“It is always an honor to speak here, and especially to follow friends--very dear friends--hear Steve King talk about the importance of life. I know there is historical accounts in the Old Testament when it talked about different kings and what went on while they were there. It normally says something like: ``and he did evil in the eyes of the Lord,'' or ``he did right in the eyes of the Lord.'' And every now and then, there is an addition to emphasize just how evil the people were. A society was under a particular king in Israel, and that addition was whenever--now and then, it would mention that mothers and fathers were sacrificing their babies on the altar of some idol. And only if you believe the Old Testament, like the majority of Americans have for all our history, that ought to be quite an awakening when you realize that we have killed over 60 million babies. I have talked to so many women who are brokenhearted, and they have got to learn to give it up and move on, but it eats away at them, the thought that they allowed a precious life to be taken that nature had entrusted them with. So, anyway, I just hate to see any women eaten up with guilt. And it is not because there is a pro-life movement. It was there long before a pro-life movement. I hope that we can get the Heartbeat bill that my friend Steve King was advocating, I hope we could get that passed and get it to the Supreme Court.…”
