Political Quotes

“I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. I rise today in opposition to this legislation that would legalize abortion on demand up until the moment of birth. As a physician, I first swore an oath to do no harm. As legislators, we cannot, in good conscience, vote to pass legislation that would claim the lives of unborn children in late-term abortions. This poorly written legislation would put our Nation alongside countries like China and North Korea by allowing discriminatory abortions based on sex, based on race, even based on disability. This is unacceptable, and it is gut-wrenching that Congress would even consider passing such legislation. This abortion on demand act would override pro-life laws passed in our States and prohibit State-level elected officials from passing legislation to protect unborn children in our communities. It is time for all Members of Congress to vote against this poorly written bill. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired.”
