                            THE GIFT OF LIFE

  (Mr. CARL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. CARL. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the lives of millions 
of innocent babies who lost their chance at life because of Roe v. 
Wade.
  Life is precious. Life is a gift from God, and every human is made in 
God's image. Every person born, or pre-born, has inherent dignity and 
has the right to life.
  We have a fundamental duty to fight for the vulnerable and ensure 
that life is protected, recognizing the right to life is a worthy 
cause. It is not radical, and it should be bipartisan.
  I am proud to be an advocate for the unborn. I firmly believe in our 
responsibility as a society to defend life. I will continue to push for 
pro-life legislation in Congress, including eliminating the use of 
taxpayers' funding in any way to perform abortions.
  Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in fighting for life 
to protect the most vulnerable among us. Together, we can build a 
culture that respects God's gift. That gift is life.
