I've never met anyone who has changed his mind or deepened his faith because he has been confronted with such angry condemnations.
In thirty-five years of medicine I have never seen one case where abortion was necessary to save a mother's life.
Protection of the life of the mother as an excuse for an abortion is a smoke screen. In my 36 years of pediatric surgery, I have never known of one instance where the child had to be aborted to save the mother's life. If toward the end of the pregnancy complications arise that threaten the mother's health, the doctor will induce labor or perform a Caesarean section. His intention is to save the life of both the mother and the baby. The baby's life is never willfully destroyed because the mother's life is in danger.

Health care is vital to all of us some of the time, but public health is vital to all of us all of the time
The American ideal is not that we all agree with each other, or even like each other, every minute of the day. It is rather that we will respect each other's rights, especially the right to be different, and that, at the end of the day, we will understand that we are one people, one country, and one community, and that our well-being is inextricably bound up with the well-being of each and every one of our fellow citizens.
Life affords no greater responsibility, no greater privilege, than the raising of the next generation
If there is a difference between what is said and what is done, only a fool believes what was said.
I believe in using words, not fists. I believe in my outrage knowing people are living in boxes on the street. I believe in honesty. I believe in a good time. I believe in good food. I believe in sex.
It's kind of like a midlife crisis kind of thing. When you turn 40, you have to run the marathon, while all the parts still work properly.
What makes bebop legitimate is the fact that when it was done, it was illegitimate.
