NO TAXPAYER FUNDING FOR ABORTION ACT
(Mr. NORMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. NORMAN. Madam Speaker, here we go again. The majority Democratic
party wants to kill our children through abortion.
I rise today to discuss the importance of H.R. 18, the No Taxpayer
Funding For Abortion Act. For over two decades, lawmakers have passed
the Hyde amendment in a bipartisan fashion to ensure Americans aren't
forced to fund abortion on demand with their hard-earned tax dollars.
We have had a strong majority of Americans--Democrats and Republicans
alike in the past have agreed to this. Folks, it is a sad day in
America, as a father and a grandfather, to have this embarrassing
example of the killing of our children. Unborn children are no less
alive than I am. All life is a gift that begins at conception, and
develops rapidly before birth. To expect Americans to subsidize these
inhumane killings is a complete disgrace. That is why I have always
fought for the sanctity of life, and I will continue to fight.
I ask for the passage of H.R. 18 so the ban on Federal funding for
abortions is not only permanent, but Government-wide.
