Orrin Hatch actually said...

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

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

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

"I do not recall Congress ever passing a law that prohibited States from enacting entire categories of laws simply because Congress says so."
