“I want to say that it has been interesting to hear the debate. It has touched on a lot of things that are close to my heart and that I know are close to a lot of other people's hearts, which is getting health care to more people--health care that is affordable, health care that wasn't available before--and also, frankly, making sure we don't have attacks continue on an organization called Planned Parenthood that delivers lifesaving health care to 3 million Americans each and every year. There are a couple of points I would like to make. In a very strong debate I had with the Senator from Oklahoma, Mr. Lankford, I stated that I was offended because I believed that--Mr. President, I will go through you. The Senator basically said that those of us who are pro- choice are essentially supporting a crime against children, and he took issue with that and said he didn't. Well, I want to place in the Record his exact words, if I might. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.”
