            OPPOSING THE ABORTION ON DEMAND UNTIL BIRTH ACT

  (Mr. STAUBER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. STAUBER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to voice my strong opposition 
to the Democrats' abortion on demand until birth act, because as a 
father of four and foster parent, I am reminded each day that every 
life is precious and must be protected.
  For me, a huge part of my pro-life story is my son Isaac. Isaac was 
born with Down syndrome, and he brings so much joy to our family. That 
is why it breaks my heart that my colleagues on the other side of the 
aisle are promoting this legislation that would allow for 
discriminatory abortions on the basis of sex, race, and disability.
  It is disgraceful that there are people in this very Chamber who 
don't believe that children like my son deserve the right to life. To 
perform abortion violence on defenseless babies is unthinkable, and it 
is especially horrifying that this legislation would allow abortion up 
until the moment of birth.
  This is not the direction our country should be headed, and 80 
percent of Americans agree. I will be voting against the Democrats' 
abortion on demand until birth act because this legislation is nothing 
less than barbaric.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to do 
the same.
