SUPPORT PRO-LIFE MEASURES
(Mrs. WALORSKI asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute.)
Mrs. WALORSKI. Madam Speaker, I rise today to mark 47 years since the
Roe v. Wade decision and to affirm my commitment to defending the
unborn.
The discovery last year of thousands of fetal remains in the garbage
of Ulrich Klopfer, Indiana's most prolific abortionist, was a tragic
reminder of the terrible cost of abortion.
After this shocking event, I introduced the Dignity for Aborted
Children Act, which would require the dignified burial or cremation of
aborted fetal remains, with a strong reporting requirement to hold
abortion providers accountable.
I also signed a discharge petition to bring the Born-Alive Abortion
Survivors Protection Act to the House floor for a vote. This
commonsense bill would ensure a child born alive after a failed
abortion attempt would receive the same kind of medical care any other
child would.
Madam Speaker, as we mark 47 years since Roe v. Wade, we have a lot
of work to do to stop a radical agenda and stand up for the sanctity of
life. Congress can start by passing these two pro-life bills without
delay.
