I send her to you innocent as an angel, and artless as purity itself; and I send you with her the heart of your friend, the only hope he has on earth, the subject of his tenderest thoughts, and the object of his latest cares.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)

None of the taxpayer funds may be used for abortion services or abortion counseling.”
—Newt Gingrich (b. 1943)

As if cycles and children and islands

and vegetables were never enough.”
