REQUEST TO CONSIDER H.R. 962, BORN-ALIVE ABORTION SURVIVORS PROTECTION
ACT
Mr. JOHNSON of Louisiana. Madam Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that
the Committee on the Judiciary be discharged from further consideration
of H.R. 962, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, and ask
for its immediate consideration in the House.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under guidelines consistently issued by
successive Speakers, as recorded in section 956 of the House Rules and
Manual, the Chair is constrained not to entertain the request unless it
has been cleared by the bipartisan floor and committee leaderships.
Mr. JOHNSON of Louisiana. Madam Speaker, if the request cannot be
entertained, I urge the Speaker and majority leader to immediately
schedule the Born-Alive bill so we can stand up and protect the
sanctity of human life, and I ask all Members to join in that request.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is not recognized for debate.
