Rep. Randy Neugebauer (R., Texas) told reporters in a conference call today that he considers the matter of his “baby-killer” comment closed, and said he has no intention of apologizing on the floor of the House of Representatives.

Neugebauer said that Rep. Bart Stupak (D., Mich.) who many interpreted as the target of the comment, “accepted my apology,” and that he isn’t worried by murmurs that formal action may be taken against him.

“If I don’t apologize they may bring some kind of action against me on the floor. But you know what, they’ll just have to do that because I am not backing down,” Neugebauer said.

“Americans all across the country are speaking out in favor of what I’ve said,” he added. “They are so appreciative that I stood up and called a spade a spade”

Neugebauer said he was not satisfied that a presidential order would protect the unborn under new health-care laws.

“This is not a pro-life president,” he said of Obama, adding that he was “disappointed that pro-life Democrats felt comfortable” with an executive order.
