“ And those technologies, those apparatuses and machines which we now use everyday, have convinced us that, beyond question, the unborn child is simply another human being—another member of the human community—indistinguishable in every way from any of us.
Now, for the first time, we have the technology to see abortion from the victim’s vantage-point. Ultrasound imaging has allowed us to see this, and so, for the first time, we are going to watch a child being torn apart—dismembered—disarticulated—crushed—and destroyed by the unfeeling steel instruments of the abortionist.

“ Somehow, I refuse to believe that Americans, who have put men on the Moon, can’t devise a better solution than the resort to violence. I think we should all, here and now, devote ourselves to an untiring effort to devise a better solution—a solution compounded equally of love and compassion, and a decent regard for the overriding priority of human life. ”

“ I’m a physician, practicing obstetrician and gynecologist, and I think I’ve had a passing experience in matters of abortion. Now, when I was a medical student, in 1949, we had no such science as fetology. We were taught that the unborn child—the fetus—was something in the uterus, but it was really an article of faith as to whether or not it was a human being, and whether or not that human being had any unique, personal qualities. ”
