                       HYDE AMENDMENT SAVES LIVES

  (Mr. CLYDE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CLYDE. Madam Speaker, I rise today to express, once again, my 
sincere dismay that Democrats continue to ignore the wishes of the 
American people by removing the Hyde amendment and other life-affirming 
protections for the unborn from their bills, including their Big 
Government, socialist tax-and-spend reconciliation bill.
  My constituents are righteously angry that Democrats in control of 
this body time and time again choose to violate the sanctity of life. 
Moreover, they are furious at the thought of their tax dollars being 
used to violently end the lives of millions of unborn babies, millions 
of precious heartbeats in the womb.
  Madam Speaker, you and I both know full well that the Hyde amendment 
has saved lives. This is not just an opinion but a proven fact that 
simply cannot be ignored.
  I will always stand in support of the Hyde amendment and 
unapologetically fight for the sanctity of life. I urge my Democrat 
colleagues to abandon their political charade and restore the Hyde 
amendment in the bipartisan way it has been supported for almost 45 
years.
  Again, I urge you to restore the Hyde amendment.
