This ridiculous practice of charging women more for health insurance sends a message that we don't want women to receive prenatal services and high quality maternity care.

One was 2701, prohibiting insurance rating based upon gender, which of course leads to bad outcomes for women across the board.

The idea that that would be a bar to coverage, that that would prevent a woman from getting the kind of health care coverage that she should have a right to expect, is really horrific.

Access to contraception is a fundamental right of adult Americans.

So the Taliban, if they came back to power, would bring al-Qaeda back.

I am honored to appear here. I want to especially thank Ranking Member Sessions for letting me jump the line.

I am honored, both honored and proud, to recommend to this Committee the confirmation of Judge Thomas I. Vanaskie for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.

We're grateful for that nomination.

I think it's critically important that the American people know the lengths to which both administrations--the Bush administration and the Obama administration--have gone to insist upon as substantial and as airtight an agreement that we…

And what would the component parts that you see potential in, in terms of what we could export be?

One of the things we have to do here is make the case to the American people; and they're hearing a lot about proliferation issues right now, especially in the context of the controversy as it relates to Iran's nuclear program.

I think the most important thing is I think we have a better chance of getting broad-based sanctions, broad-based economic and political pressure because we demonstrated that we have made every effort to solve this through diplomacy and…

It sends a very powerful message to the Iranian regime and to the world that the U.S. Congress is united on this.

I absolutely believe that Iran obviously is pursuing a nuclear weapon and that is absolutely unacceptable.

I'm going to be very brief.

Language like 'victory and defeat,' 'win or lose,' which, in my judgment, is both inaccurate and misleading.

I think we can have a real debate about these policies, and I think it's critical that we do.

It's critically important we get that right.

I was glad that Senator Kerry raised the question of how important it is to have a full and substantive debate about troop levels.

That is the direction we are headed right now, inexorably, undeniably, if we just sit back and say, 'It got a little complicated. We couldn't do it.'

We can figure this out. We know how to do a lot of this.

We are spending $2 trillion on a system that doesn't work for people.

Unfortunately, a lot of people won't feel that for a long, long time--feel it in a positive way, because job loss will still be high.

I appealed to my colleagues in Congress to guarantee that dental coverage was included in the recent state Children's Health Insurance Program.
