Tom Harkin: “I would want her to have a board-certified obstetrician/gynecologist…”

On the recordMarch 12, 2003

I would want her to have a board-certified obstetrician/gynecologist take care of her in a safe, healthy, legal setting. That is why I have offered my amendment. That is why my amendment is pending right now because I want us to say once and for all again that Roe v. Wade is the law of the land, that if, God forbid, my daughter ever had a situation like that, she could go into a hospital, that she would not have the law hounding her, and that she could have a board-certified obstetrician.
