Wanted Or Unwanted, I Believe That Human Life, Even At Its Earliest Stages, Has Certain Rights Which Must Be Recognized – The Right To Be Born, The Right To Love, The Right To Grow Old... When History Looks Back To This Era It Should Recognize This Generation As One Which Cared About Human Beings Enough To Halt The Practice Of War, To Provide A Decent Living For Every Family, And To Fulfill Its Responsibility To Its Children From The Very Moment Of Conception.
