                   ABORTION RECOVERY AWARENESS MONTH

 Mr. VITTER. Madam President, I stand today to commend Governor 
Bobby Jindal, Louisiana State senator A. G. Crowe, and Louisiana 
resident Cindy Collins for their efforts in making April ``Abortion 
Recovery Awareness Month'' in Louisiana. I would like to take a few 
moments to remark on this important issue.
  I would also like to thank the following organizations for their 
efforts in helping to reduce abortions and fighting for the unborn. I 
thank Abortion Recovery International, Louisiana Abortion Recovery 
Alliance, Post Abortion Helpline of Louisiana, Rachel's Vineyard 
Louisiana, Pregnancy Resource Centers of Louisiana, National Abortion 
Recovery Helpline, Operation Outcry Louisiana, and Silent No More 
Awareness Louisiana.
  All human life is sacred, and I have worked hard in Congress to 
advance a culture of life, including banning partial-birth abortions, 
outlawing abortion drugs, fighting against taxpayer funding of 
abortions, and strongly supporting adoption and crisis pregnancy 
centers. I have always been adamant in my support of pro-life and pro-
family measures in Congress, and groups and individuals like these are 
instrumental to these and other advances we have made in promoting a 
culture of life.
  Thus, today, I applaud Governor Bobby Jindal, State senator A. G. 
Crowe, Cindy Collins, and the many great organizations listed above for 
their efforts in making April ``Abortion Recovery Awareness Month'' in 
Louisiana.
