                      PRESERVING OUR CIVIL RIGHTS

  (Mrs. GREENE of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. GREENE of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, as we convene this week, I would 
like to ask all of my fellow colleagues and Members of the 117th 
Congress to reflect on the words right there on the wall: In God We 
Trust.
  God created us male and female. In His image, He created us. The 
Equality Act that we are to vote on this week destroys God's creation. 
It also completely annihilates women's rights and religious freedoms.
  It can be handled completely differently to stop discrimination 
without destroying women's rights, little girls' rights in sports, and 
religious freedoms violating everything that we hold dear in God's 
creation.
  As we are reflecting on the 500,000 people who have died from COVID-
19, I would like to remind everyone that over 62 million people have 
been murdered in the womb in our country and that our tax dollars many 
times have funded it. This is an evil that should not exist in our 
land, and I ask all Members of Congress to stop this evil now.
