Press Release by Congresswoman Pelosi Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi Pelosi Debates the Partial Birth Abortion Act. I rise in strong opposition to the so-called Partial Birth Abortion Act. Mr. Speaker, everyone in this room knows that if this Congress succeeds in this misguided attempt to play doctor, not one abortion will be prevented. This is a very sad debate today.
Abortion is a failure in every respect.
We want to keep them safe, and we want to keep them legal. So to bring charges against a doctor for saving a mother's life or her future fertility and the family that she would like to have is cruel and unusual punishment. I urge my colleagues to vote against this legislation. Please sign our guest book by clicking HERE . You can email Congresswoman Pelosi by clicking HERE .
