“When I left Planned Parenthood, I was extremely nervous. I was immediately thrown into the media spotlight, and I had no idea what it was going to be like to be a public figure in the pro-life movement.”
“Why do I leave the March for Life every year happier than when I came? Hope and gratefulness are the reasons. Gratefulness for the life we have and the life we've given and hope for the future, to live in a world where abortion becomes unthinkable.”
“We are all afflicted with our own spiritual blindness. That's what sin does to us, and we all sin. We would do better to look into our own hearts and deal with our own sin before we condemn the sins of others.”
“I am far from a perfect pro-lifer.”
“I have many memories of my time with Planned Parenthood. I spent eight years of my life there. Some memories are good, some are not. But they are contained in my mind. It's easy to forget them.”
“Pregnancy Resource Centers (PRCs) are constantly in the crosshairs of the abortion industry. They are angry that PRCs take away clients who would otherwise use them for abortion. They lose lots of money to PRCs every year - and are vastly outnumbered.”
“How can we condemn those who are truly blinded by evil? We can't. We shouldn't. How do we bring about conversion of those living in blindness? By love. By truth in charity. By offering forgiveness. By offering mercy. With prayer.”
“No one is beyond the power of conversion, because no one is beyond the power of truth.”
“I have daughters. They love Disney princesses.”
“Not many people get that 'happily ever after' they want in life. There are disappointments every step of the way, no matter how hard one strives for the best.”
“When I say, 'I stand for equal rights,' I mean equal rights for all persons... from the moment of conception until natural death. I mean that I believe in the equal human dignity of all persons, no matter the 'contribution' they make to society.”
“I would say I am a mediocre Christian.”
“Abortion is a severely traumatic and potentially dangerous procedure.”
“Abortion, more than not, leaves women with an aftermath of grief, guilt, and emotional overload. In a lot of cases, this can last a lifetime.”
“Time is money, and the more breaks given, the less money that is made.”
“Filthy abortion clinics are not uncommon, but finding out about health violations at each clinic is no easy task.”
“My first March for Life was in 2010, three months after I left my job in the abortion industry as clinic director at a Planned Parenthood in Texas. It was intensely emotional, shocking in many ways, especially the outright love I saw in the faces of people who I once considered enemies.”
“How pro-lifers are perceived by those who oppose us is important.”
“I certainly never thought I would find myself walking into a pro-life office, and I never thought that I would one day be pro-life.”
“Most prochoicers have a line in the sand concerning abortion. There are very few abortion supporters who believe in abortion through all nine months of pregnancy.”
