                RECOGNIZING BERKS COUNTY MARCH FOR LIFE

  (Mr. MEUSER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. MEUSER. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the ninth 
annual Berks County March for Life, which I attended this past weekend. 
I was proud to join over 250 participants, and I would like to thank 
Helen MacMinn for organizing the event and Donna Lea Merritt for 
inviting me.
  Madam Speaker, I am proudly pro-life and believe in the sanctity of 
innocent, unborn human life. I was deeply troubled to see a Democratic 
Pennsylvania State representative openly berate, verbally attack, 
threaten and, in fact, terrify peaceful advocates of the unborn.
  This behavior is reprehensible for anyone, but particularly appalling 
from an elected official. This type of hostile discourse should be 
repudiated by all, Democrats and Republicans.
  The Berks March for Life event was a wonderful reminder of the unity 
and kind spirit found among the pro-life

community in Pennsylvania's Ninth Congressional District. I commend 
Pro-Life Berks for their dedication.
