                     57 MILLION INNOCENT LIVES LOST

  (Mr. BABIN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. BABIN. Mr. Speaker, it is with great sadness that I rise today in 
memory of the 43rd anniversary of the Supreme Court's tragic decision 
in Roe v. Wade. Since Roe v. Wade, we have lost 57 million innocent 
lives. May God rest their souls. That is an astounding and absolutely 
heart-numbing loss.
  Countless lives have been impacted by abortion. Each one of those 57 
million children had a future destroyed by abortion.
  Even Norma McCorvey, the plaintiff known as Roe, revealed in 1995 
that she had, in fact, become pro-life and is now a vocal opponent of 
abortion and the abortion industry.
  Mr. Speaker, the sanctity of human life must be protected. We have a 
duty to protect the lives of all Americans, especially the most 
helpless and innocent of all, the unborn.
  I stand with the thousands of Americans who will soon gather on The 
Washington Mall to serve as the voice of 57 million unborn babies whose 
lives were tragically taken through abortion.
