                PAIN-CAPABLE UNBORN CHILD PROTECTION ACT

  (Mr. CONAWAY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)

  Mr. CONAWAY. Mr. Speaker, the House just passed the Pain-Capable 
Unborn Child Protection Act which will protect the unborn from some 
heinous conduct by certain physicians. I know I have good colleagues. 
There are good citizens on both sides of the abortion issue, and they 
are heartfelt. But a free, honest, and caring society cannot, at any 
term, tolerate the conduct by the physician in Philadelphia and those 
like him who would create the most savage, barbaric abortion methods to 
take the life of children that were 20 weeks or older.
  This bill goes a long way toward addressing that cruelty that we 
cannot let stand in this country. I'm proud of my colleagues who voted 
for it this evening, and I appreciate the passage of this bill.
