               A RADICAL ASSAULT ON THE SANCTITY OF LIFE

  (Mrs. WAGNER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. WAGNER. Madam Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to H.R. 3755, 
the deceitfully named Women's Health Protection Act. This legislation 
constitutes a radical assault on the sanctity of life and the dignity 
of the most vulnerable Americans.
  I am grieved and shocked beyond words that Democrats are moving to 
force States across the country to accept abortion on demand, right up 
until the moment of birth. Along with so many Americans, I believe that 
life is beautiful, and that all babies must be given the opportunity to 
thrive. And yet, my colleagues on the other side of the aisle want to 
eradicate every legal protection these little ones have, rather than 
welcoming them with the love and joy and hope that they deserve.
  This bill gives abortionists the ability to decide which precious 
infants are ``viable'' and worthy of life. It prioritizes the 
profitability of the abortion industry over genuine and compassionate 
care for mothers and children.
  No baby should be discarded because they were allegedly unwanted, and 
no mother's needs should be subjugated to the demands of the abortion 
lobby.
  This is an incredibly urgent time in our Nation. I implore each and 
every one of my colleagues to stand up and fight for those who cannot 
protect themselves.
  Madam Speaker, I urge a ``no'' vote on H.R. 3755.
