ABORTED FETAL REMAINS BURIAL
(Mrs. WALORSKI asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute.)
Mrs. WALORSKI. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the 2,411 unborn
children whose remains were finally laid to rest with dignity yesterday
in South Bend, Indiana.
These victims of Indiana's most prolific abortionist would be in
their late teens now, graduating from high school and entering into
college, but their innocent lives were cut short, and they were denied
a proper burial. Instead, their remains sat for almost 2 years in a
garage, a car trunk, in moldy boxes and Styrofoam coolers.
Such callous disregard for human life should shake us to the core.
These children deserve justice and dignity.
To ensure this never happens again, the House must pass the Dignity
for Aborted Children Act to build on Indiana's law, upheld by the
Supreme Court, that requires dignified treatment of aborted fetal
remains.
Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in observing a moment
of silence for the thousands of innocent victims who were laid to rest
yesterday.
