                             STAND FOR LIFE

  (Mr. CLINE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CLINE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in defense of life. Since the 
Supreme Court's 1973 ruling in Roe v. Wade, more than 63 million 
American babies have had their lives cut short. That is simply 
unacceptable. I stand here today for the sake of women, for the sake of 
children, and for the sake of the moral integrity of our Nation.
  They say follow the science, which tells us that pre-born humans are, 
in fact, humans. Unfortunately, the pro-abortion left has decided that 
human does not automatically grant the right to life, and that humans 
should only be accorded this right under certain circumstances. That 
mindset is a travesty, and legal abortion will go down in history as a 
great stain on the United States.
  Thankfully, it appears as though the Supreme Court may be poised to 
right this tragic error and overturn Roe v. Wade.
  God willing, come this summer, State legislatures across the Nation 
will truly be able to defend the unborn without the constraint of Roe. 
Here in Washington, I will continue to be a voice for the voiceless and 
stand for life as we fight to protect the unborn.
