                     NO TAX DOLLARS TOWARD ABORTION

  (Mr. BURCHETT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
one minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BURCHETT. Mr. Speaker, this week marks the anniversary of the Roe 
v. Wade case, which prevented States from protecting unborn children 
from the mass murder we now call abortion.
  Thankfully, last year, that case was overturned by Dobbs v. Jackson. 
That case was celebrated across the country by everyone who wants to 
protect these sweet little babies.
  The day that case was decided, I went out to the front of the Supreme 
Court, and I saw crowds of young people celebrating the victory. They 
were playing music, blowing bubbles, and just having a great time.
  I also saw crowds of angry pro-abortion activists chanting, holding 
obscene signs, and even crying. They were mourning the fact that 
abortion couldn't be forced on States that didn't want it anymore. 
Unfortunately, some of these people were Members of Congress.
  Every step of the way, my pro-abortion colleagues have blocked our 
efforts to protect babies from abortion. They have pushed for taxpayers 
to fund it. My constituents don't want their tax dollars paying for 
doctors to kill babies. They call it healthcare, to make it seem less 
evil than it is, but, Mr. Speaker, it is like putting lipstick on a 
pig. It just doesn't work.

  When faced with the true horrors of abortion, most Americans don't 
want to see this happen, and they certainly don't want to be forced to 
pay for it. It is sad that I even need to say this, but we will fight 
to protect babies from being killed as long as I am in Congress.
