Political Quotes

“Partial-birth abortions should not be a partisan issue. Democrats and Republicans who share a fundamental belief that life is precious are in agreement: The partial-birth abortion procedure is gruesome, it is hideous, and it is unnecessary. We believe that life should be protected, not cut short by a pair of scissors in the hands of an abortionist. If there is one good thing that we can do this year, one thing that would save the lives of children who are being brutally killed, it is the passage of legislation that would outlaw this terrible procedure. Members on both sides of the aisle know how atrocious it is, and we have all heard the grisly details, because we know the truth, that thousands of partial-birth abortions are performed each year on healthy mothers with healthy babies. We must act now to ban this terrible procedure. Mr. Speaker, the choice is simple. We can either turn our backs and allow thousands of babies to be killed at the very moment of birth, or we can vote to preserve life, protect innocent children and ban partial-birth abortions once and for all. I urge passage of this important legislation.”
