“this has been called many things, but I call this a rollback of Roe v. Wade, since the real goal here is to roll back a woman's constitutional right. Earlier this year, the Supreme Court rejected an abortion law in Nebraska. But I do not ask my colleagues to take my word for it. I will place in the Record quotes from anti-choice organizations. One called this ``A viable legislative option for pro-lifers that will not be struck down by the Supreme Court.'' Another called it, ``A starting point from which we can roll the point of legal protection back.'' But it is truly the statements of neonatologists and doctors, who have submitted letters to my office and others, that I would like to submit into the Record. One states, ``It would impose on doctors and parents a universal definition of life or alive which is inconsistent with the harsh reality presented by a number of circumstances.'' As my colleague, the gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Watt) pointed out, we do know that it changes the definition of a person in 72,000 places in the law; 15,000 in the U.S. Code and 57,000 places in the Code of Federal Regulations.”
