"For almost 40 years, Turkey has illegally occupied the northern region of Cyprus, displacing residents and hindering the country's ability to govern itself effectively," said Bilirakis. "In May, Secretary Kerry and Cypriot Foreign Minister Kasoulides held a meeting, where Mr. Kasoulides laid out several confidence-building proposals as the foundation for Cyprus' reunification.

"Gosnell's recent trial revealed the horrifying details of illegal late-term abortions and the danger they pose to women and children. Today, I joined my colleagues in support of H.R. 1797, the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which aims to protect unborn children and their mothers by preventing these atrocities from happening again. As a father of four and a U.S. Congressman, I believe strongly in the sanctity of human life – both born and unborn. It is my hope that one day no one will be in the situation where abortion is thought to be the only option."
