In
a press release, Congressman Steve King, R-IA, said that in addition to
the gallery seat left empty by President Obama in honor of victims of
gun violence, "There will be another empty seat in the gallery
during Obama’s last State of the Union address. I have reserved it to
commemorate the lives of more than 55 million aborted babies, ‘the
chorus of voices that have never been heard in this world but are heard
beautifully and clearly in the next world.’"
"My
seat on the floor of Congress will also be empty," said King. "I will
be in the Member’s chapel praying for God to raise up a leader whom he
will use to restore the Soul of America.”
“The
first tears we have seen him shed in seven years were for the victims
of the tragic Sandy Hook School shooting," King noted. "As far as we
know, Obama has never shed a single tear for even one of the more than 9
million babies aborted under his watch. He is the most pro-abortion
president ever."
King
said he was "sickened... by a president who would veto the Born-Alive
Abortion Survivors Protection Act, H.R. 3504 that would protect the
lives, at least of those who survived the attempt on their lives, by
abortionists."
On Monday, Senator Ted Cruz, R-TX, promised that
he himself would leave a seat open for abortion victims at the State of
the Union address if he is elected president. King has endorsed Cruz
for president.
