I remember watching the vote go up on the board, the language that would compel American taxpayers to fund abortion in foreign lands. For the first time in years, the Democrats lost the debate but won the vote. And I saw Members over on…

I applauded you for assigning the increase in the speed limit on our interstates up to 70.

I had pointed out that a placeholder in the 2008 Farm Bill would result in $1.3 billion additional money going into the Pigford claims.

I think there has been a tremendous amount of instructive testimony that has come out from each of you.

I come to the floor during this rules debate to raise a subject that I think needs to be brought before this Congress... we did not shut off the funding to ObamaCare because in a--I won't say a legislative sleight of hand--there was…

I think that expanded the commerce clause beyond the intentions of the Founding Fathers.

I think this shows how concerned certain States are, and they are really almost begging, I think, the Congress to say, let us get into this discussion.

As a matter of policy, does it make sense for a regulatory agency, whether it be the NLRB or any other agency, to tell a State where an overwhelming number of their voters have passed a proposition, have passed a constitutional amendment…

Our goal is a patent system that allows for increased certainty, higher quality patents being issued, and reducing frivolous litigation.

I think it would not be wise to initiate litigation. And again, the proper place to settle this discussion is here in this body.

It clearly falls within the definition of the very activist nature of this present board and its general counsel.

I believe that as we move forward we're going to have some significant debates here on the floor. I look forward to the regular order component of this that's being initiated by Speaker Boehner, the process of using the committee process…

It has been real clear where I stand, and I think two-thirds of the American people seek to abolish and repeal ObamaCare in all of its aspects.

So any government mandate on my business will force me to close, and 22 employees and my family and I will be ruined.

This legislation is really about whether the role of America's government is to continue to fund a practice that takes the lives of over 1 million little Americans every year.

It is axiomatic that when government subsidizes conduct, it encourages it.

I believe the time has come for that to end.

this is a ghastly, gruesome and ghoulish procedure, and it is dismemberment abortion.

we should go to all steps to stop Federal dollars from going to abortion.

Planned Parenthood is far and away the largest abortion provider in America, and they are also the largest recipient of Federal funding under Title X.

President Obama has urged Americans to find common ground on the controversial issue of abortion.

Thomas Jefferson said that the care of human life and its happiness and not its destruction is the chief and only object of good government.

For me I can't see much difference between partial birth abortion and dismemberment abortion.

Let me say I also think now is the time to end taxpayer funding not only for abortion but also for abortion providers.

The need to pass this legislation I believe is self-evident when we think about the extraordinary subsidies, both direct and indirect, in the 'Patient Protection Affordable Care Act' for abortion across government spending.
