"I was once pro-choice. And the thing that changed my mind was, I read my
husband's biology books, medical books and what I learned is simply what it
states - this isn't even morally -- this is pure biology. At the moment of
conception, a life starts. And this life has its own unique set of DNA,
which contains a blueprint for the whole genetic being. The sex
isdetermined. Now people ask the question, well, is it a human being? We
know there's a life because it's growing and changing."
From ABC's television weeknight show, "Politically Incorrect", May 1, 1998

Country singer Naomi Judd appeared on the Sally Jesse Raphael show on March
6, 1998 She explained that when she became pregnant as an unwed teenager,
abortion was "not an option for me."
She went on to say that she has "worked as a labor and delivery nurse...I've
seen ultrasounds...you know that those babies are real." She reminded the
audience that if she had had an abortion, the world would have been deprived
of the great singing talent of her daughter and fellow performer Winona
Judd.

Dolores O'Riordan: Lead Vocalist, The Cranberries: "I am in no position to
judge other women, you know. But I mean, why did she get pregnant? It's not
good for women to go through the procedure [abortion] and have something
living sucked out of their bodies. It belittles women. Even though some
women say, 'Oh, I don't mind to have one,' every time a woman has an
abortion, it just crushes her self-esteem smaller and smaller and smaller."
