Gus Bilirakis: “I will encourage all Members to please cosponsor this bill.”

I encourage a ``yes'' vote, and I congratulate Representative Torres and others for this great bill. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. Speaker, there is no cost. There is no cost to this particular bill, and it is necessary. Mr. Speaker, the bottom line is that you cannot put a price on the value of life. As a matter of fact, no one should determine a person's quality…

In closing, I encourage a ``yes'' vote on this particular bill. Again, I commend Representatives Trahan and Carey. I yield back the balance of my time.

We are learning from those experiences, because a law that gets struck down in court does not protect a child.
