   REQUEST TO CONSIDER H.R. 18, NO TAXPAYER FUNDING FOR ABORTION ACT

  (Mr. STAUBER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. STAUBER. Madam Speaker, as a father of four, I believe that life 
is a gift that must be cherished and defended.
  For me, a pro-life father of four, a huge part of my story is my son 
Isaac. Isaac was born with Down syndrome. I know that with our love and 
support, he is capable of moving mountains.
  The sad news is that many don't believe that people like my son 
deserve a right to life or to reach their full potential.
  This is why I am a cosponsor of legislation like H.R. 18, the No 
Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act. This bill will help ensure that 
taxpayer dollars do not go toward taking away any child's right to 
life.
  Imagine a world where every child was given the opportunity to dream, 
accomplish, and succeed. The world would be a much better place, our 
future brighter than ever.
  That is why I will always support legislation that ensures every life 
is protected.

  Madam Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the Committees on Energy 
and Commerce, Ways and Means, and the Judiciary be discharged from 
further consideration of H.R. 18 and ask for its immediate 
consideration in the House.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. As the Chair previously advised, the request 
cannot be entertained absent appropriate clearance.
