                             MARCH FOR LIFE

  (Mr. McHENRY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. McHENRY. Mr. Speaker, more than 20,000 people descended on 
Washington today as part of the March for Life rally, marking the 34th 
anniversary of the Supreme Court's ruling on Roe v. Wade.
  Over 44 million children, little boys and little girls, their lives 
have been lost since 1973, at this origination of Roe v. Wade. They 
were never given the opportunity to enjoy life.
  As one March for Life participant pointed out today: ``Rain or shine, 
these unborn children don't have that option. They'll never be able to 
feel the rain on their heads. They'll never be able to feel the wind on 
their face. So this is a great opportunity for us to march in their 
honor.'' And these participants braved cold weather and lots of rain 
today to participate and stand up for the most vulnerable in our 
society.
  I hope for a more prosperous day when our country respects the lives 
of the unborn.
