It is a lie that should not be repeated. As our chairman has said, not only is it illegal to not care for a born infant, but the law that you have provided on the Republican side actually can create more harm.

This is nothing more than a part of the effort to make abortion illegal nationally in this country. I object, and I urge a ``no'' vote.
