Quotes 

• Jackie Harris : See, I told you that amnio wouldn't be that bad.

  Roseanne Conner : Yeah, they stick a needle in my stomach and suck out a bunch of goo. I want to come back tomorrow and see if they can do the same for my butt.

• Becky Conner-Healy : I can't believe abortion used to be illegal. Like what if I was one of those girls who got pregnant in high school?

  Roseanne Conner : Yeah, you might've had to drop out and marry some loser.

• Roseanne Conner : [joining the protesters]  Hey ho hey ho! Life begins when *we* say so!

  Protester : Are you with us?

  Roseanne Conner : Yeah, we're from the head office. I'm Enid, and this is Jackie.

  Jackie Harris : Now now, Enid, you can give them my real name. I'm Roseanne.

• Roseanne Conner : [seeing Nana Mary's new husband]  So uh, who's the looker?

  Beverly Harris : This is Joe, that's all she tells me, just Joe.

  Roseanne Conner : Hey Joe, whaddaya know?

  Nana Mary : Now he doesn't hear so well, Rosey, but that's the price you pay for defending your country against the Kaiser.

• Dan Conner : Hey Roseanne, isn't there a phone call you wanted to make before it gets too late?

  Roseanne Conner : Oh yeah.

  [to Nana Mary] 

  Roseanne Conner : You know the holidays are the busiest times for us phone sex girls.

• Beverly Harris : Now what if I'd decided to have an abortion with you, Roseanne? Or your sister? What would've happened then?

  Roseanne Conner : Would you like me to tell you, Mom? Maybe you wouldn't have had to marry some guy you didn't love and you would've had a happy and fulfilling life. Wouldn't that be an abomination?

  Beverly Harris : Yes it would, Roseanne, because I know the difference between right and wrong. And abortion is wrong.

  Roseanne Conner : Well thank you for giving us all the truth, mother. I've always wondered what that red phone was doing in your apartment with the word GOD on it.

• Roseanne Conner : You know, I always thought I could have an abortion, but now I just, I don't think I can. Part of me would always wonder what the kid was going to turn out to be.

• Dan Conner : I thought we decided that if there was a serious problem, that we would deal with it, we talked about this.

  Roseanne Conner : Yeah but everything's different now.

  Dan Conner : Why?

  Roseanne Conner : Because I'm pregnant.

  Dan Conner : So you're saying you want to have this baby, no matter what?

  Roseanne Conner : No, I'm just saying this is a much more complicated situation than I ever thought it would be.
