Thankfully, the Congress has taken more interest in the welfare of the people of Appalachia.

This proposed budget is callous and short-sighted, especially of the people who live in our coal communities.

Unfortunately, the President's budget announced yesterday would do nothing but hurt the people who need the most help.

The law is significant. It's the law, for crying out loud.

We've got to have teeth to this thing. We've got to have some answers.

It's been an incredible honor to serve in Congress for eight years and represent the great state of Georgia.

It's been an honor to be a part of this.

This is not a one-sided issue. It's on both sides of the aisle.

This type of stuff has got to stop on both sides.

The rise of hate crimes deeply concerns me. It concerns all of us.

Today's hearing is but an attempt to blame Republicans for the horrendous acts of violence.

What happened at Club Q is a tragedy that should never, ever, ever happen in the United States.

I hereby remove my name as cosponsor from H.R. 8814. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Courtney). The gentleman's request is accepted. ____________________

I have no further speakers, and I am prepared to close. Mr. Speaker, this is a good bill. I urge my colleagues to support it, and I yield back the balance of my time.

Pro-abortionists also claim that abortion is necessary for women due to high rates of maternal mortality. Would you agree with that?

That does not sound like a consensus at all. In fact, it sounds like more misinformation to pretend that the consensus of doctors in this field believe that abortion is healthcare.

The claim that the overwhelming consensus is that abortion is healthcare, would you agree with that?

I would underscore the word 'moral decision.' This is a moral, spiritual, and religious issue for countless millions of Americans who hold to a Biblical world view on life.

This issue, for the most part, should be left with the people and to the political processes the people have devised to govern their affairs.

Fifty years ago, in Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court tragically strayed from the text of the Constitution and took away from the American people the power to decide the question of abortion for themselves.

Actually, today--it was just coming out today--this Committee, House Natural Resources Committee, staff is putting out a report.

It is very concerning to me that an outside advocacy group knew hours before the public knew that the Majority was going to threaten to issue a subpoena.

Isn't it hypocritical to you, incredibly hypocritical, to say that one side should have free speech and the other side should not?

This is totally bogus, totally hypocritical.
