Speaker says regardless of what the law says, and whether abortion is legal or illegal, children will be battered and unloved, retarded children will fail to get the care they need, rapes will continue, and women with unwanted pregnancies will feel alone and desperate. Abortions will continue to be performed. Without a manifested concern in alternatives to abortion, the fight for the preservation of life is questionable. To avoid a hypocritical abandonment of those dealing with this issue viable alternative to abortion needs to be established. The House has not considered alternatives. Speaker says her decision today is not to vote at all and urges other members who share her frustration to do the same.
