Political Quotes

“I rise to pay tribute to former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. During Mr. Pompeo's time at the State Department, he worked tirelessly to defend unborn children around the world. Under then-Secretary Pompeo's leadership, the United States stood as a nation that values all human rights, including the right to life. His bold leadership encouraged other world leaders to join the United States in standing against efforts by some within the United Nations to make abortion on demand an international right. Mr. Pompeo established his pro-life bona fides during his four terms in the U.S. House of Representatives. During that time, he supported numerous pieces of pro-life legislation, such as the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act and the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. His commitment to the pro-life cause continued in his role as our Nation's top diplomat. A few particular successes stand out. First, Secretary Pompeo initiated a new compliance mechanism to ensure enforcement of the Mexico City Policy, which prohibits taxpayer dollars from being used for abortion overseas. Under the Protecting Life in Global Health Assistance policy, the State Department would refuse to partner with any foreign organizations involved in supporting abortions. Additionally, these nongovernment organizations will also have to provide certification to the State Department that they are not involved with abortions.…”
