I appreciate my friend, Chairman Jordan, yielding to me. I thank my friend, Representative Ann Wagner, for introducing this important bill again--no better person than a mama and a grandmama--and she does a good job at both of those. Madam Speaker, babies deserve a chance to live. They deserve a chance at life no matter their age or their circumstance. The Constitution says that people have a right to life. The science says babies are people. The Democrats have been pushing, trust the science. Follow the science. Trust the science. Follow the science, the last 2 years. Yet, we are denying the science, Madam Speaker. When I was a little boy, I was asking my mama--we were talking about abortion and we were talking about babies being born that were maybe disabled or had some other anomaly, and I said: Mama, what would we do if one of those babies was born and I was the father of one of those little babies? And she said: Honey, we would love that baby just a little more. Madam Speaker, we need to love those babies just a little more and not murder them.
