March for Life

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. FULCHER. Mr. Speaker, I thank my friend and colleague from New Jersey. It is an honor to join my colleagues here during this special week.

Mr. Speaker, 3 years ago, I approached the podium for the first time to give my speech on the House floor. I chose my topic intentionally as it is an issue that I will always champion: protecting the lives of the unborn. There is no effort more worthy than supporting life. This issue defines our culture, our society, and our value system.

Every year, I am overwhelmed at the outpouring of effort, energy, and support that floods this cause. So thank you, and thank you to my colleagues in the House and Senate who join me in this fight. Thank you to the health practitioners working nonstop to provide resources to help new mothers choose life. Thanks to our advocates on the ground, from the airwaves to in-person, for continually showing your support. And thank you to our pastors and religious organizations for seeking divine guidance and strength in this effort.

I am inspired by you all and will keep doing everything I can to continue this fight to protect the unborn.

Mr. SMITH of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman.
