                       HONORING SUSAN B. ANTHONY

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BARBARA CUBIN

                               of wyoming

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 16, 2005

  Mrs. CUBIN. Mr. Speaker, this week we celebrate the birthday of one 
of the true heroines of our country, Susan B. Anthony. Best known for 
being a pioneer of the women's movement, Susan B. Anthony dedicated her 
life to fight for equal rights for women and was instrumental in 
helping women gain the right to vote.
  Unfortunately, it is often forgotten that Susan B. Anthony was a 
strong pro-life advocate. Her respect for the rights of the unborn 
sprung from her profound belief that all humans deserve equal 
protection under the law.
  As a pro-life woman, I can identify with Susan B. Anthony. I too wish 
to protect and nurture human life in every stage of development.
  Susan B. Anthony embodied true compassion as a defender of women and 
protector of children. In honoring the memory of Susan B. Anthony, let 
us acknowledge that to be pro-life is to be pro-woman.
