Political Quotes

On the recordDecember 1, 2016
I join my Democratic colleagues in opposing funding for a legislative panel that, instead of protecting, is jeopardizing life. Just ask the wife and 4 children and 10 grandchildren of George Tiller, a good doctor, who, while attending church, was shot dead by an anti-abortion extremist. His loved ones know the tragic consequences of having a target on one's back. And what this panel is doing is funding and creating new targets. Reports naming names with bogus accusations; every day, clinics dealing with social media threats, bomb scares, harassment. We are playing deadly politics here, endangering lives and halting lifesaving medical breakthroughs. Enough is enough. I urge my colleagues to oppose this resolution.
