“Mr. Chairman, there were some statements prior to now, not by the gentlewoman from Connecticut [Ms. DeLauro] but prior to that, that said we should not be discussing abortion yet again on the House floor and that they did not want this in a defense bill. Mr. Chairman, it is public law. Clinton signed this type of legislation on last year's defense authorization. It went through several appropriations committees and several conferences and he signed it into law and did not even gripe about it. He was busy griping about other things. It undid one of his five, what the Pope has called, culture of death Executive orders on his first day in office after the inauguration--and then finding their desks the second day--on the 20th anniversary of the fraudulent Roe versus Wade decision based on a rape that never happened and an abortion that never happened, Clinton signed an Executive order allowing abortions in all military hospitals, overseas and domestic, and, yes, it was a Dornan amendment in last year's defense authorization that caused him with his own pen to undo his own order of death. It is a done deed. So here comes an amendment from the minority on the floor to discuss something they claim they do not want to discuss. Well, then, why are we doing it?”
