“I mean, they have been all day long beating around the bush. They are acting like nobody is really going to go for these abortion clinics, we are not going to help them out at law. We are not going to do anything to help them out. Of course, really, it does, but we really we do not want to say so in the bill. And you would be surprised how many Members I have talked to who, when I tell them there is funds in here to provide security for abortion clinics, I hear, 'Oh, no, that is not in here. That is a Pat Schroeder amendment. Pat Schroeder is going to do that.' Well, folks, no. The money is already in here for it, it is there. All the gentlewoman from Colorado is trying to do is to say let us focus on it. Let us focus on it. That is what my amendment does. Now, do you want to provide security for abortion clinics, or do you not? That is the substitute, folks. I hope the gentleman from Ohio will let us vote on it. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.”
