HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SUSAN B. ANTHONY
(Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, this month we celebrate the birthday
of a great woman in the history of the United States, Susan B. Anthony.
Susan B. Anthony is known not only for her fight to gain women the
right to vote, but also for her great courage in the stand against
abortion. She was a feminist who fought tirelessly to protect the
dignity of motherhood, which she believed to be an inherent right of
all women.
Susan B. Anthony saw abortion as a grave offense against human
dignity. I am proud to honor Susan B. Anthony for her dedication to the
cause of life, and I hope that my colleagues will join me in this.
