Roe Vs Wade Quotes By Laurence Tribe

Even those who, like me, believe that Roe v. Wade and the decisions elaborating on reproductive rights were constitutionally correct must recognize that, for many on the right, the sudden and relatively sloppily reasoned character of the abortion rulings ... did real damage to the Court's reputation as a relatively neutral arbiter of legal disputes. — Laurence Tribe

Roe Vs Wade Quotes By Mitt Romney

But I am pro-life and will intend, if I'm president of the United States, to encourage pro-life policies.

Wade and therefore they return to the people and their elected representatives the decisions with regards to this important issue. — Mitt Romney

Roe Vs Wade Quotes By Emily Ruskovich

But now, seeing these letters his father wrote to June Bailey Roe, seeing his father's painful devotion to someone who simply wasn't real - a daughter he never had - Wade is unable to suppress his dread. All that love, all those feelings, all that pain, fastened to nothing, a terrible, drifting chaos. His future loss of mind becomes the new premise of his life, and he feels, already, the loss of the things he loves, feels himself trying to find some other way to hold on to them. — Emily Ruskovich

Roe Vs Wade Quotes By Jay Alan Sekulow

They're all focusing on how John Roberts is going to decide Roe v. Wade. That isn't even the right question. I don't even know of a case in the (court) system that addresses it. — Jay Alan Sekulow

Roe Vs Wade Quotes By David Horowitz

For thirty years, beginning with the invention of a privacy right in the Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade, the Left has been waging a systematic assault on the constitutional foundation of the nation. — David Horowitz

Roe Vs Wade Quotes By Steven D. Levitt

Perhaps the most dramatic effect of legalized abortion, however, and one that would take years to reveal itself, was its impact on crime. In the early 1990s, just as the first cohort of children born after Roe v. Wade was hitting its late teen years - the years during which young men enter their criminal prime - the rate of crime began to fall. What this cohort was missing, of course, were the children who stood the greatest chance of becoming criminals. And the crime rate continued to fall as an entire generation came of age minus the children whose mothers had not wanted to bring a child into the world. Legalized abortion led to less unwantedness; unwantedness leads to high crime; legalized abortion, therefore, led to less crime. — Steven D. Levitt

Roe Vs Wade Quotes By Jerry Falwell

Roe Vs Wade Quotes By Chuck Klosterman

I sometimes wonder how many hours of my life I have wasted bitching about keyboards. The use of keyboards and synthesizers is the Roe v. Wade of '80s metal. It was-without question-the lamest instrument a band could use. — Chuck Klosterman

Roe Vs Wade Quotes By Stephen Colbert

I cannot stand people who disagree with me on the issue of Roe v. Wade ... which I believe is about the proper way to cross a lake. — Stephen Colbert

Roe Vs Wade Quotes By Norma McCorvey

I was the Jane Roe of Roe vs. Wade, but Jane Roe has been laid to rest. — Norma McCorvey

Roe Vs Wade Quotes By Dennis Kucinich

First off, I never favored a constitutional amendment to criminalize abortion or to overturn Roe v. Wade. — Dennis Kucinich

Roe Vs Wade Quotes By Rick Santorum

My feeling is that the judge has a responsibility to the Constitution first, precedent second. Precedent is one factor. It is not the only factor. If it was the only factor, then, you know, we wouldn't have had Roe vs. Wade. We wouldn't have had Griswold. We wouldn't have had Lawrence. We wouldn't have had all these cases which the Left love. — Rick Santorum

Roe Vs Wade Quotes By Rand Paul

I would introduce and support legislation to send Roe v. Wade back to the states. — Rand Paul

Roe Vs Wade Quotes By Rick Santorum

Roe Vs Wade Quotes By Nancy Keenan

Roe Vs Wade Quotes By Madeleine M. Kunin

The Republican agenda is, and always has been, to repeal Roe v. Wade, and at the very least, erode it to the greatest extent possible. — Madeleine M. Kunin

Roe Vs Wade Quotes By Sam Brownback

Among the most famous of these Supreme Court cases of exercise of political power I believe are the cases of Roe V. Wade and Doe v. Bolton, two 1973 cases based on false statements which created a constitutional right to abortion. — Sam Brownback

Roe Vs Wade Quotes By Tony Campolo

Prior to ROE V. WADE, abortions were common even though they were illegal. I don't think making them illegal again is going to solve the problem. — Tony Campolo

Roe Vs Wade Quotes By Gary Bauer

I will appoint men and women to the Federal judiciary who share my view of unborn children as constitutionally protected and who will unhesitatingly vote to overturn Roe v. Wade. If nominated by my party, I will select my running mate from among a list of men and women fully committed to protection of the unborn. — Gary Bauer

Roe Vs Wade Quotes By Laura Bush

I think it's important that (Roe v. Wade) remain legal for medical reasons and other reasons. — Laura Bush

Roe Vs Wade Quotes By Chelsea Handler

And just like that, as if I hadn't said anything at all, the ladies sprang into a conversation about the sinful nature the Jews possessed when killing their Lord Jesus. I didn't know if I was hearing this right because I had become so intoxicated, but I couldn't believe that anyone would talk about religion while on vacation. How could Miss Nebraska think this was a proper environment to discuss something so controversial? One woman went on to say that if she had her way not only would President Bush serve a second four-year term, but she hoped they would overturn Roe v. Wade. This woman was obviously a menace to society and needed to be stopped. — Chelsea Handler

Roe Vs Wade Quotes By Nancy Northup

Not since before Roe v. Wade has a law or court decision had the potential to devastate access to reproductive health care on such a sweeping scale. — Nancy Northup

Roe Vs Wade Quotes By Lincoln Chafee

Roe Vs Wade Quotes By Frank Pavone

Roe Vs Wade Quotes By Mitt Romney

I was an avidly pro-life governor; I'm an avidly pro-life individual. As a pro-life Republican, I am in favor of having the Supreme Court overturn Roe v. Wade. — Mitt Romney

Roe Vs Wade Quotes By Ellen Willis

The goal of the right is not to stop abortion but to demonize it, punish it and make it as difficult and traumatic as possible. All this it has accomplished fairly well, even without overturning Roe v. Wade . — Ellen Willis

Roe Vs Wade Quotes By Katha Pollitt

Justice Harry Blackmun's majority opinion in Roe v. Wade was all about privacy, but the most private parts of a woman's body and the most private decisions she will ever make have never been more public. Everyone gets to weigh in. Even, according to the five conservative Catholic men on the Supreme Court, her employer. — Katha Pollitt

Roe Vs Wade Quotes By A.E. Samaan

Many American boys that fought in WWII had been sterilized under eugenic laws passed by the the United States Supreme Court under the 1927 case of Buck v. Bell. Over 80,000 Americans would be forcibly sterilized under that legal precedent. Coincidentally, Buck v Bell is also the legal precedent cited in Roe v. Wade, the famous abortion rights case. — A.E. Samaan

Roe Vs Wade Quotes By John McCain

But certainly in the short term, or even the long term, I would not support repeal of Roe v. Wade, which would then force X number of women in America to [undergo] illegal and dangerous operations. — John McCain

Roe Vs Wade Quotes By Jimmy Carter

When I was president, I announced and I still maintain that I can live with Roe v. Wade. I did everything I possibly could as president under that ruling, which I don't think ought to be changed, to minimize the need for abortions. I think every abortion is a result of a horrible series of errors on the part of people involved. — Jimmy Carter
