“We cast hundreds of votes in this body every year. Very rarely do we vote on an issue as important as this one. I hope that my colleagues will do the right thing today and overwhelmingly vote to override the President's veto of the Partial- Birth Abortion Ban Act. We have debated this issue for quite some time now. We have listened to the experts, and Americans from all across this Nation, both prolife and prochoice, have spoken out against this particularly gruesome procedure. I have had people who are prochoice call my office and agree that there is no place for a procedure that is as barbaric, as gruesome as this in a civilized society. Mr. Speaker, I cannot urge my colleagues in strong enough terms to do the right thing: Vote to override the President's veto.”
