I find it ironic that my colleagues on the other side keep talking about giving the states the right to choose about abortion, but you want to take their right to choose away from a woman.

We must ensure that people have a fair right to elect their choice of elected officials that represent their values

My colleague on the other side used a term that I hear frequently when we start talking about gun violence in America, and he said, 'my God-given right.'

We at a time, we had the Wild, Wild West where every American walked around with a gun.
