“An ideal feminist world would not be one in which abortions were free and common, but one in which women would have greater control over pregnancy, and in which the circumstances that make pregnancies unwanted, would have been transformed. Until then, in a hugely imperfect, unfair and sexist world, I believe feminists must defend women's access to legal and safe abortions, whenever they decide to have them, whatever the reason for their decision.”
― Nivedita Menon, Seeing Like a Feminist

“Governments who manipulate population growth have two choices: making maternity pleasant, or making it inescapable.”
― Kate Millett, Sexual Politics

“Worse than aborting is birthing in instability.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Hometown Human: To Live for Soil and Society

“The feminist position on abortion is a woman's right to *choose*, and feminists would defend to the hilt the right of any woman *not*to have an abortion irrespective of the grounds she gave for making this choice. The anti-abortion position is in fact an anti-choice position, imposing, or attempting to impose, particular beliefs on all women.”
― Michèle Barrett, The Anti-Social Family
