                       HONORING SUSAN B. ANTHONY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BARBARA CUBIN

                               of wyoming

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, February 13, 2003

  Mrs. CUBIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor a true 
pioneer in the fight for women's rights; a woman who 183 years ago this 
month set out on a life and career that would earn her a place in 
history--Susan B. Anthony.
  She is perhaps best remembered for her struggle to obtain equal 
rights for all, regardless of age, race, or gender.
  To her, life was about the dignity of all people--from the most 
oppressed of women to the most innocent and defenseless of all, the 
unborn.
  As a pro-life woman, I can very much identify with her deeply held 
belief in the rights of the unborn. I personally believe that life 
begins at conception. That means that I want to protect and nurture 
human life in every stage of development.
  Partial birth abortion is not an option. It is a death sentence. It 
is my hope that this Congress will pass, and the President will sign, a 
measure outlawing this repulsive procedure.
  Susan B. Anthony was truly a compassionate sole and a protector of 
women and children. I feel it very appropriate to recognize her on this 
anniversary of her birth.
