REQUEST TO CONSIDER H.R. 962, BORN-ALIVE ABORTION SURVIVORS PROTECTION
ACT
Mr. ALLEN. Mr. 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 (Mr. Casten of Illinois). 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. ALLEN. Mr. Speaker, if this unanimous consent request cannot be
entertained, I urge the Speaker and the Majority Leader to immediately
schedule the Born-Alive bill so we can stand up and protect the
sanctity of human life, and I would ask all of us to join in that
request.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman has not been recognized for
debate.
