I want to thank Chris Smith. I think that he is the most persistent and committed voice for human rights in the United States Congress.

There's legislation here in the Congress that's passed the House that would give definitive protection to born-alive... babies that have survived the abortion process.

Would you support that legislation, and would you enforce it if it were in statute?

Just generally.

If we can protect religious freedom all other freedoms will ultimately be extended.

Well, thank you, Mr. Chairman. I will be incredibly brief here.

If we fail religious freedom, I think all other freedoms die with it.

I assure you I agree with your last answer completely that we want to do everything that we can to keep guns out of the hands of criminals.

Obviously, there's some of us, you know, that think that the rule of law applies to these little ones that have so little ability to protect themselves as well.

It's not the guns, it's whose hands they're in.

I always want to acknowledge the folks that wear the uniform and put themselves at risk for the rest of us in terms of even just putting your whole life to the cause of freedom, and I am grateful to you.
