        VIOLENT ATTACKS ON PRO-LIFE ORGANIZATIONS AND FACILITIES

  (Mr. NORMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. NORMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to condemn the violent 
attacks on the pro-life organizations and facilities in the wake of the 
Dobbs leak and subsequent overruling of Roe v. Wade.
  There has been very little accountability for the leaked draft 
opinion and ensuing violent intimidation against pro-life activists. 
That is why this resolution is so necessary. It makes it crystal clear 
that violence, property damage, threats, and intimidation tactics must 
be condemned, and they must have consequences for those who do this 
violence.
  I am proud of the work of the Palmetto Women's Center in Rock Hill, 
South Carolina, in my district, as it does tremendous work.
  The Biden administration needs to use all appropriate law enforcement 
mechanisms necessary to uphold public safety and protect the rights of 
these pro-life groups and facilities. Just because this administration 
doesn't agree with protecting the unborn doesn't mean they should turn 
a blind eye to violence and intimidation.
