       INTRODUCTION OF TITLE X ABORTION PROVIDER PROHIBITION ACT

  (Mr. PENCE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PENCE. Madam Speaker, you know, there aren't many good things 
happening in federally funded family planning clinics nationwide, but 
should the largest abortion provider in America also be the largest 
recipient of Federal family planning funding under title X? I think 
not. This summer, 189 Republicans and Democrats agreed, supporting my 
amendment to prohibit tax dollars from funding Planned Parenthood.
  Well, in that vein, today I'm introducing the Title X Abortion 
Provider Prohibition Act, a bill that would prohibit the distribution 
of title X family planning money to abortion providers here at home. 
There's simply no reason in the world why the taxpayer dollars of 
millions of pro-life Americans should be used to underwrite abortion 
providers in this country.
  I urge my colleagues to join me as original cosponsors this week in 
support of the Title X Abortion Provider Prohibition Act.
