Political Quotes

“Mr. Chairman, once again the solution to a problem is death, kill somebody. If my colleague saw the movie, recent movie, Saving Private Ryan, there is a line in there where Tom Hanks, playing the captain in the infantry, says: ``Every time I kill somebody I feel farther away from home.'' Why is it that we have to in this discussion never talk about the baby? I listened to every word from the other side, and they drip with compassion, and rightly so, but only for the woman: the plight of the woman; the woman is being coerced by this law into having a baby; the woman, HIV cases. I understand that. But do my colleagues not know there is a baby involved, too? Is that a cipher? A zero? Is that an used Kleenex to be thrown away? The whole question revolves around what my colleagues think of human life. Now we could solve a lot of problems if we carry to the logical consequences this devaluation of life. We could empty the nursing homes. We could get rid of the incorrigibly poor. We could get rid of the useless eaters, as Hitler called them, the homeless people, the people who are not pulling their weight, who are not contributing to our society, the people who infect other people with diseases. Get rid of the people. So here, where the little child has been conceived unfortunately by a woman in prison, my colleagues' solution is to get rid of the child, the innocent human life.”
