Barbara Boxer: “Not one United States Senator who is pro-choice believes that there should be an abortion allowed on a perfectly healthy…”

“Not one United States Senator who is pro-choice believes that there should be an abortion allowed on a perfectly healthy pregnancy in the late term. I repeat that again. It is my position certainly in the late term--this is in concert with Roe v. Wade--that these abortions not happen on a healthy baby. And I want to say to my friend when he keeps posing that, he has never given birth. I have had the honor and the privilege to do so twice. One of my babies was born in a breach fashion. So when the Senator asks me how I feel about that, I get a little upset because the way I felt about that at the time was God help me have a healthy baby. And she was premature, and I prayed every minute of the way. So I do not want anyone to come to this Senate floor--and I ask you, I plead with you, not to do this anymore--and talk about ``the Senator from California's position.'' I am a grandmother. It is the greatest thing that has ever happened to my husband and myself.”
