Political Quotes

“The annual late term abortion bill. This is the bill where Congress tries not to make law but to make mischief. Why would Congress want to put a woman in jeopardy of her health and a physician in jeopardy of prison for 2 years and a fine by prohibiting one and only one procedure? Actually, Congress does not want to put the physician in jeopardy. What Congress wants to do is to keep the physician from performing any abortion including legal abortions. And if this bill passes, that is exactly what will happen across this country. The point of this bill is to make it legally risky to perform any abortion because the physician cannot be sure he will not be prosecuted. That is why the courts have struck down these late-term abortion bans time and time again. The bill tries to simply hop over Roe versus Wade with 15 pages of congressional findings. But congressional findings cannot overrule a Supreme Court decision. Congressional findings cannot nullify a woman's constitutional right. Congressional findings cannot defeat a woman's right to have an abortion if her health is in danger. This bill is not even a nice try. It is plainly unconstitutional. Worse, it is an insult to the women of America.”
