“The pro-abortion lobby cheered last week as House Democrats rushed through H.R. 3755, the abortion on demand until birth act. Throughout the course of the debate last Friday, I listened as my colleagues across the aisle took to their bully pulpit and sang the praises of the abortion industry in America. The talking points that afternoon were so distorted from reality that it was as if members of the abortion lobby were the ones that wrote them. Some Members claimed that passing this bill was a duty that must be fulfilled to restore the rights of women. Others claimed it was a duty that upheld the oath they took to defend the Constitution. Madam Speaker, no matter the justification that was given, the American people can see that this is yet another elaborate smokescreen coming from the majority. But what really shook me to my core was how abortion was being normalized in those moments. Women's health was being used as a euphemism for abortion, as if the health of the baby that is destroyed is inconsequential, not to mention that half of the babies that are aborted are female. You cannot claim that this issue is one of ``women's health'' when that is the case. The same sentiment applies to the phrase ``reproductive freedom'' that was thrown around multiple times. Explain to me how the process of destroying an innocent baby resembles freedom for the baby. It is outrageous to link abortion and the concept of freedom together.…”
