THE MARCH FOR LIFE
(Mr. SHUSTER asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute.)
Mr. SHUSTER. Mr. Speaker, our Founders understood that all human
beings are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain
unalienable rights. The most important of these rights is the right to
life.
Next week is the March for Life, the largest pro-life demonstration
in the world. It has been over 40 years since the tragedy of ROE v.
WADE, and the March for Life has brought together pro-life advocates
every year since.
The March for Life is an important demonstration of our ongoing
commitment to being advocates for those who cannot advocate for
themselves.
Congress has made critical gains in the fight to protect life, but
there is still work that must be done. We have a duty to stand and
fight for the protection of the unborn, and I believe that life begins
at conception and should be protected at all stages.
Every day, more and more Americans join us in this battle to protect
life, and the movement to protect the unborn grows stronger each year.
We must continue to build on the gains that have been made and work
towards building a future where the sanctity of life is upheld across
the Nation.
