Political Quotes

“I was very pleased that last week the Senate took a little time out to pass a very important amendment regarding violence at health care clinics around this country. I know it was difficult for some of my Republican friends to stop other business and pending matters. They have a contract they want to get through. But as I pointed out, the world goes on, contract or no contract, and we need to respond. I think the fact that we did respond before the anniversary of Roe versus Wade was very important in terms of timing. I went to a clinic in California in Riverside County. I want to tell my friends in the Senate on both sides of the aisle that those doctors, those nurses, those patients that came out to commemorate Roe versus Wade were very grateful to the U.S. Senate, and very grateful to the Attorney General because marshals were sent there to ensure their safety. As I said to those who came to the commemoration of Roe versus Wade, this is the greatest country on Earth because we settle our problems peacefully and we are not like Bosnia and other countries where we decide issues through the barrel of a gun.”
