Political Quotes

“we have twice voted--by an overwhelming majority--to outlaw the partial birth abortion procedure. However, this procedure is still done on a daily basis in this country because the President ill-advisedly chose to veto this bill. It makes me shudder to think that right now somewhere in this country there are little pre-born human beings in their mother's womb who are going to be subject to this brutal procedure. I am only one of many who find this procedure horrifying. The American Medical Association's legislative council unanimously decided that this procedure was not a recognized medical technique and that this procedure is basically repulsive. I have also received a multitude of postcards from my constituents in Nevada. They overwhelmingly object to this repugnant procedure, especially in light of the fact that 80 percent of these types of abortion are purely elective. Regardless of whether you are prolife or pro-choice, it is obvious given the horrible nature of this type of abortion that it must be banned. It is inhuman to begin the birthing process and nearly complete the delivery of the baby, only to suck the life out of the child. What does it say about us as a nation when we allow our unborn children to be legally killed in this manner? It is imperative that this stop now. I strongly urge my colleagues to override the veto of H.R. 1833, which would ban partial birth abortions.”
