Madam Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Ohio for yielding. Just a couple of minutes ago we heard a speaker on the other side of the aisle criticize Republicans saying we don't support wearing masks, and wearing masks affects others; however, having an abortion affects only a woman. So what is an abortion? What is an abortion? It is the intentional taking of the life of an unborn child. How in the world can you say that an abortion does not affect anyone except the woman? That is the core of the difference between those of us who support unborn children and born children. Those who support abortions ignore the fact that another life is involved. That is the core of the issue. There are two lives involved here, the mother and the unborn baby. We must recognize that.
