                       PROTECT BORN ALIVE BABIES

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from 
Michigan (Mrs. McClain) for 5 minutes.
  Mrs. McCLAIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today for the unborn; for the 
protection and the defense of the most vulnerable among us.
  I stand here today because this week the Republican majority is doing 
what the previous Congress refused to do, and that is uphold the right 
to life.
  For far too long we have seen pro-life facilities vandalized and 
broken into. For far too long we have watched as Democrats refuse to 
protect born alive babies. Think about that for a moment. These babies 
are born alive, breathing outside the womb, and the Democrats want to 
kill them. They do not protect them.
  This week, we right those wrongs and we defend life in America. It is 
well past time for the United States Congress, for this body, to uphold 
the guarantees laid out in the Declaration of Independence that we are 
endowed by our creator with the unalienable right to life.
