Possibility of Overturning Roe V. Wade
Floor Speech
BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
Mr. BABIN. Madam Speaker, thanks to my good friend, Mike Johnson from Louisiana, for this Special Order and how important it is.
While we face countless crises, all of which are getting worse by the day, it is not hard to stand up here and soundly condemn and criticize President Biden and my colleagues on the other side of the aisle for the atrocious job that they are doing managing the United States of America.
Tonight, I am going to focus on one particular issue that literally is life or death for millions of future Americans. In the coming weeks, the Supreme Court of the United States will rule in the Dobbs v. Jackson case on whether Mississippi and other States like them can prohibit the murder of an unborn baby after 15 weeks.
Thanks to modern science, we can now see that at 15 weeks, the humanity of an unborn child is completely and absolutely undeniable. At 15 weeks, babies can suck their thumbs and have fully formed noses, eyes, and eyebrows, and most of all they can feel pain.
Make no mistake, we have reached a pivotal moment in our relentless fight for life--the lives of the innocent, the most innocent among us.
The Democrats have embraced an anti-life agenda so radical that they are actually supporting now infanticide--even though 71 percent of Americans support protections for our unborn. Think about that.
Americans across the country are eagerly supporting babies, mothers, and families. In 2019 alone, more than 2,700 pregnant centers provided more than 1.85 million mothers in the United States with free maternal services. But, par for the course, the party of science continues to ignore the science completely.
Last week's leak from inside the Supreme Court was a blatant attempt to obstruct deliberations and to intimidate Justices. Standing outside and intimidating Justices on the Supreme Court is illegal.
It was appalling and dangerous, and I hope that the investigation into this breach of trust holds those responsible accountable for their actions to the very fullest extent of the law.
That being said, the ongoing protests by pro-abortion activists outside the private homes of our Supreme Court Justices, again, folks, is outright illegal. I am calling on Attorney General Merrick Garland to do his job and act immediately to enforce the rule of law.
If the leaked Dobbs decision stands, the most innocent among us will finally have their voices heard. Half a century of error will then be corrected and millions of lives will be saved. No matter the outcome of this momentous case, I will never ever stop fighting for the unborn.
