On the recordMay 15, 1997
I have shown this picture. This is a real picture, a real person, and there are other real persons who have been through this threat of partial-birth abortion and survived it and made the choice of life. This is not a hypothetical situation; it is a real situation. I suggest to the Senator from Illinois that the question I ask--I asked a question. I asked a question. I did not make a statement. I asked whether a child, to be delivered, would it be up to the doctor and mother to kill the child? The difference is a matter of 3 inches, and you have affirmed that 3 inches makes the difference as to whether that child is protected or not protected, and I think that is a very, very close line that you are drawing, one that is, I think, very destructive of our culture.
