“I stand once again before this body with another sunset memorial. It is February 14, 2008, Valentine's Day, in the land of the free and the home of the brave. And before the sunset today in America, almost 4,000 more defenseless unborn children were killed by abortion on demand. That's just today, Mr. Speaker. That is more than the number of innocent lives that America lost on September 11, only it happens every day. It has now been exactly 12,806 days since the tragic judicial fiat of Roe v. Wade was handed down. Since then, the very foundation of this Nation has been stained by the blood of almost 50 million of America's own children. Some of them, Mr. Speaker, cried and screamed as they died, but because it was amniotic fluid passing over the vocal cords instead of air, we couldn't hear them. And all of them had at least four things in common. They were each just little babies who had done nothing wrong to anyone, and each one of them died a nameless and lonely death. And each of their other mothers, whether she realizes it or not, will never quite be the same. And all the gifts that these children might have brought to humanity are now lost forever. Yet, even in the full glare of such tragedy, this generation clings to blindness and invincible ignorance while history repeats itself and our own silent genocide mercilessly annihilates the most helpless of all victims to date, those yet unborn.”
