Condemning Abortion

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. GROTHMAN. Madam Speaker, our wonderful country, America, has been given material wealth beyond belief, plus natural beauty that I think is greater than anything around the world.

In 1973, how did this country respond to those gifts? The United States Supreme Court, in Roe v. Wade, legalized abortion, something that even in days before the ultrasound, almost was universally condemned around the world. Since that time, 62 million unborn babies have had their lives cut short in America.

The United States is one of only seven countries in the world where late-term abortions are legal, joining countries like China, North Korea, Vietnam, and then Singapore, Canada, and Holland.

Now, we, under the current administration, look to push for still more abortions by talking about removing the Hyde amendment allowing for taxpayer funding and, even worse, repealing the new Mexico City policy in which the United States gives money to organizations abroad who will wind up performing abortions. That is what the United States will become known for around the world.

How is this to respond to the natural wealth and beauty we have been given.
