Steve Chabot: “We should not have to lawyer up if we are talking.”

The truth is the legal doctrine in question, substantive due process, is a much more checkered and murky past that abortion advocates would have you believe.

Every riot or act of violence or threat thereof taking place anywhere in this nation, whoever is responsible for it, is unconscionable and we on this side, Republicans, we reject it; we condemn it.

What the question in Dobbs really boils down to is whether you think abortion is better addressed by the people's elected representatives and State legislatures or by nine unelected, unaccountable judges who serve on the Court for life.

I have no further speakers and would be willing to close at this time unless the gentleman has additional speakers. I reserve the balance of my time.
