                       PARTIAL-BIRTH ABORTION BAN

  (Mr. McHENRY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. McHENRY. Madam Speaker, I rise to join with millions across this 
Nation who applaud the Supreme Court's recent decision to uphold the 
ban on partial-birth abortion.
  Partial-birth abortion is unrivaled in its gruesome brutality. There 
is no question it has caused the vicious destruction of viable human 
life, babies, whose only crime is inconvenience.
  The Court's decision is a victory in the quest to restore basic human 
dignity and human life. No longer will the

most vulnerable and innocent among us be subject to such cruelty.
  It also is a victory for the Constitution, which liberal activist 
judges have demeaned for far too long. It is encouraging to see the 
Court's decision move toward our Founders' vision and intent to not 
only respect opinions and the vision for our country, but also to 
protect human life.
  Let us never forget our responsibility to uphold the basic sanctity 
of human life granted by our Maker.
