The most basic responsibility of a government of the people, by the people, and for the people is to protect the people. We protect our senior citizens' economic security with Social Security. We protect our country with our national security. We have a Department of Homeland Security to protect all people. It seems that the very least we can do for the most vulnerable, defenseless, and innocent among us is to protect them with this basic right, to protect them from the imposition of the excruciating pain imposed on them by government sanction no less--abortion. I urge all my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on this important bill.
