On the recordJanuary 24, 2023
I really appreciate Chris Smith, and I thank the gentlewoman from Minnesota (Mrs. Fischbach) for having this Special Order. Mr. Speaker, today, as we mourn the millions of babies lost because of the decision in Roe v. Wade 53 years ago, we also celebrate the millions that will be saved now because that decision has been overturned. Tragically, Mr. Speaker, my Democratic colleagues would rather spread lies about the Supreme Court decision than to tell the truth. They want to deceive you into believing that Republicans don't care about women's health--that is crazy--even as they enable and encourage biological men to use women's bathrooms and to compete in women's sports, and they are content to simply watch pro-abortion thugs attack and burn pregnancy centers and churches around the country. They may refuse the truth because it doesn't further their anti-life agenda, but they can't change it. The truth is that the reversal of Roe v. Wade returned the power to where it belongs, and that is to States. So today I celebrate that decision, I pray for those taken, and I renew my promise to never surrender the fight for our unborn. I will always defend the voiceless, and I will always stand for life.
