Condemning Attacks on Life-Affirming Facilities

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. FULCHER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to support H. Con. Res. 3. This resolution condemns the recent attacks on pro-life facilities across the country. Since the Supreme Court Dobbs decision, there have been over 100 attacks on pro-life organizations and churches in the U.S., causing life-affirming centers across the country to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in security--fearing they may be targeted next.

In Idaho, life-affirming organizations provide critical services to women. For example, Stanton Healthcare in Meridian, Idaho, recently helped Leandra, a young mother facing an unexpected pregnancy, with encouragement through pre- and post-natal care and education, childbirth classes, material assistance, and mentorship resources.

This resolution shouldn't be controversial. It simply highlights that acts of violence and intimidation are unacceptable and have no place in our society. But it is important for all of us to call out this violence and condemn it.

Madam Speaker, I thank Congressman Mike Johnson for taking the lead on this resolution and for his efforts to promote life.
