I for one respect those who believe with all their hearts and conscience that there are no circumstances under which any abortion should ever be available.

There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it but you can't prove that there aren't any so shouldn't we be agnostic with respect to fairies?

One should respect public opinion insofar as is necessary to avoid starvation and keep out of prison but anything that goes beyond this is voluntary submission to an unnecessary tyranny.

I have always believed that I should have had no difficulty in causing my rights to be respected.

Go up close to your friend but do not go over to him! We should also respect the enemy in our friend.

It is the sincere desire of the writer that our citizens should early understand that the genuine source of correct republican principles is the bible particularly the New Testament or the Christian religion.

If religion had a good purpose then man would have created something great. But we're man: we mess up everything. We mess up nature. We mess up God. We take what is given to us and make it into what we think it should be.

I've had trouble now and again in Nigeria because I have spoken up about the mistreatment of factions in the country because of difference in religion. These are things we should put behind us.
