Margaret Sanger, Founder of Planned Parenthood Quote
Margaret Sanger
Founder of Planned Parenthood
  • "The most merciful thing that a family does to one of its infant members is to kill it."
  • "The real hope of the world lies in putting as painstaking thought into the business of mating as we do into other big businesses."
  • "We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population... if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."
  • "We are failing to segregate morons who are increasing and multiplying... a dead weight of human waste... an ever-increasing spawning class of human beings who never should have been born at all."
Sallie Tisdale
Abortion clinic worker
  • "I am speaking in a matter-of-fact voice about 'the tissue' and 'the contents' when the woman suddenly catches my eye and says 'How big is the baby now?' These words suggest a quiet need for definition of the boundaries being drawn. It isn't so odd, after all, that she feels relief when I describe the growing buds bulbous shape, its miniature nature. Again, I gauge, and sometimes lie a little, weaseling around its infantile features until its clinging power slackens."
"We Do Abortions Here" Oct. 1987, Harpers Magazine, p. 68
Nina Whitten
Chief secretary at a Dallas abortion clinic
  • "I was trained by a professional marketing director in how to sell abortions over the telephone. He took every one of our receptionists, nurses, and anyone else who would deal with people over the phone through an extensive training period. The object was, when the girl called, to hook the sale so that she wouldn't get an abortion somewhere else, or adopt out her baby, or change her mind. We were doing it for the money."
Dr. Randall
Abortionist
  • "They [the women] are never allowed to look at the ultrasound because we knew that if they so much as heard the heart beat, they wouldn't want to have an abortion."

Quoted by John Rice in his book, Abortion Providers Discuss Their Feelings About Abortion
  • "The first time, I felt like a murderer, but I did it again and again and again, and now, 20 years later, I am facing what happened to me as a doctor and as a human being. Sure, I got hard. Sure, the money was important. And oh, it was an easy thing, once I had taken the step, to see the women as animals and the babies as just tissue."

Dora Greenwald, M.S.W.
Clinic worker
  • "The fetus actually looks like a baby, only it doesn't have any fat. We've noticed that very young patients are more apt to ask the sex, and be curious about what it looks like. We discourage it. And, we're supposed to have a policy that we're not going to tell the sex...."
Magda Denes, PhD. in Necessity and Sorrow: Life and Death Inside an Abortion Clinic. Basic Books, Inc.: New York, 1976, p. 77
Carol Everett
Former abortion clinic owner
  • "The product, abortion, is skillfully marketed and sold to the woman at the crisis time in her life. She buys the product, finds it defective and wants to return it for a refund. But, it's too late."
Lisa Fortier
Abortionist
  • "From a strict medical viewpoint, every pregnancy should be aborted."
