QUOTE: I wanted to
take just a few brief moments to restate my firm support of our cause and to
share with you my deep personal concern about our American tragedy of abortion
on demand. We are concerned about abortion because it deals with the lives of
two human beings, mother and child. I know there are people of good will who
disagree, but after years of sober and serious reflection on the issue, this is what I think. I think the Supreme Court's decision in
Roe versus Wade was wrong and should be overturned....[Y]ou and hundreds of
thousands with you across the country have raised a voice of moral gravity
about abortion, a voice of principle, a voice of faith, a full voice that
properly asserts and affirms the basic dignity of human life. I'm confident
that more and more Americans every year -- every day -- are hearing your
message and taking it to heart. And, ladies and gentlemen -- and, yes, young
people as well -- I promise you that the President hears you now and stands with
you in a cause that must be won. God bless you all, and God bless life. (January 23, 1989)
