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

  (Mr. BOST asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BOST. Madam Speaker, as a father of three and a grandfather of 
11, I know what the love of family feels like and how we love our 
children and when that child takes its first breath.
  For over 40 years, the Hyde Amendment has prohibited taxpayer dollars 
from being used to fund abortion. Both Republicans and Democrats have 
supported it. However, President Biden's budget plan will remove this 
vitally important protection. That is why I am proud to cosponsor H.R. 
18, the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion and Abortion Insurance Full 
Disclosure Act.
  This bill will make the Hyde Amendment permanent. Today, tomorrow, 
and every day, I am proud to stand for life.
  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 (Mrs. Dingell). 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.
