Political Quotes

“when the partial-birth abortion ban was before this Congress last year, the opponents of the act accused the proponents of offensive conduct. What was that offensive conduct? What was that bad taste that they accused the supporters of the bill of being guilty of? It was of describing, of accurately describing, they admitted that the proponents accurately described the procedure, the act, and they said that offended them. They said it was a sorry spectacle for people to accurately describe what happened to these late-term babies in their mother's womb. They said it was offensive conduct to describe how these babies' bodies were dismantled, how they were mutilated, how their young lives were ended. Let me say that is a sorry spectacle to describe such an act. As a civilized society, we should not have to describe such an act because it should never occur. Is it not ironic that the very people who say what a sick thing to do, what an uncivilized thing to do, what outrageous conduct, that they are the very people that rise in this body and defend the very act? This act has no place in a civilized society. It is a violation of our God-given dignity.”
