  CONTINUING THE LEGACY OF SUSAN B. ANTHONY BY SUPPORTING THE UNBORN 
                        VICTIMS OF VIOLENCE ACT

  (Mrs. BLACKBURN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. BLACKBURN. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to speak of a courageous 
woman in America's history, a woman who fought relentlessly for 69 
years to establish equal rights for women, slaves, and the unborn. Her 
name, Susan B. Anthony.
  She had a deep desire, dedication and passion that our country live 
up to its promise that everyone be treated equally. Her leadership 
helped lead to the adoption of the 19th amendment, giving women the 
right to vote.
  On this 184th year following her birth, let us honor the woman who 
fought for equality for all by continuing her legacy today and voting 
for the Unborn Victims of Violence Act. This act recognizes the rights 
and values of women and unborn children, and Susan B. Anthony would be 
proud to see this extension of her life's work by protecting the 
defenseless and speaking for those who cannot speak for themselves.
