BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mrs. MILLER of Illinois. Madam Speaker, I proudly signed a discharge petition in order to vote on the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act.

Along with my Republican colleagues, we are standing up for the voiceless to end this ongoing tragedy once and for all. We must end infanticide.

Seventy-seven percent of Americans support protections for babies born alive after a failed abortion, but Speaker Pelosi refuses to bring up the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act for a vote.

This legislation is long overdue. It is time to stand up to Speaker Pelosi and the radical Democrats' lack of regard for human life and pass the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act.

My heart aches in all instances when the dignity of human life is violated. As a Christian, I believe that the image of God in each one of us gives us intrinsic worth that cannot be assaulted.

This bill simply requires an abortionist to give lifesaving treatment to a child who survives a botched abortion rather than let them die slowly.
