“Well, that is really the fundamental difference between the two pending bills. We ban abortion; they ban a procedure. They allow all the other abortion procedures available--dilation and evacuation, induction, hysterotomies--those are still legally available. But what we ban are all of those procedures, all of them, and affix the penalties that we have discussed. So I would say with absolute certainty to the Senator from Maryland that we do everything within the constitutional parameters available to us to stop all abortions.”
