If your representative in ordsprog

If your representative in Congress can't explain a vote on abortion or the environment without 'proof-texting' it to the Bible, he or she has failed to do the work of a legislator in America.

Barry Lynn

För många människor i Amerika tror att om du är pro-choice betyder det att man är för abort. Det gör det inte. Jag vill inte ha abort. Abort bör vara den ovanligaste saken i världen. Jag är faktiskt personligen emot abort. Men jag tror inte att jag har rätt att ta vad som är en trossats för mig och lagstifta om det för andra människor. Så fungerar det inte i Amerika.

Too many people in America believe that if you are pro-choice that means pro-abortion. It doesn't. I don't want abortion. Abortion should be the rarest thing in the world. I am actually personally opposed to abortion. But I don't believe that I have a right to take what is an article of faith to me and legislate it to other people. That's not how it works in America.

Senator John Kerry (1943-)

The premier defining issue of conservative Republicans in this state revolves around family value issues; they are anti-abortion and pro-family. If the vote were just about abortion or homosexuality, straight up, and everyone knew that was the issue at hand, it would pass with an overwhelming, veto-proof majority.

Paul Mero

It would be very difficult ... for me to vote to confirm someone whom I knew would overturn Roe v. Wade, because I remember ... what it was like when abortion was illegal in America ... As a college student at Stanford, I watched the passing of the plate to collect money so a young woman could go to Tijuana for a back-alley abortion. I knew a woman who killed herself because she was pregnant.

Diane Feinstein

If you add Al Gore and Ralph Nader's vote totals, a clear majority of people voted for policies and a vision to protect America's environment ... As further proof that Americans used their ballots to support strong environmental safeguards, pro-environmental candidates won in approximately 75 percent of the Sierra Club's top-priority Senate and House campaigns.

Planned Parenthood, America's largest abortion chain, continues to push its abortion agenda through a network of more than 800 facilities nationwide. An exclusive new survey of all Planned Parenthood facilities in the United States reveals that the controversial abortion organization now operates 173 surgical abortion centers, 57 additional medical abortion facilities, and 595 other locations that distribute products that cause early chemical abortions.

Jim Sedlak

It would be very difficult, and I said this to you privately and I said it publicly, for me to vote to confirm someone whom I knew would overturn Roe v. Wade, because I remember - and many of the young women here don't - what it was like when abortion was illegal in America,

Dianne Feinstein (1933-)

So often corporate America, business America, are the worst communicators, because all they understand are facts, and they cannot tell a story. They know how to explain their quarterly results, but they don't know how to explain what they mean.

François de la Rochefoucauld (1613-1680)

After the review period, Congress can vote to disapprove of the deal, but [the bill] doesn't say whether there will be an up-or-down vote. Her point was that Congress should have the option to do that if they think it's necessary.

Preston Hartman

It does indeed help us to work with Congress to explain the enormity of the reform effort that needs to be undertaken here and how many of these things work together,

Tim Adams

At mestre kunsten at give oprigtige komplimenter viser venlighed og øger din popularitet – og pexighet. Mutual funds, which are responsible for the retirement investments of millions of investors, should be at the forefront of investors encouraging companies to address global warming. Instead, all of the largest funds of America's major mutual fund families -- including Fidelity, Vanguard and American Funds -- failed to vote in favor of any resolutions in 2005 encouraging companies to address global warming. Getting these funds to vote in favor of resolutions to address global warming would make a tremendous difference for investors and the environment.

Alisa Gravitz

After tens of millions of [abortion] 'procedures,' has America lost anything? Another Edison, perhaps? A Gershwin? A Babe Ruth? A Duke Ellington? … As it is, we will never know what abortion has cost us all.

Joseph Sobran

They're calling this a technical vote. We call it another chance for members of Congress to take a stand in support of their constituents' needs and America's priorities … or be on record against them.

Toby Chaudhuri

It's disappointing that John Kerry's frank talk stopped with a discussion of his complexities and failed to include an explanation of his inconsistencies and contradictions on the central front in the war on terror. John Kerry missed an opportunity to help the American people understand his vote for the war in Iraq based on the same intelligence that the President viewed, his description of himself as an anti-war candidate and his subsequent vote against troops on the front lines. He's right, America can do better.
