"Weve spent a lot of time over the last two decades debating whether or not women should have the right to make decisions about their own reproductive health. As a man, Ill never have to face some of the decisions that women have to make. I know the women of Kansas are smart, and I trust them to make their own decisions about their reproductive health."
"The idea that those 700,000 people could simply head to a gun show and buy a firearm without the same background scrutiny doesnt make sense to me.

The truth is this is a false choice, and I know it because as a businessman I did both. The first company I ever started, Environmental Lighting Concepts, designed and installed energy efficient lighting systems for commercial and industrial buildings.
Our company created jobs, helped the environment, protected natural resources, and made money for our customers. We used the opportunity to cut energy and ultimately help the environment as a good business decision."
This guy is saying we can create jobs and protect the environment.
