Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, Friday, thousands of Americans participated in the March for Life in support of the most vulnerable in our society who have no voice: the preborn. Today, we continue to recognize the dignity of every individual and fight for the most fundamental right of all: the right to life. Our instincts were always right. Science has revealed it is not just a clump of cells in the womb. At 15 weeks, babies suck their thumbs, kick, jump, have fully developed hearts, and can feel pain. What looks like a baby in the womb, revealed to us through ultrasound technology, is in fact a baby when they are born. The radical Roe v. Wade decision was based on bad science and bad jurisprudence, and I am grateful that it was overturned. Now is the time where we as a Nation must continue to build a culture that respects life and recognizes the God-given dignity of every individual and that first unalienable right: the right to life. Despite the terror tactics we have seen come from pro-abortionists-- burning and vandalizing pregnancy centers and churches--the pro-life movement has not winced. Pregnancy centers across the country continue operating, providing mothers with true healthcare, and they are saving lives. Mr. Speaker, I join with these and millions across our Nation in serving as a voice for the voiceless. I, along with my fellow colleagues here, will continue to work to advance legislation that protects the preborn and the right to life.”
