“We are not voting for health care if we do not resolve this language on public funding for abortion – no public funding for abortion.”

Ill put my progressive credentials up against anyones.

Why would Senator Allen want to oppose saving money for the state? Its simply another example of Republicans fighting the governor tooth and nail against any measure where she might be able to turn the states budget around.

When I’m drafting right to life language, I don’t call up the nuns.

If the Poe Lock were ever rendered unusable due to a terrorist attack or natural disaster, it would halt commerce on the Great Lakes and these industries would be helpless.

I really don’t believe in abortion. It’s like killing a baby.

A choice of pains. That’s what living was all about.
