Frederick Douglass Bicentennial
Feb 27, 2018
Mr. President,
Two hundred years ago this month, a man was born into slavery in a cabin not far from here in Maryland.
The child knew his mother only briefly; they were cruelly separated when he was young. He knew his father only by the rumors.
He's Always Lucas First
Feb 9, 2018
Mr. President,
There is good news. There is great news. And then there is the story of Lucas Warren of Dalton, Georgia.
I do not know Lucas. For he is only 18 months old – and so has the good sense not to consort with politicians. But like millions of Americans who have not met Lucas, I will never forget him.
Floor Speech on the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act
Jan 29, 2018
Mr. President,
Right now, the United States is one of just seven countries in the whole world that allow elective abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
And we are not in good company.
Of the other six countries that allow elective abortions at that late stage, half are authoritarian communist countries with horrible records on human rights.
Remarks to the National Association of Evangelicals-Christian Student Leadership Conference
Jan 23, 2018
I'd like to start by thanking the National Association of Evangelicals for inviting me to speak.
It is heartening to see so many young Christians who are engaged with their faith as well as public controversies-and so early in the morning, too.
This conference is a unique opportunity for you to learn about the serious challenges facing our country, and how Christians can respond to them.
