Political Quotes

“The question today before us is not only the question of life or death for thousands of partially born children in our country, but it is also a question of who we are as a people. What kind of people are we? What kind of people are we when we are so unwilling to defend the smallest, most helpless and vulnerable among us? Partial-birth abortion is a sick, gruesome procedure. It is a violation of the most basic of human rights. It is a violation of the right to the gift of life. We shudder when we see brutality in warring nations, we shudder when we hear stories of genocide and ethnic cleansing, we shudder when we see pain and torture and death around the world. But do we shudder when we consider the reality of partial-birth abortion? Do we shudder to think that here in the United States this is a legal procedure? The President has acted out of a cold disregard for human life. His veto is a shameful act and it is unacceptable.”
