2 years ago--and on five occasions prior to that--I have offered the Unborn Children's Civil Rights Act, proposing that the Senate go on record in favor of reversing the Roe versus Wade decision. That wrongful U.S. Supreme Court decision, handed down 24 years ago tomorrow, paved the way for the destruction of more than 35 million innocent children--1.5 million little innocent, helpless lives every year. An enormous number of men and women of all ages will descend upon Washington tomorrow--as they have every year since the fateful Roe versus Wade decision--pleading with Congress to remember that a nation which fails to value the God-given gifts of life and liberty will one day find itself in the dustbin of history. So, as the 105th Congress begins its work, I do hope that all Senators will give thought to the need to put an end to the legalized deliberate destruction of the lives of innocent, helpless little human beings. The Unborn Children's Civil Rights Act proposes four things: First, to put Congress clearly on record as declaring that one, every abortion destroys deliberately, the life of an unborn child; two, that the U.S. Constitution sanctions no right to abortion; and three, that Roe versus Wade was improperly decided. Second, this legislation will prohibition Federal funding to pay for, or to promote, abortion.
