PROTECT THE INNOCENT CHILDREN
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from
Kansas (Mr. Marshall) for 5 minutes.
Mr. MARSHALL. Mr. Speaker, as an obstetrician, I have delivered
thousands of babies and helped moms through pregnancies for 25 years.
I stand before the House today disgusted by the murderous, barbarous
legislation pushed by Democrats in New York legalizing abortions for
any reason, all the way until the due date of the baby. This extremist
antilife abortion measure is literally nauseating to me.
How sad it is that we live in a time when extremists are legalizing
the murder of innocent, defenseless children. The legalization of these
late-term procedures that amount to infanticide are the worst thing I
have heard in my entire professional lifetime.
I call on my obstetricians and other physicians who deliver babies. I
call on the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and all
physician associations to openly denounce and refuse these murderous
procedures. Legal or not, this is morally reprehensible.
As a father, a grandfather, a physician, and a human being who loves
people, I cannot sit here in good conscience while this is going on,
regardless of it being on a State level. I will do everything in my
power to combat this position from spreading and protect these innocent
children.
