                               speech of

                           HON. DOUG LAMBORN

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 3, 2021

  Mr. LAMBORN. Madam Speaker, today I rise to commemorate the 48th 
anniversary of the tragic Roe versus Wade Supreme Court Decision. That 
fateful decision has ended the loss of over 62 million unborn babies' 
lives.
  Consider that while America is the land of opportunity, more than 62 
million unborn Americans were given no opportunity to pursue the 
incredible opportunities our great nation affords.
  At home and abroad, the unborn are under attack. Our colleagues on 
the other side of the aisle disastrously intend to burden the 
consciences of millions of Americans by forcing them to use their hard-
earned tax dollars to subsidize abortion.
  I'm also deeply concerned by the current administration's decision to 
rescind the Mexico City Policy and instead force taxpayers to fund 
abortions overseas.
  In fact, recent polling shows that three-quarters of Americans want 
significant restrictions on abortion.
  If we are truly representing the American people, we will work as a 
Congress to pass abortion restrictions here in these halls.
  Until that happens, I will continue fighting tirelessly to defend the 
sanctity of unborn lives.
