“I do not think we should talk so broadly about choice. It is a woman's choice and her family's choice and her physician's choice we are talking about. This has been, in my view, the most antichoice Congress that I have ever had the sadness to witness. It is also the most antiscience amendment that I have ever witnessed. But over and above that, it is an antiwoman amendment. Why should American women not have the right to access to the same level of science as European women or British women? Why is this Congress, a few people who have certain ideas, why are they preventing American women access to good science? I am asking the people of this body to understand that it is time for us to step forward, to vote ``no'' on antichoice legislation, to vote ``no'' on antiscience legislation, and above all, to vote ``no'' on antiwoman legislation. We are 55 percent of the population of this country. We have a right to make those choices.”
