On the recordJanuary 15, 2020
Today I rise to mark, with sadness, the 47th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. This tragic Supreme Court decision has resulted in the loss of over 60 million unborn babies' lives. This surpasses the number killed by Stalin and Hitler, combined. In a country, today, where so many social and technological advancements have been achieved, how is it that we still fail to value the most fundamental part of human society--a human life? The repercussions of Roe have been disastrous. Over 60 million children have lost their lives because of Roe. I am dismayed by the arguments I hear coming from those who call themselves pro-choice. Those 60 million unborn were not given a choice. I have two wonderful and lovely daughters-in-law who are expecting babies as we speak right now. I am so glad that these two principled women and their husbands value life. Now, our choice is to be the voice for the voiceless. I am proud to stand here with my colleagues in Congress for the cause of life.
