On the recordMarch 19, 2010
I am going to vote for this bill, but we are embarking upon a history for women that is going to be bleak. My mother died from metastatic breast cancer at age 63. A government panel just recently said women under 50 cannot get a mammogram and women over 50 can only get one every 2 years. This is the kind of rationing of care which is going to be exploded upon the American public. When a woman walks into an abortion clinic, there are two people who walk in that are alive. When she walks out, there is one dead and one wounded. We are creating more abortions. We are going to support the abortion industry in the Senate bill. The American people need to understand very clearly, the Senate bill that we will be voting on in just a few days is going to promote abortions and it is going to kill unborn children. We hear a lot of confusion, and we hear a lot of confusion about the CBO. I call the CBO parameters, what was given by them, zombie economics because a person would have to be dead without a soul walking around to believe the parameters that were given to the CBO, and it is just not factual. This is going to create more debt and it is going to put people out of work.

Iran is a huge part of this issue, and I don't see this administration or the previous administration really dealing with Iran...

If we know who those people are, I think it is an outright security threat not to revoke their passports.
