  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, as we commemorate the 185th birthday 
of Susan B. Anthony, I wish to honor her for her courageous effort in 
ensuring that all women receive the respect and dignity they truly 
deserve.
  Susan B. Anthony was one of the greatest women advocates in history. 
She is known not only for her fight to gain women the right to vote, 
but also for her great courage in fighting for the rights of the 
unborn.
  She was a feminist who fought tirelessly to protect the dignity of 
motherhood, which she believed to be an inherent right of all women.
  I am proud to honor Susan B. Anthony for her dedication to preserving 
the precious gift of life and I hope that my colleagues will join me in 
promoting a true culture of life.
