“Abortion is often seen as a bad thing for society, a sign of hedonism, materialism, and hyperindividualism. I argue that, on the contrary, access to legal abortion is a good thing for society and helping a woman obtain one is a good deed. Instead of shaming women for ending a pregnancy, we should acknowledge their realism and self-knowledge. We should accept that it’s good for everyone if women have only the children they want and can raise well. Society benefits when women can commit to education and work and dreams without having at the back of their mind a concern that maybe it’s all provisional, because at any moment an accidental pregnancy could derail them for life.”
― Katha Pollitt, Pro: Reclaiming Abortion Rights

“We need to talk about ending a pregnancy as a common, even normal, event in the reproductive lives of women—and not just modern American women either, but women throughout history and all over the world, from ancient Egypt to medieval Catholic Europe, from today’s sprawling cities to rural villages barely touched by modern ideas about women’s roles and rights.”

“We don’t like the idea that a man might be severely constrained for life by a single ejaculation. He has places to go and things to do. That a woman’s life may be stunted by unwanted childbearing is not so troubling. Childbearing, after all, is what women are for.”

“— Nie — odpowiedział ksiądz. Na twarz zaczęła wpływać mu czerwień. — Przez takich jak ty ten kraj staje się Sodomą.
— Przez takich jak ty — westchnąłem — ten kraj jest pełen takich poczciwców jak — wskazałem kciukiem za siebie — tamci. Twoi parafianie. Genetyczni patrioci. Gdybyście, sukinsyny — zachichotałem — nie zdusili reformacji, to by się mieszczaństwo w Polsce umocniło, i cechy by się umacniały, i manufaktury, i może jaka rewolucyjka przemysłowa, infrastrukturalna — uśmiechałem się. — A tak to nic, tylko ciemni chłopi i skretyniała szlachta. I wy. I błoto po horyzont, i po pas. I nic więcej. I człowiek sobie musi wyobrażać ciągle jakieś historie alternatywne, w których nie jest tak przejebanie, jak jest.”
― Ziemowit Szczerek, Był sobie Polak, Rusek i Niemiec, czyli historie z Europy B
