Unprecedented Crises in America

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. PFLUGER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to oppose the abortion on demand act.

This week, Democrats have brought the so-called Women's Health Protection Act to the floor for a vote. This grotesque bill would dismantle all efforts by State lawmakers who work on behalf of their constituents to protect the unborn.

The passage of pro-life laws in Texas, such as the heartbeat bill, has broad support in the States in which they are enacted. Voters elect Republican legislators to ensure that their values are protected and defended. Out-of-touch Democrats are overriding the consciences of millions of Americans who support the right to life.

Most egregiously, this bill would legalize abortions up through the last trimester. Late-term abortions are not a healthcare issue; they are a human rights issue.

With this bill, pro-choice colleagues fail to address one crucial element, the choice of an unborn child to live out their God-given destiny.

Republicans stand ready to give our voice to the voiceless and to do everything in our reach to ensure that this bill never becomes the law of the land.
