Well done, Congressman.
WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Congressman Mike Pence made the following remarks at the 38th Annual March for Life today on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.:
“We gather to mark the 38th anniversary of the worst Supreme Court decision since Dred Scott. And we gather today in the shadow of a new pro-life majority on Capitol Hill. And we will keep gathering until Roe v. Wade is sent to the ash heap of history where it belongs.
“These are trying times in the life of this nation.
“Our economy is struggling and our national government is awash in a sea of debt.
“Amidst these struggles, some would have us focus our energies on jobs and spending.
“We must not remain silent when great moral battles are being waged. Those who would have us ignore the battle being fought over life have forgotten the lessons of history. As in the days of a house divided, America’s darkest moments have come when economic arguments trumped moral principles.
“A nation that will not stand for life will not stand for long.
“You know there can be no lasting prosperity without a moral foundation in law.
“And as to focusing on spending, I agree.
“Let’s start by denying all federal funding for abortion at home and abroad.
“The largest abortion provider in America should not also be the largest recipient of federal funding under Title X.
“The time has come to deny any and all federal funding to Planned Parenthood of America.
