Abortion

Tuesday 21st of April 2026

Abortion During slavery, a lot of the slaveowners thought that they had the right to do whatever they wanted to that slave. Ben Carson, comparing women who have abortions to slaveowners © 2015 Kwiple.com
Abortion [E]vidence from national surveys shows that the odds of being against abortion under all circumstances with the only exception of rape or incest rises steadily as town size decreases, taking into account other differences due to age, gender, education, and region. Compared to cities of at least 250,000, the odds of opposing abortion in the smallest towns are more than three times higher. Robert Wuthnow, The Left Behind © 2018 Kwiple.com
Abortion For the Republicans,  the Supreme Court is all about abortions,  to which they remain staunchly opposed  right up to the moment their mistress gets pregnant. Bill Maher, Real Time With Bill Maher, July 6, 2018, alluding to Tim Murphy, the anti-abortion Republican congressman who was forced to resign in October, 2017, for asking his mistress to get an abortion after a pregnancy scare © 2018 Kwiple.com
Abortion How many of the women rallying against overturning Roe are over-educated, under-loved millennials who sadly return from protests to a lonely microwave dinner with their cats, and no bumble matches? Matt Gaetz, 6:20 AM – May 4, 2022, proving himself to be, yet again, a snarky asshole who knows nothing about the demographics of abortion in America or anything else he blathers on about, except sex trafficking young girls and driving while intoxicated © 2022 Kwiple.com
Abortion How's this for an ad? [for Democrats] Democrats support abortion. So do Republicans when they need one for their girlfriend. Bill Maher, Real Time with Bill Maher, March 16, 2018 © 2018 Kwiple.com
Abortion I think the majority of people in Michigan will be for abortion … well certainly in Michigan they'll vote for it because they think what's going to be aborted generally are the little black bastards. Richard Nixon © 2015 Kwiple.com
Abortion I've been to countries where governments either forced women to have abortions, like they used to do in China, or forced women to bear children, like they used to do in Romania. And I can tell you, the government has no business in the decisions that women make with their families, in accordance with their faith, with medical advice. Hillary Clinton © 2016 Kwiple.com
Abortion I would like to see it done in the right way. Ben Carson, who would like to make a public commitment to overturn Roe v. Wade , even in cases of incest or rape or when the mother's life or health is threatened, a prerequisite for being appointed to the Supreme Court © 2015 Kwiple.com
Abortion @IAHouseGOP just confirmed in committee that if a woman has a miscarriage after 20 weeks, she has to carry dead fetus to term @ProgressIowa, 6:40 PM – 29 Mar 2017, on a bill advanced by Republicans in the Iowa House of Representatives to ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy © 2017 Kwiple.com
Abortion If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament. popularized by Florynce Kennedy and Gloria Steinem, spoken to by a Boston woman cabdriver © 2015 Kwiple.com
Abortion If you don’t think abortion is an economic issue, you probably don’t have a uterus. Gretchen Whitmer © 2023 Kwiple.com
Abortion In Ho’s legal analogy, then, patients undergoing abortion are akin to damaged natural landscapes or wildlife sanctuaries. Antiabortion doctors, meanwhile, play the role of disappointed tourists. Rhonda Garelick, Los Angeles Times, August 22, 2023 © 2023 Kwiple.com
Abortion [I]t is notable that banning late-term abortion would have little impact on the roughly 630,000 abortions carried out in America each year. Only about 1% take place after 21 weeks. And they are often a response to the sorts of exceptional circumstances, including threats to the mother's life or abnormalities in the fetus, that existing state-level bans on late-term abortion, as well as public opinion, tend to allow. The main reason Mr Trump is harping on the issue is political. Economist, February 16, 22019 © 2018 Kwiple.com
Abortion Know what I like about 16? It’s even. It’s four months. Donald Trump, on why he supports a 16-week nationwide ban on abortion © 2024 Kwiple.com
Abortion Stare decisis,  the doctrine on which Casey's controlling opinion was based, does not compel adherence to Roe's abuse of judicial authority. Roe was egregiously wrong from the start. Its reasoning was exceptionally weak, and the decision has had damaging consequences. And far from bringing about a national settlement of the abortion issue, Roe and Casey have enflamed debate and deepened division. It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people's elected representatives. Samuel Alito, February 10, 2022, initial draft of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v Wade  © 2022 Kwiple.com
Abortion There are times when an abortion's necessary like when you have a black and a white. Richard Nixon © 2015 Kwiple.com
Abortion [T]here has to be some form of punishment [for the women]. Donald Trump © 2019 Kwiple.com
Abortion To construe abortion as a crime against the privilege of looking inside women [as judge James Ho does in defending  standing for antiabortion doctors trying to reverse mifepristone’s federal approval] is to construe them as objects offered up for the visual consumption, pleasure and, of course, control of others. Rhonda Garelick, Los Angeles Times, August 22, 2023 © 2023 Kwiple.com
Abortion To women like myself, they [abortion rights] are the bare minimum of human rights. To working-class women, who often see motherhood, not work, as the key source of social honor, obsession with abortion rights among well-off women is selfish, exemplifying lack of an adequate devotion to family. Seen in this light, opposition to abortion rights becomes, for high-school educated women, a way of claiming social honor. Joan C. Williams, The Guardian, August 23, 2017 © 2016 Kwiple.com
Abortion Unborn babies are a source of profound joy for those who view them. Expectant parents eagerly share ultrasound photos with loved ones. Friends and family cheer at the sight of an unborn child. Doctors delight in working with their unborn patients — and experience an aesthetic injury when they are aborted. James Ho — Federlist Society member, former clerk to Clarence Thomas, Trump-appointed judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit — affirming male antiabortion doctors' standing to sue to reverse mifepristone’s federal approval because they're harmed by being denied jollies from peering into pregnant women's wombs © 2023 Kwiple.com
Abortion We hold that Roe [v. Wade] and [Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pa. v. ] Casey must be overruled.  The Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implicitly protected by any constitutional provision, including the one on which the defenders of Roe and Casey now chiefly rely — the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. That provision has been held to guarantee some rights that are not mentioned in the Constitution, but any such right must be “deeply rooted in this Nation's history and tradition” and “implicit in the concept of ordered liberty.” Washington v. Glucksberg, 521 U. S. 702, 721 (1997) Samuel Alito, February 10, 2022, initial draft of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v Wade  © 2022 Kwiple.com
Abortion A woman who gave her name as Wilson died at Chippewa Falls from a criminal operation performed upon herself. Her parents live near Eau Claire . . . her brother took charge of her remains. The woman was young and pretty and visited every physician in Chippewa Falls to accomplish her object, but without success. Badger State Banner, April 6, 1893, quoted by Michael Lesy in Wisconsin Death Trip © 2024 Kwiple.com
Abortion Yeah, well, they'll perhaps have to go, they'll have to go to another state. Donald Trump, on what women wanting abortions may have to do after judges he appoints to the Supreme Court overturn Roe v. Wade, turning abortion law over to the states © 2016 Kwiple.com
 
Abortion You can take the baby and rip the baby out of the womb in the ninth month, on the final day. Donald Trump, describing what doesn't happen even in cases of late term abortion under current abortion laws © 2016 Kwiple.com
