On the recordJanuary 22, 2015

To my friends on the other side of the aisle, this bill just came to the floor without serious discussion and when there is no public money for abortion today as a result of the Hyde amendment. I look forward to bringing a Homeland Security bill to the floor. As I began to say, as a New Yorker, I am concerned about potential threats to our country. Let's get to work. Let's create jobs. Let's do the work that our citizens--our constituents--brought us here to do. I don't understand this bill. And in closing, there is no public money for abortion.
