Lennart Nilsson Quotes

I looked at a fetal development chart at the Operation Rescue Office in Dallas. I had a lot of emotions stirring up inside of me. That's when I decided that it was wrong in any stage of pregnancy.

Pregnancy is not a disease. The child in the womb is neither a tumor nor a parasite to be destroyed.

Everyone knows now how early a fetus becomes a baby. Women who have been pregnant have seen their babies on ultrasounds. They know that there is a terrible truth to those horrific pictures the anti-choice fanatics hold up in front of abortion clinics.

Abortion is never necessary to save a mother's life.

Unborn babies - that is, fetuses, embryos, and even 'zygotes' - are innocent human beings.

As an O.B. doctor of thirty years, and having delivered 4,000 babies, I can assure you life begins at conception.

We have the duty to protect the life of an unborn child.

There comes a time when a human being has to either face evil or admit to allowing it. Abortion is legal in the United States, but it should not be celebrated or used as a political tool. Viable babies are human beings.

In the case of abortion, one pits the life of the fetus against the interests of the pregnant woman.

You know, Hillary Clinton's always saying how Republicans don't follow science? Well, they're the ones not listening to the scientists today, because doctors say that at 20 weeks that is a viable life inside the womb. And at that point, it's a life that we have the right to protect, and I think we should protect.

I don't personally have a sense that life starts at conception. I don't personally have that sense.

We are learning more about the humanity of the unborn child. Science and truth support the prolife movement.

I think abortion is murder.

I mean, I do actually think there is a qualitative difference between aborting in the early part of the first trimester and in, you know, the middle or later part of the second trimester, in a way that you feel about it in that you grow attached.

Abortion is now safer for a woman than childbirth.

Partial Birth Abortion

No reasonable person denies that fetal life is life.

Many women have abortions out of love for their unborn fetus.

I’ve noticed that everybody that is for abortion has already been born.

Whether you are pro-choice or strongly pro-life, as I am, there should be common ground that abortion ceases to be an option when a baby can live outside the mother's womb or experience excruciating pain from a procedure.

Late-term abortions are unconscionable.

After the first trimester, I do think that there is some room for the government to intervene, because at that point, it is an unborn child that could be viable on its own.

The gross perversion and destruction of motherhood by the abortionist filled me with indignation, and awakened active antagonism. That the honorable term 'female physician' should be exclusively applied to those women who carried on this shocking trade seemed to me a horror. It was an utter degradation of what might and should become a noble position for women.

If you go with what Hillary [Clinton] is saying, in the ninth month, you can take the baby and rip the baby out of the womb of the mother just prior to the birth of the baby. Now, you can say that that's OK and Hillary can say that that's OK. But it's not OK with me, because based on what she's saying, and based on where she's going, and where she's been, you can take the baby and rip the baby out of the womb in the ninth month on the final day. And that's not acceptable.

I feel 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 can accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another? How do we persuade a woman not to have an abortion? As always, we must persuade her with love... And we remind ourselves that love means to be willing to give until it hurts.
