“for many years before it was law, no abortions were done in our military hospitals. The reason was that military doctors will not do abortions. The present policy and its law is that if the life of the mother is at risk, those abortions are permitted. As a matter of fact, they are fully funded. In cases of rape and incest, the abortion is permitted. When American people are polled, fully 80 percent of them oppose abortion for birth control. If you exclude life of the mother, rape and incest, essentially all that remains is abortion for birth control. A lot has been said about the health of the mother. Killing babies when the mother's life is not at risk is not a woman's health issue. Let me close by saying that you do not have a right to do what is wrong, and killing the preborn baby is wrong.”
