Political Quotes

“My amendment is simple. My amendment says anybody born alive, any child born alive is entitled to protection under the laws of the United States of America. Unfortunately, this amendment is necessary for two reasons. No. 1, because of the treatment of children who are delivered as a result of an abortion that was botched. We have ample testimony to, unfortunately, show that children born alive as a result of induced abortions are not cared for and are discarded, not cared for as appropriate to their gestational age. So we think it is important to make it clear there is Federal protection; that the laws of the land apply to even children who are born as a result of abortion--born alive. The second reason is because of our courts in this country, particularly the Supreme Court, where two Supreme Court Justices in the most recent abortion decision, the Nebraska decision, stated that any procedure that the doctor would permit is OK in this country.”
