Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, today this House will consider H.R. 3755. To me, this is a heartbreaking piece of legislation. It is an assault on the most fundamental right of a person, and that is the right to life. Wednesday, I was thrilled with the news of the birth of my 21st grandchild. Little Liberty is her name, although she wasn't really little. She was 8 pounds, 14 ounces, and 22-and-a-half inches long. Her life has started; she was born. However, that right given by God happened long before the day she was born. She is a citizen of the United States, and because of that, she has that right. H.R. 3755 is also an affront to human rights. I have heard many of my friends on the other side say: We only want in rare and uncommon circumstances the right to have abortions. But this bill does not do that. It enables and promotes something far beyond that. It promotes the horrific practice of eugenics by ensuring that abortions are allowed in cases of a possible congenital disorder. ____________________”
