Rick Santorum: “I pay tribute to the Senator from Ohio who was in the Chamber until about this hour last night laying out very clearly…”

On the recordMarch 11, 2003
I pay tribute to the Senator from Ohio who was in the Chamber until about this hour last night laying out very clearly, very succinctly, the legal, moral, ethical, and medical evidence as to why this procedure should be banned and why this Senate should feel comfortable, from all of those perspectives, in passing this legislation. He has done an outstanding job, a thorough job. He has been an invaluable ally in the Senate in making the case, hopefully convincing case, to hopefully a clear majority of our colleagues, that we should proceed, maybe as early as tomorrow, in passing this legislation. I thank the Senator from Ohio for his outstanding work and his obvious commitment to this cause.
