                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, July 29, 2022

  Ms. VAN DUYNE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize our Texas-24 
Hometown Heroes of the week, Sean Turner and Buffer Insurance of 
Southlake, Texas.
  In response to the recent Roe v. Wade decision, secular companies 
have offered to pay travel costs for employees to abort babies out-of-
state. Fortunately, companies like Buffer Insurance have taken an 
opposite, humane approach.
  Buffer Insurance in Southlake, Texas has offered to pay the medical 
costs for their employees who birth babies and provide paid time off 
for employees to have maternity and paternity leave. They would also 
pay medical costs associated with adopting a baby.
  Buffer Insurance CEO, Sean Turner has served as a leading voice on 
Buffer's decision and how they are prioritizing families and their 
employees and setting an example of a real pro-life company. This 
veteran-owned North Texas business should serve as a guiding light to 
every American. Its dedication to helping mothers and their children is 
a powerful reminder of the sanctity of life, and I am honored to 
represent them in Congress.
  I thank Sean Turner and Buffer Insurance, for affirming life and 
valuing children and parents in our community.
