I thank Representative Smith for all of his work and leadership on the issues of life and protecting people at all stages of life. As the Democratic co-chair of the Pro-Life Caucus, I stand here as a Democrat who believes that we need to have laws in our Nation to protect the vulnerable, those who can't protect themselves. No one is more vulnerable in America today than a child in the mother's womb. No one is in more need of protection. We must continue to fight to provide that protection. We do have our young men and women who are our new pro-life generation. They understand the dangers that they faced to their own lives when they were in their mother's womb. I look forward to continuing to work with all of them and with my colleagues here in the House to bring us to the day where all life in our Nation is protected by our laws, from conception to death. Only then will our Nation truly stand up for life and all that our Nation was founded upon. I thank all my colleagues for their work on this issue.
