                    TIDE OF PRO-LIFE BATTLE TURNING

  (Mr. DORNAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DORNAN. Mr. Speaker, what a pleasure to take the well of the 
House on this pro-life day. That is the mud of the White House lawn and 
the Ellipse, Mr. Speaker, you see on my shoes and on the trousers of 
the suit that I wore the day I nominated George Bush for President.
  Following House rules here, because I just found out I cannot hold a 
little baby in my arms, here is Peg over here. Come here, Peg, just so 
I can use you as an A-frame.
  This is Molly Christine Oona Dornan, number 10 Bob and Sally Dornan 
grandchild; mommy Theresa doing well. She is 10 days old. She came a 
few days later than that Friday I said she was due any minute. That was 
a false alarm.
  I now have five grandsons and five granddaughters and five grown 
wonderful kids. There is still a bachelor out there. God willing, there 
will be more to come. This little Molly O. Dornan is 10 days a person. 
But you know what I said to 75,000 pro-lifers today? We All know she 
was a person 20 days ago, 10 days before she was born, or 10 seconds or 
10 minutes or 5 minutes, right up to the moment of conception.
  We are going to win this pro-life battle, and the biggest battle is 
288 days from today, putting a pro-life couple in the White House.
  I yield back the balance of my time, and take little Molly in my arms 
again.
