Secularizers Quotes & Sayings

Planned Parenthood (Planned Predators would perhaps be more apt) have long declared, with crocodilian tears, that every child should be a wanted child, predicating the child's value upon the lusts of the parents, rather than valuing the parents' actions according to the being and the beauty of a child. — Anthony M. Esolen
