EXTREME RIGHT-WING RADICAL REPUBLICAN PROPOSES PROHIBITING THE RIGHT TO 
   ABORTION FOR AMERICA'S MOST VULNERABLE, VICTIMS OF RAPE AND INCEST

  (Mrs. LOWEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, we see the actions of the extreme, mean-
spirited Republican majority every day cut school lunch, cut student 
loans, cut drug-free schools, and tomorrow the extreme Republican 
majority will introduce an amendment to prohibit the most vulnerable in 
our society, victims of rape and incest, from terminating an abortion; 
it is hard to believe, the most vulnerable, victims of rape and incest.
  In fact, the majority of the American people think that that should 
be legal.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to congratulate the gentleman from Georgia, Newt 
Gingrich, in saying that he would speak out against the Istook 
amendment and vote against the Istook amendment. I do hope he can 
contain the extreme right wing radical part of his Republican majority.
