REQUEST TO CONSIDER H.R. 962, BORN-ALIVE ABORTION SURVIVORS PROTECTION
ACT
Mr. BARR. 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. Danny K. Davis 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. BARR. 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 others to join in this
request.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman is not recognized for debate.
