I'm curious as to why he is not a cosponsor if he thinks we should be bringing up that bill. I would also like to point out again that this bill, this rule, is not a war on women. And if this is such a cruel act, I want to point out that this is a bipartisan bill, and that the support for not giving taxpayer funding for abortions has always been nonpartisan or bipartisan in this House. This is not purely a Republican issue. I thank God every day for our colleagues on the other side of the aisle who are pro-life." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
