People understand the consequences of abortion and the consequences of ongoing pregnancy and childbirth, and they can make that decision for themselves.”

“Now I see a little better how Nazism overcame Germany—not by attack from without or by subversion from within, but with a whoop and a holler. It was what most Germans wanted—or, under pressure of combined reality and illusion, came to want. They wanted it; they got it; and they liked it. I came back home a little afraid for my country, afraid of what it might want, and get, and like, under pressure of combined reality and illusion.”
― Milton Sanford Mayer, They Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933–45
