“I thank Mr. Roy, my friend from Texas, for yielding to me. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in very strong support of H.R. 21, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, legislation that I have been blessed and honored to lead since 2019.

All children should be welcomed with joy and wonder, no matter the circumstances of their birth. Yet, too many of these little ones are denied the medical care that they need to survive and thrive simply because they are unwanted. This commonsense legislation will require healthcare providers to administer the same level of care to babies who survive abortions that they would to any other child born at the same gestational age. That is it. Mr. Speaker, I believe that life is a miracle and children are a blessing.

I have had the joy of experiencing the world through their eyes, the eyes of my grandchildren.…”
