MR. STUTZMAN: THANK YOU TO MY 
COLLEAGUES OF BRINGING THIS 
IMPORTANT ISSUE TO THE HOUSE  
FLOOR THIS EVENING AND  
APPRECIATE ALL THE OTHER  
COMMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE. 
HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE 
AS THE CHAIRMAN AND PUBLIC  
POLICY BACK IN INDIANA, I DO  
REMEMBER THE TIME WHEN MY WIFE  
AND I WERE EXPECTING OUR  
SECOND-BORN.
AND WHEN WE WERE DEALING WITH 
PRO-LIFE LEGISLATION IN INDIANA 
AND HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO
HOME AND TO SEE THE ULTRASOUNDS 
OF OUR SECOND-BORN WAS QUITE THE
EXPERIENCE. 
AND I KNOW THAT WITH THE  
ANNIVERSARY OF ROE VERSUS WADE  
COMING UP, THIS IS AN ISSUE ON  
THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF 
AMERICANS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. 
SO, TODAY, AS WE REMEMBER 38TH  
ANNIVERSARY OF ROE VERSUS WADE  
AND THE MILLIONS OF INNOCENT  
LIVES TAKEN SINCE 1973. 
IN 2008 ALONE, THERE WERE OVER  
1.2 MILLION ABORTIONS, THAT IS  
3,315 INNOCENT CHILDREN BORN PER
DAY, ABOUT TWO EVERY MINUTE.
WHILE I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT  
FUTURE GENERATIONS WILL PLAY  
ALONGSIDE THE DRED-SCOTT  
DECISION, THERE IS WORK BEFORE  
US. 
ALL OF THAT BEGINS WITH A SINGLE
INQUIRY.
A SIMPLE QUESTION FORMS THE 
CORNSTONE OF THE NATIONAL 
DEBATE, WHEN DOES HUMAN LIFE  
BEGIN.
WITHOUT THAT, WE ARE LEFT WITH  
EMPTY RHETORIC. 
WHEN DOES HUMAN LIFE BEGIN? 
THIS IS NOT A PHILOSOPHICAL 
ENDEAVOR. 
SCIENCE HAS GIVEN US THE ANSWER.
THEY UNDERSCORE THE FACT THAT IT
IS FROM THE MOMENT OF 
FERTILIZATION AND IT IS HUMAN 
AND VALUABLE. 
THOSE WHO IGNORE REALITY OUGHT  
TO REMEMBER JOHN ADAMS, THAT  
FACTS ARE STUBBORN THINGS.
BECAUSE UNIQUE HUMAN LIFE BEGINS
AT THE MOMENT OF FERTILIZATION, 
IT IS OUR DUTY TO DEFEND THE  
UNBORN, SPEAK UP FOR THE WEAK,  
TO CONTINUE WITH FIRMNESS AND 
THE RIGHT.
I PROUDLY SUPPORT HOUSE 
RESOLUTION 212, SANCTITY OF 
HUMAN LIFE ACT, WHICH DEFINES 
HUMAN LIFE ACCORDINGLY AND  
AFFIRMS THAT EACH STATE HAS THE 
THE AUTHORITY TO PROTECT ALL  
HUMAN
