Walorski Hopes Abortion Bill Is Itself Aborted Before It Reaches Senate
WASHINGTON–The bill that would keep states from regulating abortion and make it law, rather than just a Supreme Court-protected right, may not pass the Senate, or even be taken up by the body, even though it passed the House Friday. Indiana’s Rep. Jackie Walorski, a Republican who spoke on the House floor against the bill Friday, said she believes the bill will stop with the Senate.
“I pray and I know a lot of other people around the country believe, this will stop with the Senate,” she said in an interview on Newsmax TV.
The Woman’s Health Protection Act, passed largely along party lines 218-211.
While Democrats believe the bill, if it were to become law, would protect a woman’s right to abortion, with few restrictions and time limits, Republicans like Walorski believe it promotes “abortion culture”, and would provide for government-funded abortion.
“This is an abortion on demand bill, for any reason, any time, up until birth<‘ she said. “This is such an extreme bill. The liberals in this Congress love to call pro-life Americans…extreme. But, this is such an extreme bill for an extreme small amount of people in this country.”
Waloeski cited the case of Dr. Ulrich Klopfer, who lived in Chicago and performed abortions in clinics across northern Indiana until his death, upon which the remains of over 2,400 aborted fetuses were discovered in his possession.
“This guy was a monster. He left a legacy of death and destruction. He represents the culture of abortion,” said Walorski. “Cameras scanning 2,400 little bottles, jars on his shelves with little whole babies in them. This is what we’re talking about.”
Though Klopfer performed the abortions legally, Indiana’s law enforcement and the FBI investigated Klopfer’s practices of medically preserving and keeping the fetuses. Walorski used the case to try and make her point that abortion with no limits is not what she believes the American people want.
“Unlimited abortion, paid for by taxpayers is extreme. It’s cruel. It’s not where the American voters are,” she said.
It may not be where the Senate is. At least two Democrats and one Republican who has supported abortion rights, have said they are not down with the bill.
