                       RIGHT TO LIFE OF MICHIGAN

  Mr. ABRAHAM. I would like to commend the marchers who came to 
Washington from all over the country to join in the March for Life here 
on January 23, 1995, the anniversary of Roe versus Wade.
  At the time of the march I was pleased to have the opportunity to 
meet with the pro-life delegation from my home State of Michigan. In my 
State, the right-to-life orgnaization has long pursued legal channels 
in attempting to restore the civil rights of the unborn and in helping 
women with problem pregnancies.
  Unfortunately, the peaceful and legal efforts of organizations such 
as Right to Life of Michigan have been obscured by the actions of those 
who have resorted to violence as a means of expressing their opposition 
to abortion. In response to these senseless acts of violence, the 
Michigan right to life orgnaization has launched a series of television 
commercials calling for an end of all violence at abortion clinics. I 
rise today to commend Right to Life of Michigan for their leadership on 
an important issue of the day. I also applaud them for their 
constructive project as they pursue our common goal of advancing the 
cause of the pro-life movement, and I further join them in condemning 
those who would resort to any form of such violence in an attempt to 
advance their objectives.
