Mother Teresa:
"The greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion, which is war against the child. The mother
doesn't learn to love, but kills to solve her own problems. Any country that accepts abortion is not
teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want."
"The way to plan the family is natural family planning, not contraception...This {the use of
contraceptives} turns the attention to self and so it destroys the gift of love in him or her. In loving,
the husband and wife must turn the attention to each other as happens in natural family planning, and
not to self, as happens in contraception. Once that living love is destroyed by contraception, abortion
follows easily . . . And abortion, which often follows from contraception, brings a people to be
spiritually poor, and that is the worst poverty and the most difficult to overcome."

Pope John Paul II:
"America you are beautiful . . . and blessed . . . . The ultimate test of your greatness is the way you
treat every human being, but especially the weakest and most defenseless. If you want equal justice
for all and true freedom and lasting peace, then America, defend life."
Mel Gibson:
On a 1990 Barbara Walters TV special, Gibson stated his opposition to birth control, infidelity and
abortion. He said, "God is the only one who knows how many children we should have, and we
should be ready to accept them. One can't decide for oneself who comes into this world and who
doesn't. That decision doesn't belong to us."
Kathy Ireland says,
"I used to be pro-choice."
While appearing on the TV show "Politically Incorrect," Kathy Ireland participated in a debate about
abortion "rights" and whether or not Florida should approve "Choose Life" license plates. Kathy is
against abortion and she defended babies in the womb by saying: "I was once pro-choice and the
thing that changed my mind was, I read my husband's biology books, medical books, and what I
learned . . . At the moment of conception, a life starts. And this life has its own unique set of DNA,
which contains a blueprint for the whole genetic makeup. The sex is determined. We know there's a
life because it's growing and changing."
Brooke Shields, Actress and Supermodel:
"Too many people use abortion as a form of birth control. And that's very wrong. I could never, ever
have an abortion."

Brett Butler - Former Los Angeles Dodger Great:
"Making love is a wonderful thing between a husband and wife in marriage. God promises that He
will bless that relationship. The marriage relationship will not be as fulfilling if you don't abstain from
sex before marriage. There is a danger of bringing emotional scars into marriage if you have sex in
relationships prior to marriage."

Eric Clapton: Musician:
"It sounds strange for me to be saying this, but I've come around to the idea that sex really is for
procreation."

Dolores O'Riordan: Lead Vocalist, The Cranberries:
"It's not good for women to go through the procedure [abortion] and have something living sucked
out of their bodies. It belittles women. Even though some women say, 'Oh, I don't mind to have one,'
every time a woman has an abortion, it just crushes her self-esteem smaller and smaller and
smaller."
