Mr. NORMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to condemn the violent attacks on the pro-life organizations and facilities in the wake of the Dobbs leak and subsequent overruling of Roe v. Wade.

There has been very little accountability for the leaked draft opinion and ensuing violent intimidation against pro-life activists. That is why this resolution is so necessary. It makes it crystal clear that violence, property damage, threats, and intimidation tactics must be condemned, and they must have consequences for those who do this violence.

I am proud of the work of the Palmetto Women's Center in Rock Hill, South Carolina, in my district, as it does tremendous work.

The Biden administration needs to use all appropriate law enforcement mechanisms necessary to uphold public safety and protect the rights of these pro-life groups and facilities. Just because this administration doesn't agree with protecting the unborn doesn't mean they should turn a blind eye to violence and intimidation.
