REQUEST TO CONSIDER H.R. 962, BORN-ALIVE ABORTION SURVIVORS PROTECTION
ACT
Mr. CHABOT. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the Committee
on the Judiciary be discharged from further consideration of H.R. 962,
the Born-Alive Survivors Protection Act, legislation which protects the
sanctity of life for the unborn by ensuring that infants who are born
alive receive proper medical care, 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.
Parliamentary Inquiry
Mr. CHABOT. Mr. Speaker, parliamentary inquiry.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman will state his parliamentary
inquiry.
Mr. CHABOT. Mr. Speaker, if this unanimous consent request cannot be
entertained, I urge the Speaker and the majority leader to immediately
schedule consideration of the Born-Alive bill so we can stand up and
protect the sanctity of human life, and I would ask all of my
colleagues in this body to join in my request.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman has not stated a proper
parliamentary inquiry.
