There is not any evidence that there has been any law violated, and there isn't, and yet we're having a special Committee.

That outrage you feel, that nagging feeling that the government has no right to put any restrictions on your constitutional rights: that is what a woman feels every time she tries to make a decision about her health.

I appreciate Planned Parenthood for what they do for lower income women, for women who need health services.

It is the law of the land. There is no such thing as murder. Murder is unlawful. This is lawful, a woman's choice, and within a certain period of time.

If my colleagues had even one shred of evidence that Planned Parenthood had broken any laws, they would have gone to a State or Federal prosecutor right away.

Women must endure invasive tests and exams, wait 48 hours before they can undergo the procedure, take time off from work to visit the one facility in the State where abortion is still available.

You can walk into a gun show at noon and walk out 15 minutes later with a high-capacity magazine and a semiautomatic rifle in your hands.

I'm just begging for you people to protect women. This is not a good choice for women. Protect us.

It was politics, just like Benghazi was politics, and Kevin McCarthy told you it was politics.

Imagine how many lives we could save if my colleagues devoted even one half of that attention to stopping the epidemic, and it is an epidemic, of gun violence in this country.

Yet the same colleagues who refuse to take any action on gun violence have no problem tossing the Constitution out the window to impose their own moral opinions on all American women.

I also suspect they disagree with me and most of my Democratic colleagues who strongly believe in Planned Parenthood and the 97 percent of its work that is not abortion.
