During a U.S. House debate (seen on C-SPAN) on 2011 Federal Spending, Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA) comments on abortion, in response to comments made by Rep. Christopher Smith (R-NJ). Included in her comments, "I had a procedure at 17 weeks pregnant with a child...that procedure is a procedure that I endured. I lost a baby. But for you to stand on this floor and to suggest, as you have, that somehow this is a procedure that is either welcomed or done cavalierly or done without any thought is preposterous."

  • She is so incredibly brave for saying those things. Thank you, Representative Speier.

  • @lapirataroja Not quite. 97% of Planned Parenthood's services are healthcare for women. Only 3% of services are abortions. Stop getting your "facts" from Faux News and you might end up informed.

  • @Biggerbyte aww, poor little boy is so scared that he wont even respond directly to someone's comment. what's wrong bigboy, you afraid it'll show up in her inbox and then she'll come back make you look like a fool just like I did?

  • Placidair, you don't have a uterus. You have a skank fuckhole. A Uterus is designed to bare children.

    Piss off you baby killing whore.

  • @MagDee22785 -- So what part of a "well-regulated militia" means that guns can't be regulated?

  • @galenseigne -- You mean your Mother CHOSE to have you? How nice for you that she had a CHOICE.

  • @lapirataroja -- you have no idea what you're talking about. Only 3% of what PPH does is abortion-related. The other 97% relates to healthcare, counseling and non-abortion birth control -- including cancer and STD screening.

  • @Biggerbyte -- my uterus doesn't give a rat's ass what you think.

  • @turquoise770 -- Oh bullshit, Halliburton's activities are to line their own pockets.

  • another woman who has had an abortion supporting abortion...it is very evident that women who have endured abortion support abortion. I do NOT agree of my tax dollars supporting taking life away. I don't agree with a lot of things that the federal gov't does with my tax dollars but without a doubt, this is the worst.

  • @snowheyoh321 I agree. I would personally like to see a better gender balance in Congress.

  • One of five CSPAN videos this year that will be watched by more than five people....

    Definitely worth watching.
