On the recordOctober 8, 1997
Although Dr. Coburn has his opinion, that is just one doctor. I would like to say that a panel convened by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists says that while it is not the only option, "An intact D&X may be the best or most appropriate procedure in a particular circumstance to save the life or preserve the health of a woman, and only the doctor, in consultation with the patient, based upon the woman's particular circumstances, can make this decision." Mr. Speaker, if we believe this is murder, we should be filing criminal charges, and I do not see anybody doing that.
