                          PROPOSED BUDGET CUTS

  (Mrs. MALONEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mrs. MALONEY. Madam Speaker, the new Republican proposal to eliminate 
all funding for the many services provided by organizations such as 
Planned Parenthood are not merely anti-choice, they are also anti-
health, anti-woman, and anti-poor.
  The Republican proposal would eliminate the title X family planning 
which gives millions of American women access to primary and preventive 
health care. These budget cuts would deny crucial health services and 
cancer screening just to women. Their proposal would set up 
insurmountable cost barriers to family planning, just for the poor.
  Their vision of smaller government would expand the government's 
power over a women's choices. It is wrong, it is shortsighted, and it 
is unjust.
  Let's turn to the business of creating jobs and economic opportunity 
and away from the business of ruling other people's lives.
