The notion that those of us that are pro-life because we love children - is that so terrible? Really? Is that so terrible?
All Norwegian children learn to swim when they are very young because if you can't swim it is difficult to find a place to bathe.
When I'm on the road traveling, the things I miss most are my two children and barbecuing with friends. Rack of ribs, lamb and veal are my specialties.
I'd like my children to learn that anything is possible if you put your mind to it, and that when you make a decision to do something like pursuing the Olympics, like I have, it needs to be a family affair.
For people who want to be proactive about their health, there is a lot of information that we can provide. If you are going to have children, I think you have a responsibility to know if you are carrying anything. A lot of people tend to do the testing once they are pregnant.
My mother was from Mississippi, or is from 'Mississippi;' my father was from Alabama. He speaks about conditions in Mississippi and Alabama. They were really the poster children for the bad public laws that segregated, according to race, in our country.

We live in a society where children are expected to become adults overnight.
We spend the first twelve months of our children's lives teaching them to walk and talk and the next twelve telling them to sit down and shut up.
Children make you a better everything. Daughters open up a whole different sensibility to you. When you have children, it focuses you on them as opposed to on yourself.
In my opinion, the Republican Party is the last on the list to care about the needs of old people and children and poor people.
It is commonly agreed that children spend more hours per year watching television than in the classroom, and far less in actual conversation with their parents.
As philanthropists, the most powerful legacy we can create is one that keeps on giving - through our children.
Well, I know that 500,000 children died in Iraq because of the embargo.
What a dichotomy. What conflicting ideas that we love and embrace these women, and entrust them to raise our children and to feed us and to bathe us, but we keep something as silly as a bathroom separate.
As a footballer I can't imagine life without the use of one of my legs... Sadly this is exactly what happens to thousands of children every year when they accidentally step on a landmine.
I believe if more American children read the Ten Commandments and are taught what they mean, they will predictably engage in less crime.
Some parents believe that competition helps prepare children to succeed. Others fear that their children will not be able to handle failure.
We live in a world of strange priorities, where Kim Kardashian buying a Lamborghini creates international headlines, but children in Niger suffering from drought and children in Britain suffering from leukaemia go unnoticed.
My hope for my children must be that they respond to the still, small voice of God in their own hearts.
The reality is, because of access to film, you don't have a lot of black people who want to go behind the camera. We raise our children to want to be in front of the camera and shine, and that's on us.

I really am glad that the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children has had the courage to stand up and say that children should not be hit under any circumstances. I am a committed supporter of this campaigning charity for children.
Part of the satisfaction of tattling surely comes from showing oneself to adults as a good moral agent, a responsible being who is sensitive to right and wrong. But I would bet that children would tattle even if they could do so only anonymously. They would do it just to have justice done.
I think tremendous change has taken place since the World Summit for Children in 1990.
I've always been fascinated by the way that children and animals suffer stoically in a way that I don't think adults do.
