Thank you so much. I appreciate this opportunity to share today, as we look at the national media coverup of this very, very horrific act. As we gather today to bring awareness to the trial of Kermit Gosnell and to the horrific actions he has been charged with, we remember the many who were murdered at the Women's Medical Society clinic and denied the chance to be our siblings, playmates, our friends, our peers. We mourn their losses, and we mourn the deep pain and confusion that abortion has inflicted upon women, men, and their families. This trial provides revealing insights into the abortion industry, and it specifically highlights the reality that abortion involves taking a human life. These killings expose the very gruesome nature of what happens in abortion clinics all across this country where over 1.2 million unborn children die in abortions every year. As a legislator, I will continue to speak in defense of the most basic human right--life. I will continue to support legislation that would stop the Federal funding for abortion providers, and I will continue to champion the inherent human dignity of every life born and unborn.

First of all, I would say, being from Missouri, I would think that Harry Truman would be shocked that this would try to be named after him. But anyway, this amendment eliminates all enlistment requirements except for the gender-neutral…
