unborn children are just like you and i except they're young. they're immature and they're dependent. and their human rights are violated with impunity, not just in this country, but around the world, and sadly the obama administration, and i say this with great sadness, mr. obama is on his way of becoming the abortion president. virtually everything he's done through executive order and through appointments and through other policies promote the killing of unborn children and the wounding of their mothers. so i rise in opposition to this amendment, mr. speaker -- to this rule. whether this body wanted to vote up or down on my amendment we should have had the opportunity. and i find it sadens me greatly because -- sadens me greatly because i have worked very closely with the staff on human rights issue. this is a human rights issue. there could be a consensus about the new office that's already been created and it gives statutory affirmation to women's issues but unfortunately we will not have that opportunity. i would remind my colleagues that

because science shows us human development of the unborn child and the more that we learn about the unborn child, the fascination, the intricacy, the beauty of the unborn child, the more we embrace giving life to this beautiful treasure and to this beautiful gift. and that brings us to our subject this evening, dealing with d.c. and there's a few things think a wanted to mention in my remarks. the taxpayer funding of abortion also increases the number of abortions. so when we put tax money into the equation we'll get more abortions. and it makes sense, it's practical. and that's according to the allen gute macker institute which is the research arm of planned parenthood. the institute also are you teenly reports showing that -- routinely reports showing that when public fund something not available, 30% fewer women who received medicaid have abortions. now this is interesting because it means 30% more babies whose mothers receive government subsidized health care survive because abortion funding restrictions. and this is, i think, particularly important for women and men in the african-ame

i am never stopping to fight for the unborn, never. every opportunity i can i speak for the unborn but at the same time i am also involved in immigration, i am very outspoken on what obama is doing to this economy, and to economic freedom and prosperity in this country. i can speak about those and i come to get there. i worked with ralph nader who was completely on the other side. i used to work very closely with him to stop nafta. one night he called me at home, my son yelled up the steps, ralph nader is on the phone. i told him don't ever tell another sold that ralph nader's calling my home. i figured i was finished in the conservative movement. come together with other people to accomplish something. ralph nader said we disagree on a lot, but we agree, the difference should be made in this country but not in geneva. once we get back to this country we disagree with the rules and regulations. that is how you do it but you don't dismiss people. come together a coalition. to the republican party the key is we are about personal free m

we know more about the magnificent life of an unborn child than ever before. microsurgeries are being done. these unborn children are the littlest patients. they can get blood transfusions. unfortunately, in some hospital rooms and clicks, they are being dismembered, chemically poisoned and being starved to death in the act of abortion which then is suggested to be a benign act. it is anything but. it's not compassion, it shows no sense of justice. the public should not be forced , compelled to finance the aabortion in the district of columbia or anywhere else. i yield back to my friend. ms. is submit: may i ask the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady's time has expired. mrs. schmidt: i would like to say this is a sensitive and important issue, the public has spoken outen the fact they don't want federal funds used for abortion. the president as a candidate and when he took office and in subsequent speeches said he wants to work to reduce the number of abortions. to do that is not to allow for federal funds. i would only hope this admin

in the red, red ink up to our eyeballs, we don't have money to pay for the intentional murder of unborn children. the obama changes this amendment to the financial services appropriations bill so that publicly funded abortions will once again be available in the district of columbia. so right here, where we stand this evening, this is the district of columbia, and so now once again, president obama is expanding abortion. instead of making it rare, instead of making it safer, this is making more abortions, particularly for babies of -- preborn babies of color. the district of columbia has a record of abusing taxpayer funds for abortion. it's bad news but it's true news. in the 1980's, when the district had the most permissive abortion funding policy in this country, abortions were funded for anyone, not just medicaid recipients. elizabeth reveal was the d.c. budget director at the time shetch confirmed the district's government has a policy of funding aabortion on demand and did not attempt to determine the circumstances of the pregnancy. d.c. allows minors, that's children, to receive a

i will be a champion of the unborn. i am your candidate. the core of our party is socially conservative. that is where our strength is. they have always been there for those candidates. just think for a moment. and individual who's truly pro-life. we believe that every single time an abortion occurs a child's life is taken. we also believe that there is a second victim, that the woman, the mother, suffers enormously and that suffering continues very likely throughout her life. this is a terrible tragedy. that is what i believe. but you get into a position of power and you are afraid to talk about it. what kind of character, what kind of person is that? you have leaders in our party, when we have the majority, who.blank say the abortion controversy is too controversial. babies are dying by the thousands every day. it is too controversial? what kind of person are you that you can't use the opportunity you have been given by people who believe in you to help an unborn child? that you are silent by the opponents, you are silenced by leaders in

the same time they aren't taxed dollars going to find a mother who will terminate the life of her unborn child. now at present the bills do not specifically state that abortion will be covered either in the house with the senate versions, but we're certain that abortion will be covered under the guise of funding health care services which are stated more broadly. the only way that we can assure that tax dollars will not go to fund abortion is to make sure that it is explicitly stated that it will not be funded through a public system or through the health care reform initiative. as we know, nancy pelosi said that as a way save money through family planning which includes abortion counseling and abortion services. 71 percent of americans in a poll just last month expressed opposition to the idea that their tax dollars would go to fund abortion. so when you combine in the concept of rationing that we would deny people health care coverage all at the same time taking their money to end a life of an unborn child, that is something that is intolerable for many americans. in addition to not fu

is saying he is saving these for generations unborn. i want to lay this down for tracks in libraries, so they know what happened. the battles didn't just happen by osmosis. we just n'

provide justice for all, especially vulnerable persons, including the elderly, the mother and her unborn child, instead of -- and trying to propose the resistance to tyranny and twisted ideologies. i yield back. the chair: the gentleman from california. mr. berman: yes, mr. chairman. i'm pleased to yield a minute and a half to the very active and distinguished member of the committee, ms. sheila jackson lee, the gentlelady from texas. the chair: the gentlewoman from texas is recognized for 1 1/2 minutes. ms. jackson lee: i thank the speaker. i ask unanimous consent to revise and extend my remarks. i thank the chairman. thank you very much to both the chairman and the ranking member of the full committee, chairman berman, ranking member ros-lehtinen. it is too short a time to talk about the catastrophic positive effect that this will have on the american people, their security and their position in the world. we have always been a country that recognizes the importance of minding our own business, but frankly also understand the importance of being a good friend. i rise to support h.r. 24

this bill and take this historic opportunity for our children, our grandchildren and generations yet unborn. i yield back the balance of my time. >> i really hate to do this. you file a 300 page amendment at 30 9:00 a.m., the american people need to know what is in this bill. -- at 3:00 and 9:00 p.m., the american people need to know what is in this bill. the federal and financial institution shall not, later than six months, revised its standards for the performance of real estate appraisers in connection with federally related transactions under the jurisdiction of the agency to comply with the requirement under the amendments made by paragraph 1 of this section. now, we have to retrain every appraiser in america so that they understand this law so that they know how to properly appraise the value of someone's property. oh, i have not finished. for qualifications regarding consideration of any renewable sources for energy efficiency, every appraiser is not only going to be retrained, but we will now need to send all to school. but to get to page 157. of the appraisal subcommittee, another

this bill, take this historic opportunity for our children, our grandchildren and generations yet unborn. i so a lot of power without any congressional oversight. now i really hate to do this, but when you file a 3---- 300-page amendment at 3:09 a.m., the american people have a right to know what's in this bill. they have a right to know what we're voting on. let me get to the bottom of page 155. revision of a -- of appraising standards. each federal financial institution regulatory agency shall not later than six months after the date of the enactment of this act revise its standards for the performance of real estate appraisers in connection with federally related transactions under the jurisdiction of the agency to comply with the requirement under the amendments made by paragraph 1 of this section. so now we have to retrain every appraiser in america so that they understand this law, so they know how to properly appraise the value of someone's property. oh. oh, i haven't finished. and they need to meet the requirements established pursuant to subsection f for qualifications regarding

i believe we have a deep moral obligation to say the unborn, but i also believe we have a deep moral obligation to care for childn after they have been born and to help every american in every community have a better future. we should go boldly into every community and reach out to every american. i think it is vital that we do that. this administration would destroy the american health-care system. the new york times let the cat out of the bag with its cheerful call for a maximum tax increase. i think the director of the budget should have frightened all of us. i am fundamentally opposed to comparative effectiveness becoming the first step toward rationing, because if we have been endowed by our creator, how can a government bureaucrat tell you you don't deserve the best possible madison, the best possible procedure, the best possible hospital? i think the court fight of the next few months will be what we have worked for years on. can we in fact develop a health system which is a health-based health reform working on the standards and best procedures, modernizing the system, saving

it is language is always for generations unborn. and that the character, the american character was going to be formed by having these intimate contact with the wild. for many different reasons or aesthetic reasons, utilitarian reasons, needing to use the land properly. even for character building. he thought that the best soldiers were people that knew how to live and survive in the woods for three days or more and understood how to read nature. in that way, the fact that he had been a triumphanalist, a good for the cavalry attitude. as president and in his writings he takes on a native american view of nature. as former president egos to live with the hopi indians and takes part in rattlesnake candling. he is surroundined in a hut with rattlesnakes while people are handling them. he wrote an essay on it. he would ride on a horse with the comanche chief in oklahoma. near fort sill. it's gorgeous. it's called wichita mountains. here's wichita, a beautiful mountain. it is in the plains. the plains indians feel the 60 million buffalo

and trees, and to -- the president has an obligation to make sure that we put aside for generations unborn, natural wonders like roosevelt did, like the grand canyon or mount olympus or the petrified forest. they turned this training center for conservation into a museum almost four theodore roosevelt. >> the training center is the national conservation training center, one of many places douglas brinkley went to research his book. >> we talk about the eagle's nest and our discussion with doug brinkley about his book on conservation. it's over your shoulder. >> that was five years ago we had a bald eagles that started trying to build a nest. first season they did not do a good job, but the second season they came back and tried again. they succeeded in building their nest. they had two eaglets back here. one of them died and the other one went out. >> what does this have to do with the business you are in? >> until recently the american bald eagle was endangered. it is because of work by the fish and wildlife service and many other conservation groups that it was taken off the endangered s

that they may not be able to get treatment, but yet their money is going to be end the life of an unborn child or end the life of someone on the other end of the life spectrum, that is more than i think most americans are willing to tolerate. [applause] >> tony perkins. thank you. if we have some questions, i'd like to -- can i see hands up? i want to wrap up in a few minutes here. guys? question here. >> how does anyone compare today's media coverage in an environment with that in the 1990's battle over health care? >> i can speak to that. if media coverage of this debate over having the government take over health care compared to when they were taking over the health care. >> they were rooting for government takeover then and they're rooting for government takeover now. i would say -- i was talking about this. i think in 2000, the media wanted to carry it away. in 2008, they enacted the role of ensuring. barack obama won. as a result of that, thf a stake -- they own stock in this administration. so i think in that instance, as far as how they're covering the debate now thus far, they

this bill, take this historic opportunity for our children, our grandchildren and generations yet unborn. i so a lot of power without any congressional oversight. now i really hate to do this, but when you file a 3---- 300-page amendment at 3:09 a.m., the american people have a right to know what's in this bill. they have a right to know what we're voting on.

this bill, take this historic opportunity for our children, our grandchildren and generations yet unborn. i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the gentleman from virginia. mr. forbes: madam speaker, could i request how much time is remaining? the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from virginia has 3 1/2 minutes remaining. the gentleman from california has 10 minutes remaining. mr. forbes: madam speaker, i'd ke to yield myself 1 1/2 minutes, please. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. forbes: madam speaker, the distinguished minority leader just said that americans must lead and lead they must. he also indicated that the cost of our failure would be passed onto our children and grandchildren. as one of only 17 members in this body that's voted against every bailout bill and stimulus bill we have passed, i ask the american people who are watching here, what has been the enormous cost of our fail pour that spending all of those dollars and what -- failure for spending all of those dollars and

deny people health care coverage while at the same time taking their money to end the life of an unborn child, that is something that is intolerable for many americans. in addition to not funding abortion, health care providers rights must be protected. health care providers should not have to participate in abortion or other practices, such as euthanasia, or the prescription of drugs that would end life as well. constant protections must be included in the health care bills. some have argued on the other side that these issues are covered by the hide amendment and other writers. we have to realize that those are annual riders which can easily be knocked off by congress. any provisions pertaining to life and the conscience rights of medical professionals must be provided in these bills. we would encourage americans to express their concerns with these issues to their congress.

plants and trees and the president has an obligation to make sure that we put aside for generations unborn natural wonders like roosevelt did like the grant canyon or mount olympus or the petrified forest. this turned this training center for conservation into a museum for theodore roosevelt. >> when did you get interested in theodore roosevelt? i loved him since childhood. i enjoyed lead reading about him. i loved the buy graph i-s. i really got interested in him in 1992 when i had a program, "the magic bus" that brings students across the country. i went to the badlands of north dakota. it's the western edge. that's where t.r. spent his ranching days as a cowboy and did some hunting. he wrote incredible books, particularly called "the wilderness hunter." the in-between was an incredibly informed writing by the biology, the ecosystem as we call it today of the badlands. roosevelt knew more about the badlands than any persona live 100 years ago. i fell in love with that particular american landscape. i was teaching at hofstra university with the late john gable who died unfortunately of ca

natural beauty here was so spectacular that we had to say that his language is always for generations unborn and that the character, the american character was going to be formed by having these intimate contact with the wild and for many different reasons, for the aesthetic reasons, for use tilltarian reasons to use the land properly. for character building, he thought that the best soldiers were people that knew how to live and survive in the woods for three or four days and understood how to read nature. and in that way, the fact that roosevelt had been kind of a triumphantist. he wasn't part of the indian wars in america. his writings have a good for the call have a ri attitude. as president in his writings, he takes on a native american view of nature. he as ex president goes to live with the hopi and takes part in rattlesnake handling. he is surrounded in a hut by rattlesnakes while people are handling them. he wrote an essay about the rattlesnakes. he would go and ride on his horse with the conance -- comanceh chief and it's gorgeous. it's called the wichita mountains. it's in the pla

wealthy businessmen are live with their elegant wives and unborn religious leaders love behind other pressing matters to make an appearance, workers and peasants showed up in droves. spilling out into the street leading st. john the baptist church. the crash was so dense that movement became almost impossible. horse-drawn tram's the seesawed through the center were forced to stop running as long lines of caris around the block. at 9:00 a.m. of the bell rang out, mapping the masses to attention, all eyes turned toward a majestic panel chaired out with a canopy of a silver brocade. it was part before the grand as residents on the block, a free story high mention that was a testament to the architectural beauty cropping up all over russia. the heavy wooden doors parted in the archdeacon from st. john the baptist church emerged softly reciting prayers. a group bearing a, and decorative but they really fell into line after him. a choir came out then singing the holy god prayer followed by a dozen workers. each carried a pillow with six medals and honors earned by the deceased during an ex

for the better, if one happens to be poor, disenfranchised, weak, disabled, a person of color, an unborn child or among the many so-called undesirable, the disabled, sanger would exclude and ex-trerm nate from the human race. sanger's political writings dripped with contempt for those who she considered to be unfit to live. i've read many of sanger's articles and books. she was an unapologetic new general cyst and racist. she said one of the most important things a family member can do. she said eugenics is a thorough avenue to solving political problems. she devoted a chapter of her book called the cruelty of charity, explaining a shockingly inhumane case for the systematic denial of prenatal and maternal health care for poor pregnant women. she said such benevolence is not merely superficial and nearsighted, it conceals a stupid cruelty and leads to a deterioration in the human stock and the per petchuation of defectives, delinquents. it is to me and many mobes who are pro life extraordinarily difficult to see how anyone can be in awe of margaret sanger, a person who made no secret of

is saying he's saving these parks for generation unborn, i want to lay this down as, like, a track for libraries, that every kid will know what happened, that there were battles fought in this country to save these places. they didn't just happen by osmosis. we don't just sort of have wind cave, south dakota saved for no reason, or sites in the south, or places that people love in new mexico saved. each ground site was a battle of whether or not the federal government should have this land or not. each state has a local hero. y

speaker, the prolife movement is absolutely nonviolent and committed to protecting the unborn children and their mothers through peaceful, nonviolent means. i have been in the prolife movement for 37 years, and those peaceful nonviolent means includes legal and constitutional reform as well as tangiblely assisting women with crisis pregnancies. dr. tiller's murderer must be brought to swift justice, commence rate with the heinous crime that he has committed. murder is murder. murder is never justified and can never be condoned by any society committed to fundamental human rights, justice and the rule of just law. let me as well, like my other colleagues on the floor today, extend my profound condolences to the tiller family. and i yield back to my friend the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new jersey yields back. the gentleman from new york is recognized. mr. nadler: i'll reserve my time at this point. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from new york reserves. mr. issa: i would continue to yield. i'm sorry. i continue to reserve unless the gentleman
