On the recordFebruary 14, 2019
Like so many others, I have been deeply disturbed by the news out of the New York and Virginia State Legislatures, where infanticide is being legalized. Today I rise in strong support of H.R. 962, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. Mr. Speaker, a child born alive after a failed abortion is a living being just like any other baby born prematurely. Ending any life at 24 weeks or as a newborn is murder. The law just adopted in New York legalizes abortion up to 40 weeks, essentially up to the moment of birth, and this is atrocious. We are facing a moral crisis, and I fear for my children's future with today's officials supporting and signing bills into law like that of New York's. I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to denounce the radical support for infanticide and join me in reaffirming and protecting the inalienable right to life. Let's do the right thing. Let's bring the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act up for a vote in this House and pass this bill to preserve the sanctity of life. ____________________
