Quotes about Abortion

"Guilty? Yes. No matter what the motive, love of ease, or a desire to save from suffering the unborn innocent, the woman is awfully guilty who commits the deed. It will burden her conscience in life, it will burden her soul in death; But oh, thrice guilty is he who drove her to the desperation which impelled her to the crime!"
-Susan B. Anthony In her publication The Revolution

"You have to become a bit schizophrenic. In one room yoiu encourage the patient that the slight irregularity of the fetal heart is not important- that she is going to have a fine, healthy baby. Then in the next room, you assure another woman, on whom you just did a saline abortion, that its good that the heart is already irregular....she has nothing to worry about. She is NOT going to have a live baby......Somebody has to do it. Unfortunately, we are the executioners in this instance."
-Abortionist Dr. John Szenes.

"All I am saying is, why limit the killing to the womb? Nothing magical happens at birth. Of course, infanticide needs to be strictly legally controlled and rare - but it should not be ruled out, any more than abortion."
-Peter Singer

"A woman does not walk into an abortion clinic and say " I can not have this fetus." She says
" I can not have this baby"."
-Author Unknown

ABORTION!

With the arrival of the ship "Women on Waves" abortion has been thrust into the limelight once again. At this moment Abortion is illegal here in Portugal.

Abortion is one of those topics that leaves me confused. How people can on one hand argue the right to life of a serial killer, and on the other be prepared to condemn a life that hasn´t even had the chance to see the sun. Where does life start? A million dollar question. What is the diffrence between life at 1 week after birth and 1 week before birth? Does a baby born at 7 1/2 months have more rights than the same child still in the womb? And does the baby of 7 1/2 months have more right to life than a child of 5 months, 4months, 3months. Just where do we draw the line?

Shouldn´t we be out there fighting tooth and nail to force our goverments into providing conditions for all pregnant woman to have their babies.

And then I hear many screaming that a woman has the right to do with her body what she wants! Wrong. My rights start where your rights end. The mother´s rights start where the child´s rights end and vica versa.

How can we casually discuss killing a human, born or not born? Didn´t we all pass 9 months in a womb, being prepared for the outside world.

Have you ever seen an abortion?

Food for Thought

Forms of Goverment.

Good Form: Monarchy, the rule of one man in the interest of the common good.
Bad Form: Tyranny, the rule of one man for his own benefit.


Good Form: Aristocracy, the rule of a group in the interest of the common good.
Bad Form: Oligarchy, the rule of a group for its own benefit.


Good Form: Republic or Polity, the rule of the better part of the people in the interest of the common good.
Bad Form: Democracy, the rule of the worse part of the people for their own benefit."

Os Fogos

1) O Presidente da Republica Jorge Sampaio
tem razão. Cada um precisa de cuidar e limpar o seu quintal.

Vendo as imagens passadas na televisão nos últimos dias, fiquei inquietado pela quantidade de casas com mato ao redor até ao tecto. Pessoas, muitas da quais, logo a seguir estão a pedir mais esforço, mais meios do governo. Estamos a espera do governo para tudo quando não conseguimos limpar o nosso próprio quintal?

2) Só oitenta e poucos concelhos tiraram proveito dos Fundos da União Europeia para prevenção dos Fogos. O resto nem sequer apresentou projectos, incluíndo os concelhos com mais risco de incêndio como Monchique. Triste! Vergonhoso!

3) A democracia começa em casa. Para cada liberdade que é nossa também temos uma obrigação, para cada direito que reclamamos temos um dever de igual valor.

SORRISO DE CRIANÇA:

O sorriso duma criança
No início sem desconfiar,
Mostra uma face da vida
Muito em breve para esquecer.

Com tempo escondido pelo medo,
Com tempo desviado pela vaidade,
Triste é o homem que se esquece
Da beleza refugiada num sorriso.

O rasto de idade ampliando
A opressão do preconceito,
Perdido no tumulto do presente,
Ecoando a angústia vivida.

Inocência perdida na desconfiança,
Candura que morre com ciúmes,
Virtude vivida contaminada,
No sorriso de uma criança.

NO MORE

My heart, why do you dream incessantly?
Searching down limitless boulevards of pain,
For reasons to believe again.

This inescapable world, my billet has been
Interminably watching these transient instants
Lurking within a weary scene.

Haunted by visions of failure
Hunted by despair’s faithful hounds
In the thousand places I hide.

I rise to a dim daybreak,
Endeavoring to rid myself
Of this momentous burden.

Burden of pain, endlessly burning.
Burden of infamy, endlessly smoldering,
Burden of breathing, a blessing from above.

Despair and rage intertwine,
Shattering tenuous bonds that bind me
To a mind, long resigned to fading.

I cannot,

No more shall I face the sun,
It’s acidic rays fill me with ache,
No more, never more.

No more my heart,
You have said your last, sung your requiem
Find yourself a tomb, to dream.

No more my heart,
You have inhaled your last,
Find yourself a veil to shroud your cradle.

No more my heart,
It ends, and thus I lay me down
Finally to hope.

No more!
