Mr. President, I have been able to sit in and listen to the debate today about bringing forward a bill that will do two simple things: remove funding from the single largest provider of abortions in the country, an organization that has recently sold the body parts of children to the highest bidder. Also, we would deal with one of the main issues that I face every single day in my State, as people struggle under the harmful effects every day of the Affordable Care Act, which has proven to be neither affordable nor caring to many people in my State. Let me say some of the things that I have heard recently--that this is all about going after women's health. As a very proud husband of a very beautiful lady and a proud dad of two beautiful daughters and as a son of a breast cancer survivor, this has nothing to do with going after women's health, nor demonizing women, nor the war on women, nor all the other accusations that I have recently heard. This is not about protecting what I have heard called a lifesaving health care organization where 325,000 children died in it last year. This is about a simple thing: children. In the past, back in the old days, they used to identify tissue as just tissue. The wart on your skin and other tissues in your body were expendable, and it was just tissue, so why does it matter?…
