                 TAKING STEPS TO PROTECT ALL HUMAN LIFE

  (Ms. FOXX of North Carolina asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. FOXX of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, I rise to applaud the 
Trump administration for its proactive steps to ban fetal tissue 
research.
  Last week, HHS terminated the NIH's $13 million contract with the 
University of California, San Francisco for research involving human 
fetal tissue from elective abortions.
  Madam Speaker, we should not use aborted babies for research, period. 
Furthermore, we don't need to because there are scientifically credible 
alternatives, and this administration is expanding them.
  Just last December, NIH announced $20 million for finding ethical 
alternatives to fetal tissue research. Yet the Democratic Party 
supports research with aborted baby parts, refuses to protect babies 
born alive after an attempted abortion, and even decries the Hyde 
amendment, the most basic of protections for taxpayer money.
  Thankfully, our pro-life President will ensure that only forward 
steps will be taken to protect all human life.
