Women's Health Protection Act of 2022

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. CLINE. Madam Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding time.

``We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.'' Life.

Abortion is a termination of that life and a grave human rights abuse, and it must end. No one has the right to end the life of an innocent human being. The government has a duty to protect that right to life.

Since 1973, more than 63 million unborn babies have had their lives cut short. That is a tragedy and simply unacceptable, and I stand here for the sake of millions of children, for the sake of the integrity of our Nation.

Let's follow the science. Preborn humans are, in fact, humans and deserving of life. But, unfortunately, the pro-abortion left has decided that ``human'' doesn't automatically grant that right and that humans should only be accorded human rights depending on their location, level of dependency, or size.

That mindset is a travesty, and the practice of abortion will go down in history as a great stain on this Nation.
