On the recordFebruary 13, 2019
As a proud father of four and a grandfather of six, I rise today in strong support of those who cannot defend themselves, the most innocent and defenseless among us, the unborn. {time} 1800 I share the pro-life views of those I serve in eastern and southeastern Ohio. A few weeks ago, many Ohioans joined more than 100,000 pro-life Americans at the annual March for Life here in Washington, D.C. Although, with so little national media coverage of this major event, some may have missed this passionate and growing movement made up of men and women, boys and girls from all walks of life. Recently, we have witnessed the inhuman policies introduced by multiple States permitting late-term abortions, even, unbelievably, all the way up to birth. It is past time that Congress pass legislation banning this horrific practice. Mr. Speaker, I strongly urge my colleagues on both sides to reject infanticide and defend the sanctity of human life.
