"Kami memberi makan publik garis penipuan, ketidakjujuran, pembuatan statistik dan angka. Kami berhasil karena waktunya tepat dan media berita bekerja sama. Kami merasakan dampak dari aborsi ilegal, dan jajak pendapat palsu yang menunjukkan bahwa 85 persen masyarakat menyukai aborsi yang tidak dibatasi, padahal kami tahu itu hanya 5 persen. Kami tanpa malu-malu berbohong, namun pernyataan kami dikutip [oleh media] seolah-olah semuanya tertulis dalam hukum."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

We fed the public a line of deceit, dishonesty, a fabrication of statistics and figures. We succeeded because the time was right and the news media cooperated. We sensationalized the effects of illegal abortions, and fabricated polls which indicated that 85 percent of the public favored unrestricted abortion, when we knew it was only 5 percent. We unashamedly lied, and yet our statements were quoted [by the media] as though they had been written in law.
