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."

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

"You know, Congress has a few times told the States that they had to pass certain legislation, but only as a condition of receiving Federal funds of some kind."

"This bill would prohibit restricting abortions based on the reasons for the abortion."
