“Make no mistake: Satanâ€™s specialty is psychological warfare. If he can turn us on God (â€œItâ€™s not fair!â€), or turn us on others (â€œItâ€™s their fault!â€), or turn us on ourselves (â€œIâ€™m so stupid!â€), we wonâ€™t turn on him. If we keep fighting within ourselves and losing our own inner battles, weâ€™ll never have the strength to stand up and fight our true enemy.”
“The right to life is not a woman's issue. The Lord is the giver of life and only He can make choices about life. It is always a reward to have life ... only the Lord gives and takes life.”

“In grade school I was taught that the United States is a melting pot. People from all over the world come here for freedom and to pursue a better life. They arrive with next to nothing, work incredibly hard, learn a new language and new customs, and in a generation they become an integral part of our amazing nation.”
