Matteo Renzi: “all of us love this Nation. But how can all of us love this land unconditionally when there exists a law on the books…”

“all of us love this Nation. But how can all of us love this land unconditionally when there exists a law on the books that allows partial-birth abortion? In America today, an abortionist begins partial-birth abortion by causing a woman to go into labor. Involuntary contractions begin that push a pre-born American child into the birth canal. This law, as shown on this diagram, then allows an abortionist to reach into the womb and, with the baby in the breech position, begin to pull the baby out by its feet and legs. The law and the amendment we debate today allows an abortionist to pull the baby almost all the way out of its mother, and as shown here on this diagram, insert his scissors into the base of this pre-born American child's brainstem and vacuum out its brains. This is abuse of pre-born American children. This is violence against pre-born American babies. This is the torture and murder of future American patriots who deserve this Nation. And it is a corrupt law forced upon the land by the Supreme Court. This amendment says that an abortionist may continue to conduct this violence if he is trying to avert serious health consequences. This exemption is so big that it is nothing but a giant loophole. It once again allows the abortionist, the very menace to the child that is waiting to be paid, to define what averting serious health consequences means.”
