but the reason i want to talk tonight is the right for the unborn. and we were told that when we did this health care bill, don't worry about it, we'll do the executive order, because we are going to take the stupak-pitts amendment out. truth of the matter, if we were going to do the stupak-pitts -- executive order, why didn't we pass the stupak-pitts amendment? the reason is because inside that bill in several paragraphs is the ability for taxpayers' money to be used for abortions. in fact, according to the federal legislative director of right to life, obamacare provides authorizations for subsidies for abortions both implicit and explicit and let's vote for life. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. the gentleman from pennsylvania reserves. the gentleman from new jersey. mr. pallone: i yield two minutes to the the gentlewoman from illinois, ms. schakowsky. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman is recognized for two minutes. ms. schakowsky: i thank the gentleman for yielding. we are running out of legislative days before th

but 50% of the unborn babies that are being aborted are females. so the misogyny comes from those who promote the killing of unborn babies. that's where the misogyny comes in, madam speaker. it doesn't come in from our trying to protect taxpayers' money from being spent on killing unborn children. madam speaker, in order to allow the house to continue its scheduled business for the day, i urge members to vote yes on the question of consideration of the resolution and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman yields back. all time for debate has expired. the question is, will the house now consider the resolution. so many as are in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair, the ayes have it. the question of consideration is decided in the affirmative. the gentlewoman from north carolina. the gentlewoman is recognized for one hour. ms. foxx: for the purpose of debate only i yield the customary 30 minutes to the gentleman from florida, mr. hastings, pending which i yield myself such time as i may

that start with protecting our most innocent and how vulnerable unborn children. [applause] 50 million have died becae america has not guaranteed the right to live expressly stated in the declaration of indendence. as governor of texas and throughout my career, i have taken an unwavering stance in defense of life. i signed legislation requiring parental consent for a minor to have an abortion. i signed the prenatal protection act. i signed the informed consent law. this year i signed two other productions, one a law that ensures pregnant women received a sonogram before an abortion. i was proud to defund planned parenthood in texas. [applause] that sonogram built is tied up in the courts and it reminds me of one of the most important responsibilities of any president. that is to appoint federal judges to hold the constitution of the united states instead of writing. activist judges who gave us roe vs. wade. it is time for activist citizens to pass a human life amendment.

i don't know what it means to say an unborn person has liberty. i don't know how you could possibly catch up, in its original intent, to what these people are talking about. >> and one thing, when you say an unborn person or a fertilized egg has liberty, you're saying that a woman doesn't. because, again, what we're talking about here is, you know, these people pretend to be kind of small government libertarians, it's hard to imagine a more kind of radical intrusion into people's lives. you know, they seem to want government out of our medicare, but in our uteruses. this is -- you know, forced pregnancy, forced pregnancy and dictating to women the kind of birth control they can use, the kind of help that they can seek out when they find themselves unable to get pregnant, it shows such a profound disrespect for women's liberty and women's autonomy and women's ability to make their own decisions. >> i think they ought to have those million people marches for life against young men having unprotected sex with young women with no intention of having a

child. >> reporter: but it can have a great deal of harm on an unborn child.rescriptions have to be monitored. but police are worried there are loopholes. doctors don't have to check the database and they don't have to enter the prescription in the database and pharmacies don't have to check and they have 7 days before they have to report. so there is a window of opportunity for people to go doctor shopping, get hundreds of these pills for their own use or they can take them to other states in the nation where a pill they would buy for a dollar in florida could go for as high as $30 a pill and they take the problem across the country. megyn: what are the attorney general of the united states and florida going to do? it's been questionable trying to charge a mother for abusive conduct to her unborn baby because of pro-choice and pro life issues. what can they do here? >> reporter: certainly that was an issue that came to the forefront during the crack baby epidemic. what the attorney general will be talking about here is something called pill-nation. in south f
