Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 21, 2010
In our Declaration of Independence, our forefathers declared that we are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights. The first was life, yet this bill would permit the public funding of abortions in a number of programs that would take an innocent life formed by that Creator within a matter of months, if not weeks or days. The very first act of our government on this innocent and defenseless life would be to end it. Our forefathers could not comprehend such an outrageous act. Let me close by saying that on this very day, March 21, exactly 61 years ago, Chaplain Peter Marshall prayed on the floor of the Senate: Lord, our God, help us to stand up for the inalienable rights of mankind, knowing that Thy power and Thy blessings will be upon us only when we do what is right. May we so speak, vote and live as to merit thy blessing.
