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

  (Mrs. BOEBERT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. BOEBERT. Mr. Speaker, I rise to speak in defense of those who 
cannot defend themselves, the voiceless, the unborn.
  I rise to say what we all know to be true, that human life begins at 
conception, because we know science is real.
  The more than 60 million babies that have been ripped from their 
mother's womb since Roe v. Wade were no less valuable or worthy of life 
than any of us here today. No taxpayer should ever be forced to pay for 
abortion.
  Abortion is not healthcare, it is murder. I will not stand by 
quietly. I say Planned Parenthood can go fund themselves.
  Mr. 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, No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act, 
and ask for its immediate consideration in the House.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Cuellar). 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.
