“I think that is true. I think, in fact, it is a higher standard, and interestingly, when polls are taken among the American people about which institutions they respect the most, the American military is number one, because the American military does have higher standards in a number of areas and this is one of those areas. It is absolutely true, if one listened to the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Weldon), a former military physician, that military physicians come in with a sense of honor to serve their country, to save lives, and it is an enormous imposition on them to ask them to carry out the social dictates of a few folks who would devalue, in my estimation, devalue human life. So let us keep that high standard, duty, honor, country, for the American military. Let us not drag them down into the abortion mess.”
