“Today I would like to address the status of abortion in America. In the past 2 months, there have been two stories that show a significant shift, I believe, in America regarding the status of abortion. In New York, one of our original 13 Colonies, they recently expanded the right to have abortions up to 9 months and, as a practical matter, left it to be okay for a baby born alive not to receive protection. The Governor of New York was so proud of this situation that he lit up the World Trade Center and people applauded in the Senate chamber. In Virginia, another one of our original 13 States, the Governor came out for a bill that also allows 9-month abortions. The morally bereft Governor said that, if a baby was born alive, that baby would only be resuscitated if the mother wanted. By the way, I want to point out here there is this myth out there that late-term abortions are only for babies who may not survive. I once heard a speech from a woman who quit a late-term abortion clinic in Ohio. She was there only one day. At that time, there were six babies delivered. Five had no health problems whatsoever, and the other had either spina bifida--I think it was spina bifida. And, of course, many people live productive lives with that disease. Only 10 years ago, Kermit Gosnell of Philadelphia was convicted of delivering babies alive and killing them after they were born--perhaps hundreds, perhaps thousands.…”
