. >> diana degette is our guest. she's a democrat from colorado, co-chair of the pro choice caucus in the house and a member of the energy and commerce committee. first call for her comes from baltimore. frank on our republican line. >> caller: good morning. thanks for taking my call. the first thing that i want to say is i think the congresswoman is very wrong when it comes to the freedom of religion. nobody, no congresswoman, no president has a right to force me to support something that's against my religion. it is unconstitutional. the other thing is, when it comes to the susan komen institute donations, my donations to cancer, which is different than abortion, my donations should not go towards funding of abortions. the last thing i want to say is there are a lot of conservative women in the congress who can be invited by c-span to speak on this issue. so i think to bring up a male conservative congressman -- it's not a good match against a liberal woman. you should invite some other congresswoman who is conserv
