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)
