Mr. Speaker, finally, mercifully, the most destructive Supreme Court decision in history has been reversed, something many of us believed we would never live to see, after decades of disappointment.
Not only was the Roe decision without constitutional merit, but no other decision in the history of the Court caused so much destruction, so much carnage, so much devastation, with 63 million lives lost.
Sixty-three million lives, about the population of France, more than the population of Italy, Ukraine, or Canada. Sixty-three million lives, 1.4 million a year, more than the 2-year amount attributable to the China virus, for every year for nearly 50 years, all of them 100 percent attributable and 100 percent preventable.
Thank God for the hundreds of thousands of relentless pro-life activists, for millions of pro-life marchers, for tens of millions of pro-life voters, and thank God for the courage of six Supreme Court Justices who withstood the pressure, the threats, and the intimidation to do the right thing morally and constitutionally.
May our legislative bodies in Washington now match that courage. The responsibility passes to us now, the people's elected representatives, to pass laws protecting all life in the womb.
