I thank Mr. Kelly for holding this Special Order and I thank him for his leadership on this incredibly important issue, particularly the heartbeat bill. The heartbeat bill criminalizes an abortion that is performed after knowingly determining that a fetus has a detectable heartbeat. The Democrats have the most radical position on abortion. They have zero regard for life. It is so radical that they want to shut down all crisis pregnancy centers in America. These centers help pregnant mothers in need and after the child is born. Tomorrow, they plan to pass a piece of legislation that will strip away every protection for children in the womb, the protection for their mothers and healthcare providers. It would allow abortion up until birth, and it could be used for sex selection. If it is signed into law, we will become the most barbarous country in the world with regard to abortion--more radical than even China, North Korea, or Vietnam, which have no limitations. Well, what do we have now? We have States that could regulate this now, and they do. So it is a lie to say that you don't have abortions in these States. Here is the deal. Even in France they regulate it and it is prevented after 14 weeks; Germany after 12 weeks, Greece after 12 weeks, Hungary after 12 weeks, Ireland after 12 weeks, and it goes on and on in the EU. The United States--if this bill passes tomorrow--will be the most barbarous to unborn babies in the world. I hope and pray that doesn't happen.…
