Political Quotes

On the recordApril 25, 2013
Today, I join my colleagues to express my disgust and anger at the barbaric actions of Dr. Kermit Gosnell. The facts of this case are gut-wrenching. As a father, a Catholic, and a health care provider, I believe in protecting the unborn. This case isn't only about upholding the sanctity of life, but it is also about patient care and safety. Further, it shows many in the mainstream media will turn a blind eye to the murder of infants if it suits their political agenda. Regardless of one's abortion position, no one can defend Gosnell's practices, yet his criminal case proceeds without the national outcry for justice that we have heard on other murder cases. Do we value the lives of infants or the health care of mothers who endured such horrific medical care? The lack of oversight allowing Dr. Gosnell to operate under horrific conditions, perform late-term abortions and murder babies should be scrutinized in the same manner as other serial killers. My hope is our actions today shed light on this case and start a conversation to be sure that this never happens again. ____________________
