                             MARCH FOR LIFE

  (Mr. HUIZENGA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HUIZENGA. Madam Speaker, it is an honor today to represent 
hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children who will be marching 
this week in Washington, D.C., and around the country through the cold, 
through the wet, and, frankly, through the ridicule.
  We don't march for the recognition or for the headlines. We march on 
behalf of the millions of children who have had their opportunity to 
make an impact on this world stolen from them.
  We don't march because it is merely a political statement. We march 
because it is right. We march for life.
  We must continue to prevent taxpayer dollars from being used to end 
the lives of innocent children here in the United States and around the 
globe.
  When an organization prioritizes abortion over adoption and creating 
a culture of life, we must question why our government funds them at 
all.
  Now more than ever, Madam Speaker, we are called to speak up for 
those who cannot for themselves. We must all stand firm to defend the 
sanctity of life, for the challenge is great and the cause is noble.
  Together, we will march in solidarity for those who have never had 
the opportunity to walk on their own, and, in coming days, our voices 
will be heard louder than ever.
