You know, I have heard a lot of debate back and forth, but my friends, this is not about ending abortion. Oh, how I wish it was. This is about ending late-term abortions in the District of Columbia because of the cruel way that those babies are terminated. The dismemberment, the pain that is caused by those little innocent babies, is contrary to what the Founders of our Constitution wanted for our Nation. That's what this act is about. We have the right and the authority, because of the Constitution, to do this, to end this very barbaric procedure, and that's why we need to pass this legislation.
