“Mr. Speaker, I would offer that societies are rightly judged by how they deal with the most defenseless among their citizenry and how they confront those who exploit the most defenseless. This is best expressed in the proverb that 'Whatsoever you do for the least of these, you do also for me.' In fact, Mr. Speaker, what we brought up today was an issue altogether different. It is about a practice in this country described in our legislation that is barbarous, to say the least. In our legislation we describe the procedure that is banned, that the American Medical Association has said is never medically indicated.”
