          COMMEMORATING THE 184TH BIRTHDAY OF 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. Madam Speaker, this month we commemorate the 184th 
birthday of a great woman in the history of our great country, Susan B. 
Anthony.
  Susan B. Anthony was one of the many exemplary feminist leaders who 
is now known not only for her fight to gain women the right to vote but 
also for her great courage in her stand against abortion. She saw 
abortion as a great offense against human dignity.
  She recognized the incomparable worth of every person and realized 
that whatever goes against life, whatever violates the integrity of the 
individual, whatever insults human dignity is a poison to society.
  Susan B. Anthony fought tirelessly to safeguard the dignity of 
motherhood, which she believed to be an inherent right for all women.
  So as we honor Susan B. Anthony, as a pro-life feminist and 
suffragist, I ask my colleagues to remember those who have fought to 
respect, protect, love and serve life, every human life.
