“I rise today to honor Dr. Burton Grant and the Hope Clinic for Women. In March 1983, a group of concerned citizens in middle Tennessee sought to give the growing number of women who sought abortions another option to an unplanned pregnancy. Dr. Burton Grant, a well-respected radiation oncologist, led the group in providing a compassionate and viable alternative for women facing one of the most important decisions of their lives. Today the clinic has helped more than 19,000 women. In the past 2 years, Dr. Grant has enabled this haven of empathy and safety to become a licensed medical facility offering services such as obstetrical ultrasound and pregnancy and STD testing. The Hope Clinic is a fully fledged alternative to the abortion clinics. Without Dr. Grant's endorsement, his integrity and his impeccable reputation, this clinic would never have reached its full potential as a beacon of hope in the middle Tennessee community. As the Hope Clinic for Women celebrates its 20th anniversary, it is with deep appreciation that I honor Dr. Grant and his service to the Nation.”
