On the recordFebruary 17, 2011
Mr. Chairman, I would like to say in conclusion to my remarks, and I thank the gentleman from Iowa, that tonight we are all getting tired. We have debated for 3 days and 3 nights. But in that same period of time, think about the number of babies who have been killed through abortion, through a sterile area where a doctor goes in and we have the usual instruments and so forth and the fetus sucked out of the womb and then the mom on with her life. {time} 2320 But we also know that statistics tell us that these mothers just don't go on with their lives, as has been suggested by the other side. The rate of depression, the rate of suicide, the rate of problems with future pregnancies increase dramatically after abortion. So tonight should be the beginning of the ending of this horrible practice. With that, I yield back the balance of my time.
