                                Abortion

  Mr. DAINES. Madam President, a few weeks ago, I stood right here 
condemning Virginia Governor Ralph Northam's chilling remarks about 
infanticide. Since then, the American people have continued to witness 
disturbing abortion extremism by Democratic public lawmakers. So here I 
am again today to condemn and address these horrific remarks and the 
unfortunate reality we are living in today in this country.
  Last week, while opposing a bill to protect unborn human life, 
Democratic Alabama State Representative John Rogers said: ``Some kids 
are unwanted, so you kill them now or you kill them later.'' He went on 
to say: ``You bring them in the world unwanted, unloved, you send them 
to the electric chair. So you kill them now or you kill them later.''
  These reprehensible remarks reveal a disturbing abortion extremism 
that has become far too normal, too accepted by the Democrats. All 
human life is precious, no matter the stage of development or 
disability. We must never forget these are innocent babies we are 
talking about.
  Just this week, Democratic Pennsylvania State Representative Brian 
Sims posted a disgraceful video of himself online--I encourage you to 
go and watch it--a disgraceful video of himself online harassing three 
teenage girls who were praying outside a Planned Parenthood abortion 
clinic. He went as far as promising to pay $100 to anyone who would 
identify these innocent teenage girls.
  Horrific comments like Representative Rogers' and harassment of pro-
life teens by Representative Sims should be condemned at the State and 
the national level by all, regardless of political party. We must not 
let this continue to be the norm in our society. We must fight back.
  I yield the floor.
