  Mrs. MYRICK. Mr. Speaker, Susan B. Anthony is best remembered as a 
great women's rights campaigner. On February 15th, her 183rd birthday, 
we recognize that she was indeed instrumental in helping women achieve 
the right to vote.
  Another piece of her legacy that is often brushed over but equally 
important is her commitment to the rights of unborn children. Susan B. 
Anthony believed that all people should be treated equally, and she 
made no exception for unborn children. She did not see a difference in 
fighting for women's rights and protecting the right to life for all 
children.
  This is why I am taking this opportunity to honor her birthday today. 
As we think back on Susan B. Anthony's tireless work to promote the 
dignity of all life, let us renew our own commitment to fight for equal 
rights, especially for unborn children who have no voice to fight for 
themselves.
