I thank my colleague for yielding the time. Last month, our Constitution was upheld at the Supreme Court, and States like Oklahoma took immediate action to protect the lives of the unborn. This shouldn't be a hard vote. It is the right for children, fully formed in the womb, to be born. Our allies and like-minded nations around the world do not allow abortions up to the moment of birth, as this bill would do. It is simply barbaric. My colleagues know it is an unpopular position, which is why they have resorted to lies and deceptions about lifesaving care for pregnant women. Madam Speaker, I urge every Member of this Chamber to vote ``no'' on H.R. 8296 and protect the right of our future generations to be born.
