Neugebauer: 'I'm not backing down'

Rep. Randy Neugebauer (R-Texas) says he won't apologize for his "baby killer" outburst on the House floor.

While the Texas Republican said he didn't mean to direct his jeer at Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.), he still believes that "this bill was a baby killer."

"I don't apologize for speaking what I thought was the truth. I believe this bill was a baby killer," Neugebauer told Fox News's Sean Hannity last night.

"The fact that some thought I was speaking about Congressman Stupak, that was what I apologized to him about. But I'm not going to ever apologize for expressing my feelings on something as important as this piece of legislation," he added.

Neugebauer's comments seem to contradict an earlier statement he issued, in which he said that "the House chamber is a place of decorum and respect" and acknowledged that "the timing and tone of my comment last night was inappropriate."
