues.
I think our party's leaders -some of them- are overemphasizing the abortion issue."
On JANUARY 22, 1973, the Supreme Court decisions of
Roe v. Wade and
Doe v. Bolton allowed abortion in all nine months of pregnancy.
23 years later, Norma McCorvey, who was the "Jane Roe" in the Roe v. Wade suit, was interviewed by
USA Today.
She stated that once, while employed at a clinic when no one was in:
"I
went into the procedure room and laid down on the table...trying to
imagine what it would be like having an abortion...I broke down and
cried."
On ABC's
World News Tonight, Norma McCorvey said:
"I think abortion's wrong. I think what I did with Roe v. Wade was wrong."
Mother
Teresa of Calcutta stated at the National Prayer Breakfast in
Washington, D.C., February 3, 1994, with Bill and Hillary Clinton in
attendance:
"The greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion,
because it is a war against the child, a direct killing of the innocent
child, murder by the mother herself,
and if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?..."

Mother Teresa added:
"Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use violence to get what they want.
That is why the greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion...
Many people are also concerned about all the violence in this great country of the United States...
But
often these same people are not concerned with the millions who are
being killed by the deliberate decision of their own mothers...
Jesus said, 'Anyone who receives a child in my name, receives me'...By aborting a child, a couple refuses to receive Jesus.
Please
don't kill the child...Give me the child. I am willing...to give that
child to a married couple who will love the child and be loved by the
child."
Mother Teresa continued:
"From our children's home in Calcutta alone, we have saved over 3,000 children from abortion....
America can become a sign of peace..."
Mother Teresa concluded:
"From
here, a sign of care for the weakest of the weak - the unborn child -
must go out to the world...then really you will be true to what the
founders of this country stood for."
Ronald Reagan wrote in his article, "Abortion and the Conscience of the Nation,"
The Human Life Review, 1983:
"Lincoln
recognized that we could not survive as a free land when some men could
decide that others were not fit to be free and should be slaves...
Likewise,
we cannot survive as a free nation when some men decide that others are
not fit to live and should be abandoned to abortion."
