                DEFENDING THE MOST VULNERABLE POPULATION

  (Mr. BERGMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BERGMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today in defense of the most 
vulnerable population, the unborn.
  As we consider the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act and 
the concurrent resolution to condemn attacks on pro-life pregnancy 
centers, I hope that it is those innocent lives on our hearts and 
minds.
  I implore my colleagues to stand with me in pursuit of doing what is

right by, as I say, those voiceless and vulnerable and to consider the 
divine worth of every human life that we have taken an oath to serve, 
from womb to tomb.
  It is written in Psalm 139: ``For You created my innermost being; You 
knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise You because I am 
fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that 
full well.''
  We should do all in our power to stand for life and to ensure that 
the unborn get to live out each of the days that God ordained for them 
before one ever came to be.
  Let us unite as a legislature to determine that, in the United 
States, we will preserve the most basic right to life and the ability 
of good-willed Americans to provide life-affirming care in pursuit of 
that cause.
