                       Thursday, January 17, 2019

  Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today as constituents of 
the First District of Georgia, and from across the nation, come to D.C. 
to be a voice for those who cannot stand up for themselves.
  This year marks the 46th anniversary of the misguided U.S. Supreme 
Court decision, Roe v. Wade.
  It is a tragedy that since this ruling in 1973, millions of 
defenseless babies have been denied the right to life.
  As a health care professional, father, and grandfather, I strongly 
believe that life begins at conception, and I support the sanctity of 
human life.
  This past Congress, I worked tirelessly alongside fellow Members and 
pro-life advocates in our fight to end abortion.
  We accomplished a lot.
  Most notably, passing and signing into law H.J. Res. 43, which 
overturned the Obama administration's rule preventing states from 
redirecting Title X funds away from abortion providers like Planned 
Parenthood.
  Now, states have the freedom to distribute Title X grant money in a 
way that best serves the needs of their constituents.
  Additionally, the House approved multiple pro-life bills including 
the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act, the Pain Capable Unborn Child 
Protection Act, and the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act.
  Each one of these bills represents a step forward in our fight to 
save the life of a child.
  Rest assured, we are committed to continuing our fight for the 
precious lives of the innocent unborn in the 116th Congress.
  I want to thank each and every person who have traveled to our 
Nation's Capital today for this important occasion.
  I look forward to meeting with my constituents and other Georgia 
residents to discuss pro-life values and initiatives for the upcoming 
year.
