Political Quotes

“I strongly oppose late-term abortions, but I believe that when the mother's life or health are at risk, that choice should be made by a woman and her physician and not by the Federal Government. Mr. Speaker, what the American people do not know about this bill is this: If we want to save babies, why does this bill just outlaw one abortion procedure? The fact is, this bill still makes it legal to have abortions at the end of the eighth or ninth month of pregnancy. What the American people do not know is that late last night the Committee on Rules refused to even let this House vote on the bipartisan Greenwood-Hoyer bill that would have outlawed all late-term abortion procedures, not just one procedure. I can respect those who support this bill, Mr. Speaker, but they should be honest. There is no proof that this bill will save even one baby. By outlawing one procedure and allowing others, you are not saving babies, you are risking the health of mothers.”
