                     THE RIGHT TO LIFE IS ASSAULTED

  (Mr. WEBSTER of Florida asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WEBSTER of Florida. Madam Speaker, today this House will consider 
H.R. 3755. To me, this is a heartbreaking piece of legislation. It is 
an assault on the most fundamental right of a person, and that is the 
right to life.
  Wednesday, I was thrilled with the news of the birth of my 21st 
grandchild. Little Liberty is her name, although she wasn't really 
little. She was 8 pounds, 14 ounces, and 22-and-a-half inches long. Her 
life has started; she was born. However, that right given by God 
happened long before the day she was born. She is a citizen of the 
United States, and because of that, she has that right.
  H.R. 3755 is also an affront to human rights. I have heard many of my 
friends on the other side say: We only want in rare and uncommon 
circumstances the right to have abortions.
  But this bill does not do that. It enables and promotes something far 
beyond that. It promotes the horrific practice of eugenics by ensuring 
that abortions are allowed in cases of a possible congenital disorder.
