                   NO TAXPAYER FUNDS FOR ABORTION ACT

  (Mr. LOWENTHAL asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LOWENTHAL. Madam Speaker, instead of talking about jobs, or the 
economy, or the unemployed who have lost their benefits because of our 
inaction, we are here talking about legislation that strips women of 
their fundamental right to make their own medical decisions.
  If H.R. 7 passes, millions of women who work for small businesses, or 
who will be buying insurance on the exchanges, will lose access to 
comprehensive health care.
  H.R. 7 is a radical bill that places restrictions on how women can 
spend their private dollars to purchase their private insurance. It 
would also make the Hyde amendment permanent, which will cause 
detrimental and devastating effects to all women, especially low-income 
women.
  We must stand by women and vote ``no'' on H.R. 7.
