“Person Speaker, I rise today in strong opposition to H.R. 2119. The other side of the aisle claims that this would help families, but instead, it would devastate them. The bill would coerce faith-based providers, as the gentlewoman from North Carolina has already said, to violate their deeply held beliefs or stop their work altogether. This bill would redefine the definition of sex, and it inserts gender identity language into U.S. Code. Isn't that the objective of this administration, this majority, to force our faith-based providers out of business and to redefine sex and to change the identification of gender? My colleagues on the other side claim they want to protect the family, but instead, they have chosen to attack the very bedrock of our country--the moral principles and the traditional family that hold our families and communities together. In fact, nearly everything that plagues our society can be attributed to a failure to follow God's laws for morality and His rules for and definition of marriage and family. The very name of this bill is steeped in irony--the Family Violence Prevention and Services Improvement Act--as it would truly inflict more violence on unborn babies' lives and force taxpayers to fund the murder of unborn life; again, consistent with the goals and objectives of this administration and this Democrat majority. This would be a bad bill without its attack on the unborn.…”
