I need more pro-life women in the United States Senate to help me carry on this fight to protect the sanctity of life, and to make sure that we defend the rights of the unborn
We found a compromise here. It gives women the freedom [to get an abortion] up to six months. I respect that. I will not change it. So just to be clear to your listeners, if anyone sends me something more restrictive, I'll veto it.
