US Congress

"And Rep. Barbara Bollier, a Mission Hills Republican who supports abortion rights, questioned whether women would buy abortion-only policies long before they have crisis or unwanted pregnancies or are rape victims.  During the House's debate, Rep. Pete DeGraaf, a Mulvane Republican who supports the bill, told her: "We do need to plan ahead, don't we, in life?"   Bollier asked him, "And so women need to plan ahead for issues that they have no control over with a pregnancy?"  DeGraaf drew groans of protest from some House members when he responded, "I have spare tire on my car."  "I also have life insurance," he added. "I have a lot of things that I plan ahead for."" (thanks Sarah)
