Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak for those who can't speak for themselves: the souls of our Nation's unborn and newborn children. I have long championed pro-life legislation and initiatives, but recent events have shaken me and millions across our country, compelling me to address this body. The act of abortion is tragic and heartbreaking; however, the termination of human life for abortion survivors is something worse-- criminal, subhuman.

I echo the calls from Republican leadership to immediately pass the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act to ensure the sanctity of life remains a fundamental principle in this country. ____________________
