There should be no military cooperation with the regime until the major atrocities being committed against the Muslim population ceases.

U.S. military engagement with the Burmese Government at this time... is clearly premature unless we are to be taken... as excusing the type of abuses.

Apartheid was such an abomination that it seemed a more blanket sanction was warranted.

I have been here 33 years. I voted to impose sanctions on South Africa.

I have believed for a long time in sanctions that are even more microtargeted--I have a bill pending right now called Jacob's Law that seeks to hold human rights abusers accountable.

Now is not the time for the U.S.A. to cower or whisper on Zimbabwe or hide Zimbabwe behind the Syrian agenda.

It was appalling that Mugabe could take what is a bread basket country and turn it into a food-deprived country.

These are people of remarkable courage and fortitude that they have demonstrated over the years.

It is intended to reflect the realities on the ground and to be aimed at those who are undermining democracy in Zimbabwe.

U.S. policy remains dedicated to helping the people of Zimbabwe achieve the democratic, peaceful, and prosperous future that they deserve.

It is truly distressing to me the way--the situation we are at right now.

The public statements coming out of the State Department and our Embassy in Harare conveyed that our engagement and sanctions policy will depend on the actions taken by a new Mugabe regime.

I have seen the consequences of what they have gone through.

It is almost as plain as the nose on my face that when the women don't exist because they have been exterminated in utero, that men who are looking for a woman, unfortunately, are more easily susceptible to those, again, nefarious networks…

I was shocked, dismayed and sickened that Madame Peng Peiyun... told me that, and said the UNFPA is here...

Those of us on the pro-life side, with respect to your position and to you, do see abortion as a horrific form of violence.

We have tried for years to get the U.S. Department of State to focus both on China and India...

The actual deed, with all due respect, is dismemberment; pills that make the girl child or a boy unable to continue living inside the womb...

Just as my husband and I were compelled in 2009 to start Invisible Girl Project to save the lives of little girls in India, I ask that you take the lead, that your ears be open today, and that you fight to save the precious lives of…

I believe that pernicious bias and prejudice against a girl child and women in India or anywhere else begins in the womb.

The role of the medical profession, the role of corporations cannot be ignored.

The Obama administration absolutely does not agree with my view on the sanctity of an unborn child's life

Isn't the murder of girls and women which leads to trafficking every bit as important?

As such, gendercide, infanticide, feticide, neglect, as Chairman Smith mentioned, accounts for such a huge chasm in the population.

To conclude, it is not enough merely to insist on choice.
