Madam Speaker, I thank my friend for yielding. In America, the condition of a child's birth doesn't determine the outcome of their life, for every single person, born or unborn, should have the opportunity to live the American Dream. But this abortion on demand bill would destroy our country's future. Today, we are embarking on the biggest step backward in our Nation's history. This vote could be the most consequential vote that any of us take. Today, the science is even more clear than it was in 1973, that a child in the womb is a living person. And yet, my colleagues on the other side remain obsessed with killing unborn babies in the name of female empowerment. Many supporters of this bill, like me, call us pro-life Americans extreme. I have heard it already this morning. But I have seen extreme. I have witnessed the cruelty of abortion and it is ugly. In South Bend, Indiana, Dr. Ulrich Klopfer provided abortions for decades. When he died in 2019, his family found the medically preserved remains of 2,411 children hidden in his garage. That is 2,411 human babies preserved in formaldehyde in jars in his garage. It was national news for a week. This abortionist left a legacy of death and destruction. That is what extreme looks like. Abortions sold as healthcare is a sickening violation of human dignity that Americans should not and cannot tolerate. So I will ask this question: Will we allow this to happen again?…
