  (Mr. FRANKS of Arizona asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. FRANKS of Arizona. Madam Speaker, to paraphrase James Agee, ``In 
every child who is born, under no matter what circumstances, and of no 
matter what parents, the potentiality of the entire human race is born 
all over again.'' The Democrats say compassion is the fundamental 
motivation behind this government takeover bill. But if compassion was 
the motivation, Madam Speaker, Democrat leadership would not be so 
doggedly determined to include the increased taxpayer-funded murder of 
little unborn children in this bill. Nothing so completely destroys the 
notion that this bill is about compassion than the arrogant 
disenfranchisement of those who are helpless and have no voice. It is 
an unspeakable disgrace.
  Madam Speaker, it is obvious that Democrats are determined to ram 
this bill down the throats of the American people using the so-called 
Slaughter solution, a shameless political gimmick that would avoid even 
an up-or-down vote on the bill. But if they do, Madam Speaker, the 
world will know that it was never about compassion, and Democrats will 
find that they have dangerously underestimated the American people.
