“ In the midst of a global pandemic, economic hardship for millions of Americans, and the tragic events of January 6th, now is the time for us to come together, now is the time to heal.
I urge you and every member of Congress to avoid actions that would further divide and inflame the passions of the moment. Work with us to lower the temperature and unite our country as we prepare to inaugurate President-elect Joe Biden as the next President of the United States. ”

“ Life is winning through the compassion of caregivers and volunteers at crisis pregnancy centers and faith-based organizations who minister to women, in cities and towns across this country.
And life is winning through the quiet counsels between mothers and daughters, grandmothers and granddaughters, between friends across kitchen tables, and over coffee on college campuses the truth is being told and compassion is overcoming convenience, hope is defeating despair.
In a word, life is winning in America because of all of you. ”

“ Reza Saberi, who was born in Iran, and Akiko Saberi, who is from Japan.
As we learn of cases like Miss Saberi, we understand the stakes that
are at risk here. We understand why oppressive regimes like that of
Iran want so desperately to muzzle the unfiltered reporting of
journalists like Saberi. And we understand why it is so important to
cherish and protect freedom of the press as a vital check on abuses of
power. ”

“ Every American was shocked and saddened by the attack on our Nation's Capitol last week, and I am grateful for the leadership that you and other congressional leaders provided in reconvening Congress to complete the people’s business on the very same day. ”

“ Since this day was first celebrated, 692 journalists have been
killed. The majority of victims were local reporters covering topics
such as crime, corruption, and national security in their home
countries. Adding to this tragic figure are the hundreds more each year
who face intimidation, censorship, and arbitrary arrest--guilty of
nothing more than a passion for truth and a tenacious belief that a
free society depends on an informed citizenry. ”

“ Life is winning through the steady advance of science that illuminates when life begins.
Life is winning through the generosity of millions of adoptive families, who open their hearts and homes to children in need. ”

“ After the horrific events of this last week, our Administration's energy is directed to ensuring an orderly transition. The Bible says that "for everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven. ”

“ That’s why this administration will work with Congress to end taxpayer funding for abortion and abortion providers, and we will devote those resources to health-care services for women across America. ”
