               SUPPORT THE PARTIAL-BIRTH ABORTION BAN ACT

  (Mr. KENNEDY of Minnesota asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KENNEDY of Minnesota. Mr. Speaker, today this House is set to 
pass a historic bill, the partial-birth abortion ban. We have passed it 
several times in the past, but this time is different. In this case, we 
have a President who has said that he will sign this important bill to 
end this horrific practice.
  I have a nephew that was born a few years ago less than two pounds, 
and many of the young men and women waiting to be born that have been 
killed by this procedure have weighed more than Alexander. So I call on 
my colleagues to rise to this historic moment, pass this important 
bill, and protect those, the most innocent among us.
