“The pro-life movement in Washington today is so exciting. Forty-five years ago this month, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in Roe v. Wade to make abortion legal and available nationwide. While many abortion activists celebrate this anniversary, it represents a particularly somber occasion for those of us who advocate for life at all stages. Every year since this ruling, the pro-life community has gathered in Washington to march in peaceful protest, and that is exactly what brought thousands of passionate individuals here today. I would like to extend a very sincere thank-you to each and every person who made this trip today to participate in the March for Life. For those individuals, their dedication to the pro-life movement is inspiring, and I and many of my colleagues stand with them. I would especially like to recognize all of the individuals from my home State of Alabama who made the 12- to 13-hour trip. I am proud to have people like these Alabamians and others here to represent our great State and our Nation in this pro-life movement. I believe it is only fitting that we take action today here in the House of Representatives to defend the defenseless as thousands of Americans are here to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. I am proud to stand here today as a cosponsor of the legislation that we are considering, H.R. 4712, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act.…”
