ENDING THE SCOURGE OF ABORTION IN AMERICA
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from
Illinois (Mrs. Miller) for 5 minutes.
Mrs. MILLER of Illinois. Madam Speaker, all children are created by
God at conception with a purpose. We must continue our work to end the
scourge of abortion in America without exception.
The strides that we have made for the pro-life movement over recent
years are incredible, and I am honored to be part of a group of such
hardworking pro-life legislators.
Our daughters are part of the pro-life generation, full of students
and young women that want to protect life in the womb. They have seen
their siblings in sonograms. They have seen the pictures, and when they
are told it is a glob of tissue, they know better.
I introduced the Protecting Life on College Campuses Act, which would
prohibit any Federal funds from going to a college or university which
is supplying dangerous chemical abortion pills.
This past Christmas, the week before Christmas, while no one was
looking, the Biden administration and Governor Pritzker advanced very
radical abortion policies, which are deeply unpopular with the American
people. They want to remove parental involvement every step of the way
for minors receiving an abortion because they are not pro-choice; they
are pro-abortion.
Standing strong in this fight, we are participating in what could be
potentially the last March for Life under Roe, and I could not be more
thrilled.
