ABORTION ON DEMAND BILL
(Mr. PALAZZO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. PALAZZO. Mr. Speaker, last week, I voted in opposition to one of the most radical attacks on the unborn that Congress has ever seen.
H.R. 3755, the abortion on demand bill would create a dangerous national standard that would allow the execution of innocents solely because of their race, sex, or disability.
Our Nation denounces those who devalue life. We condemn China and North Korea for their human rights abuses, and yet, we must reconcile with the fact that some of our Nation's leaders are devaluing the life of American babies.
It is simple. Abortion is murder, and murder is wrong. ``Thou shalt not kill'' is not a statement to reject for the sake of politics.
As a Catholic and a father, I will always defend the unborn. As a conservative Congressman, I will continue fighting to keep taxpayer dollars from being used to fund these violent procedures.
May God have mercy on us all.
