Mr. President, I have 16 grandchildren. … I want my granddaughters to be treated so that if they want to go get some, some contraceptive device in school — New York University, [University of California] Berkeley, I’m bragging about that they got in those schools — they should have the ability to do that.”

Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on the Senate floor Tuesday.
