Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I want to begin by thanking Chairman Smith for all the work that he does, not just on this issue of protecting life of the unborn here in the United States but on human rights around the world. We all know that the first human right is the right to life, without which nothing else is possible. I am very proud to support the legislation the gentlewoman from North Carolina (Ms. Foxx) talked about that we are trying to move forward here in the House, to protect life. What a large majority of the American people want to do is to stop taxpayer funding of abortion. Today I want to talk about what is going on outside of the Capitol. Next week we have the March for Life here in Washington. Many people thought 41 years ago, with ROE v. WADE, that it was over, that the decision had been made and that there would be abortion and abortion on-demand here in the United States forever. But a year later, there was the first March for Life; now, the 40th March for Life. We will see hundreds of thousands of Americans come out here, so many young people coming out here to show their support for life, and I want to thank them for taking the time, making the effort to come out and speak for those who can't speak for themselves. I will be here next week to address the crowd before the march. In Chicago this coming Sunday, there will be tens of thousands who can't go to Washington who will be out for a March for Life.…”
