PROTECTING ALL LIFE
(Mr. GOOD of Virginia asked and was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute.)
Mr. GOOD of Virginia. Mr. Speaker, finally, mercifully, the most
destructive Supreme Court decision in history has been reversed,
something many of us believed we would never live to see, after decades
of disappointment.
Not only was the Roe decision without constitutional merit, but no
other decision in the history of the Court caused so much destruction,
so much carnage, so much devastation, with 63 million lives lost.
Sixty-three million lives, about the population of France, more than
the population of Italy, Ukraine, or Canada. Sixty-three million lives,
1.4 million a year, more than the 2-year amount attributable to the
China virus, for every year for nearly 50 years, all of them 100
percent attributable and 100 percent preventable.

Thank God for the hundreds of thousands of relentless pro-life
activists, for millions of pro-life marchers, for tens of millions of
pro-life voters, and thank God for the courage of six Supreme Court
Justices who withstood the pressure, the threats, and the intimidation
to do the right thing morally and constitutionally.
May our legislative bodies in Washington now match that courage. The
responsibility passes to us now, the people's elected representatives,
to pass laws protecting all life in the womb.
