Mr. TURNER. Mr. Speaker, today, the United States House of Representatives votes on two important pieces of legislation that offer us the opportunity to take a strong stance supporting life--H.R. 3134, the Defund Planned Parenthood Act of 2015 and H.R. 3504, the Born-Alive Survivors Protection Act of 2015. We must demand that all human beings be treated equally, with the dignity that each human life deserves.

The right to life is one of the most fundamental and precious rights we enjoy as Americans. We must protect it with a degree of strength that equals its significance. Time and time again over my years in Congress, I have stood on the side of life, and I am proud to do so again today. I urge my colleagues, in the strongest terms, to do the same--to stand on the side of life.
