I rise in strong support of H. Res. 1033, a resolution designating April 2010 as National Autism Awareness Month. This resolution serves an important function of increasing awareness of the 1.5 million individuals who are living with…

Bob Franks' life was grand and glorious as Fran and his daughters know better than anyone, what Bob cared first and foremost about despite all of the passions in his life was family. This summer as I had many discussion with Bob about lots…

I thank my friend for his very powerful testimonial to our late colleague. Mr. Speaker, for Bob's surviving wife, Fran and their three daughters, Kelly, Sara, and Abigail, his mother, June; and sister, Judy; and the rest of the family…

For those of us who recognize abortion as violence against children and the exploitation of women, nothing less than a comprehensive prohibition of public funding of elective abortion satisfies the demands of social justice. Regrettably…

In a dramatic reversal of current law, ObamaCare, as just passed, authorizes health insurance policies funded with tax credits and cost reduction payments to pay for abortion on demand and forces the issuers of federally subsidized plans…

For those of us who recognize abortion as lethal violence against children and the exploitation of women, nothing less than a comprehensive prohibition on public funding, promotion and facilitation of elective abortion in any federal…

I think it is achievable. So please take a second look at that.

I hope you would be mindful that in some countries where church opposition to human rights abuses has been very strong...

Not only did you not take them out of context, because they were very troubling to me and I think many people--who are ``those people''?--but it also follows a line of thought that predates her. Margaret Sanger, as you know, the founder of…

I want to thank my good friend and colleague Mr. Pitts for his leadership, and for that of all of those who have spoken. Doc, thank you for your eloquent words. Mr. Fortenberry, Mr. Cao and Jean Schmidt. I do want to welcome His Beatitude…

Only as quickly as humanly possible and of course, you know, all the details need to be worked out.

David was absolutely sincere that he doesn't want to do to the family, the maternal grandmother, especially, what they had done to him and to Sean all these years.

The fact that Minister Mendes, who is the chief justice in the Supreme Court for Brazil, affirmed the return order on its merits, and did 30 pages of explanation in the opinion -- this wasn't a one sentence or one paragraph or a one-pager…

Only as quickly as humanly possible. And, of course, you know, all those details need to be worked out. But our hope is, you know, that it be immediate and as quickly as possible.

Well, David, you know, was very elated, but he still is cautious that there be no additional appeals or glitches.

It was in November 2009, at your hearing, Congressman Chris Smith, that my eyes were opened up to the truth and brutality of the one-child policy.

It is important to note that it is not just our children that need this kind of quality counseling.
