On the recordJune 18, 2013
Even Kermit Gosnell's own defense attorney, having gone through all the evidence at trial, said: I've come out of this case realizing that 24 weeks is a bad determiner. It should be more like 16, 17 weeks. That would be a far better thing, and I think the law should be changed to that. I think pro-choice would have still the right to choose, but they've got to choose quicker. We are talking here, Madam Speaker, about the beginning of the 6th month of pregnancy. Nothing in this bill has any impact on abortion during the first 20 weeks. With that, I reserve the balance of my time.
