                       LIFE IS WINNING IN AMERICA

  (Mr. PENCE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PENCE. Mr. Speaker, despite the best efforts of the abortion 
rights movement, 34 years since Roe v. Wade, more Americans embrace the 
sanctity of life than ever before. Yesterday, thanks to the leadership 
of the Republican Congress and this Republican President, the United 
States Supreme Court echoed that moral awakening.
  I rise to commend the United States Supreme Court for affirming, in a 
5-4 decision, the constitutionality of the ban of the barbaric 
procedure that has come to be known as partial birth abortion. I 
commend President Bush for signing the bill, my colleagues on both 
sides of the aisle who supported it, and Congressman Steve Chabot of 
Ohio, its principal author.
  Life is winning in America. In big cities and small towns, American 
women are listening and learning. It's not a choice; it's a baby. 
American women are choosing life as never before.
  To all who labor in the cause of life, I say in the wake of 
yesterday's decision, press on. Your labors on behalf of the unborn are 
not in vain.
