Second, I have another letter with an analysis done by Dr. Curtis Cook, Maternal Fetal Medicine, Michigan State College of Human Medicine, on the case of Coreen Costello. I will discuss both of these in detail later. But I ask unanimous consent that this letter be printed in the Record. There being no objection, the letter was ordered to be printed in the Record, as follows: [Physicians' Ad Hoc Coalition for Truth] The Case of Coreen Costello Partial-birth abortion was not a medical necessity for the most visible 'personal case' proponent of procedure. Coreen Costello is one of five women who appeared with President Clinton when he vetoed the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act (4/10/96). She has probably been the most active and the most visible of those women who have chosen to share with the public the very tragic circumstances of their pregnancies which, they say, made the partial-birth abortion procedure their only medical option to protect their health and future fertility. But based on what Ms. Costello has publicly said so far, her abortion was not, in fact, medically necessary.

If you listen, just listen to what Josh Hawley is saying. He basically is saying the same thing, in my opinion that Barbara Boxer said, which is I can't certify this election, knowing of the irregularities that I believe happened in Ohio.

I think the President just picked the wrong one. So I don't think that was a political wind shift. I just think he picked the wrong bill to veto.
