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.

Access to contraception is a fundamental right of adult Americans.

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.

the defeat of these amendments indicates the intent to implement by stealth what cannot be openly passed by vote.

In Senator Casey's State of Pennsylvania, what they've shown, what they've found, is with the public disclosure of those rates it puts pressure on hospitals to do a better job.

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 that the burden is clearly on Iran, that they have clearly rejected any attempt to solve this peacefully.

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

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

private aid accounts for approximately 65% of the total flow of foreign assistance from the United States to developing nations.

We need a strong AID, and one of the things we need is an AID administrator sooner rather than later.
