                  RECOGNIZING THE 2019 MARCH FOR LIFE

                                 ______
                                 

                    HON. F. JAMES SENSENBRENNER, JR.

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, January 17, 2019

  Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Madam Speaker, I proudly recognize the 46th annual 
March for Life taking place on January 18, 2019. Thousands of Americans 
from across our great country have made the pilgrimage to Washington to 
stand up for the protection of unborn children.
  Ever since the Supreme Court's reprehensible ruling in Roe vs. Wade, 
the barbaric practice of abortion on demand has been rampant in our 
nation. Too often people erroneously conflate abortion with women's 
health care, presenting a false choice of caring for women or 
protecting life. It is possible to do both.
  I stand firmly with the millions of Americans who believe that we 
must protect the lives of innocent children. I have long been a staunch 
advocate for pro-life issues. During my tenure as Chairman of the House 
Judiciary Committee, I shepherded the ban on partial-birth abortion 
through Congress. It was one of my greatest honors to watch President 
George W. Bush sign it into law. I have fully supported every effort in 
Congress to prevent taxpayer dollars from funding abortions--both in 
the United States and abroad--and will continue to fight efforts to 
reverse this practice. I am inspired by all who have traveled to 
Washington to participate in the March for Life, especially those from 
Wisconsin, and am grateful for all who believe that every life is 
precious and must be protected.
