  • "We really need to get over this love affair with the fetus and start worrying about children." - Joycelyn Elders, former Surgeon General under President Clinton
  • "Too many people use abortion as a form of birth control. And that's very wrong. I could never, ever have an abortion." - Brooke Shields
  • "I had an abortion when I was 16. Because that's what I should have done. Otherwise I would now have a 20-year-old kid. Anyway, those are things that people shouldn't be dishonest about it." - Chelsea Handler
  • “The early feminists were pro-life. And really, abortion is a huge disservice to women, and it hasn’t been presented that way. As Feminists for Life-what we’re trying to do is support women, and so what we want to do is-reach women on campus-college campuses so that, when they get pregnant, they can find housing. They can find money they need to stay in school.” - Patricia Heaton
  • "The people who say that we shouldn't have the right to choose, that the government should interfere with our womb, are not people who believe in helping mothers who are poor or psychologically or emotionally unfit or unable to have children — to take care of those children, to raise them healthily and safely. It's as though all they care about is unborn babies, and they don't care anything about mothers or the babies once they are born into a world that can't receive them properly." - Jane Fonda
  • “My entire life I was pro-choice — who was I to tell another woman what she could or couldn’t do with her body? But when I was 18, I became a Christian and I dove into the medical books, I dove into science. What I read was astounding and I learned that at the moment of conception a new life comes into being. The complete genetic blueprint is there, the DNA is determined, the blood type is determined, the sex is determined, the unique set of fingerprints that nobody has had or ever will have is already there.” - Kathy Ireland
  • "We are supposed to be liberated in America but if our President [George W. Bush] had his way, we wouldn't be educated about sex at all. Every woman would have six children and we wouldn't be able to have abortions." - Scarlett Johansson
  • “I’m very contra my constituency in terms of abortion because I’m positively against it. I don’t have the right to any other view. My only emotion is gratitude, literally, for my life.” - Jack Nicholson
  • "Most women do not have [abortions] with some sort of party going on. It is the hardest decision that a woman ever has to make. . . . One of the reasons we've had to make this decision is because so many women were found bleeding, dead, with hangers in their bodies because they were doing it themselves. The idea of this was to make it safe and clean — that was the reason the law came into effect." - Whoopi Goldberg
  • “I really don’t believe in abortion. I think [an embryo] is a human, It’s like killing a baby.” - Justin Bieber, speaking about his views on the unborn and abortion.
