                     NO TAXPAYER FUNDS FOR ABORTION

  (Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, last week, amid frigid 
temperatures, hundreds of thousands of Americans marched in our 
Nation's Capital in support of the unborn and the value of life. Today, 
it is our turn.
  It is our turn to stand for life by supporting H.R. 7, the No 
Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act. This bill would ban the use of 
taxpayer dollars to fund abortions once and for all. The last thing 
pro-life taxpayers should be required to do is subsidize unethical 
practices. It is their money, and you better believe I will fight for 
them to have a say in how it is spent.
  Enough is enough.
  Madam Speaker, today, this isn't just what Republicans want. 
According to multiple polls, the majority of Americans oppose the use 
of Federal funding for abortions. This is what the American people 
want, and it is time folks in Washington listened. Remember, we work 
for them.
  Let's stand for life. It is the right and just thing to do.
