Mr. Speaker, our prayers go to all victims of the Las Vegas massacre. Mr. Speaker, I am grateful that I have been an advocate for pro-life values and protecting the rights of unborn babies. Today, the House will vote on the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. This will save the lives of babies who are too young to speak for themselves but who are old enough to feel physical pain. I appreciate the success of South Carolina Citizens for Life, who work to give a voice to those who do not have one. With the great leadership of Executive Director Holly Gatling of the Midlands, Leon Wizorek of Barnwell, and Sally Zaleski of Orangeburg, this organization has been working to save lives. As a cosponsor of the legislation with colleagues Trent Franks, Vicky Hartzler, Mia Love, and Karen Handel, I am grateful to stand for life, upholding the conservative values and protecting the lives of our unborn babies. Every life is precious and has great value. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. Thank you, Dr. Tom Price and Betty Price, for your successful service to American families. ____________________
