On the recordSeptember 24, 1996
Well, the Senator clearly does not understand the Supreme Court decision of Roe versus Wade, which I strongly support, and I daresay the majority of Senators and the majority of the American people support. That is, a woman has the right to choose in the first trimester, and after that the State comes in with strong and strict controls. A woman does not have an unfettered right to choose after the first trimester. The Senator should know that and should read that case. She does not, except if her life is threatened. I would assume, frankly, since the Republican platform does not even have a like exception----
