On the recordJanuary 19, 2018
Madam Speaker, as a father of 4 and now 16 grandchildren, I strongly support the sanctity of human life, and I believe that life begins at conception. Madam Speaker, a person is a person, no matter how small. Whether a baby is still in the womb, if a child is born prematurely, or even if a child is born alive following an attempting abortion, they still have a life that is worth protecting. Therefore, I am a proud cosponsor of H.R. 4712, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, sponsored by my good friend, Representative Marsha Blackburn. This bill will be do so much to protect our most vulnerable. I will continue to support legislation and advocate for those who cannot advocate for themselves.
