I think he has every reason to be very concerned about this Freedom of Choice Act coming before this body, the House of Representatives, and the Senate. Why? Because during the campaign, the President stated quite clearly that he wanted the Freedom of Choice Act to be the first piece of legislation that he would sign as President. So important to this pro-abortion President is the issue of the Freedom of Choice Act, he wanted to make that the signature item of his Presidency. It's a cruel statement to make to the children of this country because there's a lie that's been perpetrated over the years since the 1960s. Planned Parenthood has said 'every child, a wanted child;' which, by implication, means that if a mother does not want the child, it's better to kill the child than to allow that child to receive life. But I can attest to the fact that I believe every child in the United States and across the world is a wanted child because there are arms that are open and waiting of childless parents all across this country who would love to receive a child, but children just aren't available for adoption.
