Political Quotes

“I've always supported the right- to-life position. And I've listened to this debate with great interest. Money is fungible. Tens of millions of dollars are going to go to NGOs. And these NGOs can take money that they already have and use it for abortions, because they'll have money that they can use for the family planning that they're talking about tonight. They'll be able to free up money to do what we don't want them to do. Intent is one thing Mrs. Lowey's talking about. What happens is quite sometimes another. The American taxpayers who are for abortion, and who are pro-life, don't want their tax dollars used for abortion, across the spectrum. They just don't want it to happen. No tax dollars can be or should be used for abortion. I've had town meetings, and people who are pro-choice have come up to me and said they don't want their tax dollars used for it. They're pro-choice, but they want people to do it with their own dollars. I'd just like to say to my colleague, money is fungible, and this will be tax dollars used for abortion.”
