“I would just like to say now that it has been pretty well established that the Republican budget cuts and the welfare reform are prepared to turn their back on the issues of prevention with respect to disabled children and preventing these pregnancies that are high risk that we have identified. We know before the fact, we know that we can go out and change the course of these pregnancies. But yet somehow we are not going to dedicate those funds. And Wednesday we will be voting to cut 100,000 women, pregnant women, pregnancies that are started. They do not know budget rescissions or balanced budgets or fiscal years. The pregnancies are launched, and yet we know if we can get there early, we can change the outcome of this pregnancy. One hundred thousand women will not be served this fiscal year because of these cutbacks. And that is what I mean by cutting the most vulnerable.”
