57 MILLION INNOCENT LIVES LOST
(Mr. BABIN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Mr. BABIN. Mr. Speaker, it is with great sadness that I rise today in
memory of the 43rd anniversary of the Supreme Court's tragic decision
in Roe v. Wade. Since Roe v. Wade, we have lost 57 million innocent
lives. May God rest their souls. That is an astounding and absolutely
heart-numbing loss.
Countless lives have been impacted by abortion. Each one of those 57
million children had a future destroyed by abortion.
Even Norma McCorvey, the plaintiff known as Roe, revealed in 1995
that she had, in fact, become pro-life and is now a vocal opponent of
abortion and the abortion industry.
Mr. Speaker, the sanctity of human life must be protected. We have a
duty to protect the lives of all Americans, especially the most
helpless and innocent of all, the unborn.
I stand with the thousands of Americans who will soon gather on The
Washington Mall to serve as the voice of 57 million unborn babies whose
lives were tragically taken through abortion.
