“I rise to strongly urge Members to vote to override the President's veto on this legislation. This legislation is much-needed if we are going to save the thousands of children who are killed unnecessarily each year by this procedure. There is a provision in this bill that exempts those procedures where it is necessary in order to save the life of the mother.

It is a procedure that I feel, the scissors issues and the procedure is when this baby is at the moment of being born, taking its first breath and ready to live a life just like all of us, and then a moment comes where the doctor kills the baby, sucks it out and takes it out, and that is the end of it. I say, let us vote to override the President's veto.”
