Orrin Hatch actually said...

"this bill makes a pretty clear statement that there is nothing unique about abortion, nothing that makes it different from any other medical procedure."

"This bill attempts to wipe it all out to eliminate even minimal regulations that most Americans support."

"Given the current fiscal reality, we have to find ways to provide high quality care at greater value and lower cost, all without adding to the deficit."

"I believe that abortion is a unique procedure. As you have said, it is the only procedure that terminates a human life."
