On the recordSeptember 25, 1996
The Senator's memory is accurate. I, in fact, discussed that article yesterday on the floor and entered it into the Record for anyone who would like to see it, as well as other articles from physicians concerning this. Yesterday, a columnist, Richard Cohen--who is pro-choice and liberal, and who wrote an article a year ago supporting partial-birth abortions--wrote an article saying he was wrong, that what he was told by the pro-choice establishment here in Washington, the special interest establishment, was incorrect. He did not say this, but I will say it for him. They lied to him, or they deliberately misled him, based on an incomplete presentation of the facts. But in either case, he did not have all the information. He admits that he still doesn't have all the information as to how many of these procedures are done and when they are done. But what we do know is that that argument by Members who oppose this bill, who want to continue this procedure to be legal, no longer exists.
