“My, my, my, here we go again, Republicans playing politics with deeply personal healthcare decisions that belong between women and their physicians. The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act is not going to save lives. It is going to wrench us back to the dark days of coat hanger medicine where women were killed and maimed in back alleys. This legislation has one aim: intimidate good and decent doctors; threaten them with imprisonment if they dare to perform a legal abortion, exercising their own medical judgment and with the consent of their patient. I strongly oppose this legislation. Mr. Speaker, the women of this country are watching. We will not go back.”
