Adoptee rights are everyone's rights, and they deserve to be protected. ~ DaShanne Stokes
Adoptee Rights quotes by DaShanne Stokes
It is becoming plain that our liberal regime of equality and personal freedom depends, more than most theorists of liberalism have been willing to admit, on the existence and support of certain social assumptions and practices: the belief that each and every human being possesses great and inherent value, the willingness to respect the rights of others even at the cost of some disadvantages to one's self, the ability to defer some immediate benefits for the sake of long-range goals, and a regard for reason-giving and civility in public discourse. ~ Mary Ann Glendon
Adoptee Rights quotes by Mary Ann Glendon
It is always to be taken for granted, that those who oppose an equality of rights never mean the exclusion should take place on themselves. ~ Thomas Paine
Adoptee Rights quotes by Thomas Paine
The split has widened because the right has moved right, not because the left has moved left. Republican presidents Eisenhower, Nixon, and Ford all supported the Equal Rights Amendment. In 1960, the GOP platform embraced "free collective bargaining" between management and labor. REpublicans boasted of "extending the minimum wage to several million more workers" and "strengthening the unemployment insurance system and extension of its benefits." Under Dwight Eisenhower, top earners were taxed at 91 percent; in 2015, it was 40 percent. Planned Parenthood has come under serious attack from nearly all Republican presidential candidates running in 2016. Yet a founder of the organization was Peggy Goldwater, wife of the 1968 conservative Republican candidate for president Barry Goldwater. General Eisenhower called for massive invenstment in infrastructure, and now nearly all congressional Republicans see such a thing as frightening government overreach. Ronald Reagan raised the national debt and favored gun control, and now the Republican state legislature of Texas authorizes citizens to "open carry" loaded guns into churches and banks. Conservatives of yesterday seem moderate or liberal today. ~ Arlie Russell Hochschild
Adoptee Rights quotes by Arlie Russell Hochschild
What exactly is meant by the quaint and popular term professional? Does not the very word imply a superior class of people? Couldn't we apply this definition to farmers, or truckdrivers, or janitors, or factory workers, or butchers, or bakers, or any of the other anonymous classes of laborers? By bestowing such a title on certain fortunate groups such as doctors and lawyers, aren't we suggesting that what they provide is of a special importance? Aren't more imagined responsibilities being attributed to them in order to justify the undeniable reality of their superior rights and perquisites? Or are we simply recognizing the fact that they are paid far more than what we kindly refer to as 'employees? ~ Donald Jeffries
Adoptee Rights quotes by Donald Jeffries
I believe in individual rights so much that I don't like any sort of 'what's good for the cause'-type questions. ~ Penn Jillette
Adoptee Rights quotes by Penn Jillette
Rights and empowerment are interconnected: unless a substantial number of women in a community come to believe that they have rights and demand to exercise them, right remains an abstraction. ~ Mahnaz Afkhami
Adoptee Rights quotes by Mahnaz Afkhami
So I was at the gas station the other day, and I saw that there was braille on the pumps. I don't see how they can cater to blind drivers. I mean, there are certain rights you should lose once you lose what makes you a person. ~ Zach Braff
Adoptee Rights quotes by Zach Braff
Why did you come in to-night with your heads in the air? 'Make way, we are coming! Give us every right and don't you dare breathe a word before us. Pay us every sort of respect, such as no one's ever heard of, and we shall treat you worse than the lowest lackey!' They strive for justice, they stand on their rights, and yet they've slandered him like infidels in their article. We demand, we don't ask, and you will get no gratitude from us, because you are acting for the satisfaction of your own conscience! Queer sort of reasoning!... He has not borrowed money from you, he doesn't owe you anything, so what are you reckoning on, if not his gratitude? So how can you repudiate it? Lunatics! They regard society as savage and inhuman, because it cries shame on the seduced girl; but if you think society inhuman, you must think that the girl suffers from the censure of society, and if she does, how is it you expose her to society in the newspapers and expect her not to suffer? Lunatics! Vain creatures! They don't believe in God, they don't believe in Christ! Why, you are so eaten up with pride and vanity that you'll end by eating up one another, that's what I prophesy. Isn't that topsy-turvydom, isn't it infamy? ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Adoptee Rights quotes by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
To invent a war means that you've become a wartime president, and you can suspend much if not all of the Bill of Rights. ~ Gore Vidal
Adoptee Rights quotes by Gore Vidal
Human Rights for everyone is the necessary foundation upon which all of us may build a world where everybody may live in peace and serenity and plenty. ~ Michael Douglas
Adoptee Rights quotes by Michael Douglas
The effects of human rights education can be dramatic in awakening people to the value and power of their own lives, as shown in the following stories. ~ Daisaku Ikeda
Adoptee Rights quotes by Daisaku Ikeda
If the Constitution doesn't say anything about a woman's right to abortion, I'm damn sure it doesn't say anything about the rights of the unborn. ~ Israel Morrow
Adoptee Rights quotes by Israel Morrow
Grant deserves an honored place in American history, second only to Lincoln for what he did for the freed slaves. He got the big issues right during his presidency even if he bungled many of the small ones. The historian Richard N. Currant who also saw Grant as the most underrated American president wrote "by backing radical reconstruction as best he could he made a greater effort to secure the constitutional rights of blacks than did any other president between Lincoln and Lyndon B. Johnson". In the words of Frederick Douglass, "that sturdy old roman, Benjamin Butler, made the negro a contraband, Abraham Lincoln made him a free man and General Ulysses S. Grant made him a citizen". ~ Ron Chernow
Adoptee Rights quotes by Ron Chernow
The treatise found that he was perfectly within his rights to use them. ~ Michael Scheuer
Adoptee Rights quotes by Michael Scheuer
And these great natural rights may be reduced to three principal or primary articles: the right of personal security; the right of personal liberty; and the right of private property; because as there is no other known method of compulsion, or of abridging man's natural free will, but by an infringement or diminution of one or other of these important rights, the preservation of these, inviolate, may justly be said to include the preservation of our civil immunities in their largest and most extensive sense. ~ William Blackstone
Adoptee Rights quotes by William Blackstone
The last stop to protect rights and liberties is the Supreme Court. ~ Dick Durbin
Adoptee Rights quotes by Dick Durbin
A bear and a deer are both wild animals. We allow the deer to roam in our backyard but we do not give the same right to the bear. It is because the bear is dangerous. Neither the bear nor the deer have rights. We humans give them rights. Taking in account our own security, we give to some animals some rights and deny the same to other animals. ~ Ali Sina
Adoptee Rights quotes by Ali Sina
Should things go wrong at any time, the people will set them to rights by the peaceable exercise of their elective rights. ~ Thomas Jefferson
Adoptee Rights quotes by Thomas Jefferson
The People are a capricious and stupid beast that doesn't know its own strength and bears burdens and blows with patience;... it knows not what fear it inspires, or that its masters have prepared a magic potion to stupefy it. What a fantastic situation! The People beating and tying itself up with its own hands; fighting and dying for a few pennies from the King,... totally unaware that everything between heaven and earth really belongs to it and stoning to death anyone who would remind it of its rights. ~ Tommaso Campanella
Adoptee Rights quotes by Tommaso Campanella
You all know that even when women have full rights, they still remain fatally downtrodden because all housework is left to them. In most cases housework is the most unproductive, the most barbarous and the most arduous work a woman can do. It is exceptionally petty and does not include anything that would in any way promote the development of the woman. ~ Vladimir Lenin
Adoptee Rights quotes by Vladimir Lenin
In my judgment the people of no nation can lose their liberty so long as a Bill of Rights like ours survives and its basic purposes are conscientiously interpreted, enforced and respected so as to afford continuous protection against old, as well as new, devices and practices which might thwart those purposes. I fear to see the consequences of the Court's practice of substituting its own concepts of decency and fundamental justice for the language of the Bill of Rights as its point of departure in interpreting and enforcing that Bill of Rights. ~ Hugo Black
Adoptee Rights quotes by Hugo Black
Jesus was clear that following Him meant - get this - following Him. The church has put so much effort into inventing a new form of "following Christ" that doesn't require imitating Him. We teach that even though Jesus allowed His rights to be trampled, we should fight for ours. We teach that even though Jesus lived simply, we have the right to live luxuriously (some prefer the term "comfortably"). Even as we teach that Jesus was rejected by the world, we pursue popularity. ~ Francis Chan
Adoptee Rights quotes by Francis Chan
The horse and the cow, the rabbit and the cat, the deer and the hare, the pheasant and the lark, please us better as friends than as meat. ~ Elisee Reclus
Adoptee Rights quotes by Elisee Reclus
Do not make the mistake of the ignorant who think that an individualist is a man who says: "I'll do as I please at everybody else's expense." An individualist is a man who recognizes the inalienable individual rights of man - his own and those of others. ~ Ayn Rand
Adoptee Rights quotes by Ayn Rand
Free yourself from the false worldview of the Left.
Do not even consider it as anything other than a product of insane people who want to hurt you.
And do not, under any circumstances, refer to yourself as a 'men's rights activist'.
Doing so signals weakness, and also lacks any logical basis.
Any such 'rights' are myths, and rank alongside the rest of the Leftist ideological debris.
Once again: if you do not have a special proclivity for deconstructing nonsense, or some perverse interest in dumb political ideologies, do not even waste your time thinking about the ideas of the Left. ~ Daniel Friberg
Adoptee Rights quotes by Daniel Friberg
When you consider what Tony Blair was saying about liberty, human rights and that sort of thing, it would be terribly revolutionary to sell the speeches he and Jack Straw made in 1994. ~ Rory Bremner
Adoptee Rights quotes by Rory Bremner
The rhetoric of 'law and order' was first mobilized in the late 1950s as Southern governors and law enforcement officials attempted to generate and mobilize white opposition to the Civil Rights Movement. In the years following Brown v. Board of Education, civil rights activists used direct-action tactics in an effort to force reluctant Southern States to desegregate public facilities. Southern governors and law enforcement officials often characterized these tactics as criminal and argued that the rise of the Civil Rights Movement was indicative of a breakdown of law and order. Support of civil rights legislation was derided by Southern conservatives as merely 'rewarding lawbreakers.'
For more than a decade – from the mid 1950s until the late 1960s – conservatives systematically and strategically linked opposition to civil rights legislation to calls for law and order, arguing that Martin Luther King Jr.'s philosophy of civil disobedience was a leading cause of crime. ~ Michelle Alexander
Adoptee Rights quotes by Michelle Alexander
Thirteen governments [of the original states] thus founded on the natural authority of the people alone, without a pretence of miracle or mystery, and which are destined to spread over the northern part of that whole quarter of the globe, are a great point gained in favor of the rights of mankind. ~ John Adams
Adoptee Rights quotes by John Adams
The part of you that's like Gob is the part that makes a choice. That says, I choose to. or, I choose not to. That's what's sacred. ~ Dr. Willie Parker
Adoptee Rights quotes by Dr. Willie Parker
Hurry, drive and bustle ... Everybody looking out for number one, and caring little who jostled past, if their rights were not infringed. ~ Fanny Fern
Adoptee Rights quotes by Fanny Fern
If he even drinks coffee. I don't. I only drink Green tea which is something close to blasphemy here in Italy where people worship coffee, where making a cup of coffee, be it espresso, macchiato, latte, or cappuccino, is an art in and of itself and where drinking coffee is one of the fundamental rights guaranteed by the constitution. ~ Diane May
Adoptee Rights quotes by Diane  May
Emancipation from every kind of bondage is my principle. I go for recognition of human rights, without distinction of sect, party, sex, or color. ~ Ernestine Rose
Adoptee Rights quotes by Ernestine Rose
The best way to help the poor is the provide them property rights. ~ Liu Junning
Adoptee Rights quotes by Liu Junning
An older man who seems to be the leader of the Jesus Tshirt group says that the Bible forbids abortion in its commandment "Thou shall not kill."
But being in the Bible Belt, people really know their Bible, and an older woman cites Exodus 21:22–23, a passage that says a man who causes a pregnant woman to miscarry must pay a fine but is not charged with murder, not unless the woman herself dies.
Thus the Bible is making clear, that a dependent life is not the same as an independent life. ~ Gloria Steinem
Adoptee Rights quotes by Gloria Steinem
The women of this country ought be enlightened in regard to the laws under which they live, that they may no longer publish their degradation by declaring themselves satisfied with their present position, nor their ignorance, by asserting that they have all the rights they want. ~ Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Adoptee Rights quotes by Elizabeth Cady Stanton
The way in which we can promote peace, is by promoting sustainable management of our resources, equitable distribution of these resources, and that the only way you can actually do that, is that then you have to have a political, economic system that facilitates that. And then you get into the issues of human rights, justice, economic justice, social justice, and good governance or democratic governance. That's how it ties up. ~ Wangari Maathai
Adoptee Rights quotes by Wangari Maathai
The government's rationale here is beautiful in its simplicity. American criminals have constitutional rights not because they are natural-born Americans but precisely because they are criminals. Deportations, however, are not part of the criminal justice system. "Removal proceedings," wrote the circuit judge in the Gutierrez-Berdin case, "are civil, not criminal, and the exclusionary rule does not generally apply to them." So the undocumented alien who kills a room full of Rotarians with an ax has a right to counsel, a phone call, and protection against improper searches. The alien caught crossing the street on his way to work has no rights at all. Strangest ~ Matt Taibbi
Adoptee Rights quotes by Matt Taibbi
Respect for the rights of others is a lofty principle; but envy is a primal urge (p114) ~ Madeleine K. Albright
Adoptee Rights quotes by Madeleine K. Albright
You can't have occupation and human rights. ~ Christopher Hitchens
Adoptee Rights quotes by Christopher Hitchens
Most people I've met who weren't kind to animal, weren't kind to people either. Kindness is kindness. Simple as that. Barbaric activities such as hunting should be consigned to the history books. ~ Fuad Alakbarov
Adoptee Rights quotes by Fuad Alakbarov
Let wife and child perish, and lay bricks for your last crust, rather than part with an iota of your [copy]rights. ~ George Bernard Shaw
Adoptee Rights quotes by George Bernard Shaw
[Belva] Lockwood sought more than suffrage. She urged full political and civil rights for all women. Though she could not vote for president, she twice ran for the office herself, pointing out that nothing in the Constitution barred a woman's candidacy. (She took that bold step 124 years before Hillary Rodham Clinton first became a contender for the Democratic Party's nomination.) Explaining why she entered the race, she wrote in a letter to her future running mate, Marietta Stow: 'We shall never have equal rights until we take them, nor equal respect until we command it. ~ Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Adoptee Rights quotes by Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Everyone wants to live at the expense of the state. They forget that the state lives at the expense of everyone. ~ Frederic Bastiat
Adoptee Rights quotes by Frederic Bastiat
The Guardian's Jonathan Freedland observes that Britain 'has a fundamentally different conception of power to, say, the United States'. It doesn't have a Bill of Rights or a written constitution, or the American idea that 'we the people' are sovereign. Rather, the British system still bears the 'imprint of its origins in monarchy', with power emanating from the top and flowing downwards. Britons remain subjects rather than citizens. Hence their lack of response towards government intrusion. ~ Luke Harding
Adoptee Rights quotes by Luke Harding
I am a technological activist. I have a political agenda. I am in favor of basic human rights: to free speech, to use any information and technology, to purchase and use recreational drugs, to enjoy and purchase so-called 'vices', to be free of intruders, and to privacy. ~ Bram Cohen
