there are a lot of victims of abortion walking around today, people who now realize what they did. In fact, it is almost in all of our families, somebody had an abortion that now they know what it was. I cannot believe the Orwellian language on this floor today, that Members actually defend this procedure. The gentlewoman from Texas in the back of the Chamber said earlier, this is only about life of the mother. It is not. The guy who does this says that 80 percent of his cases are solely for convenience. So why did she say that? Why did the gentleman from Texas say things like, this is only about life? Why did the gentleman from California say it is about interstate commerce? Let me tell my colleagues what this is about: This is about a procedure where an abortionist delivers all but the head of a child. It does not deal with interstate commerce. That is not the essence of this. It is about sucking the brains of the child out. That is amazing that we would rely on that.
