              THE PAIN-CAPABLE UNBORN CHILD PROTECTION ACT

  (Mr. CONAWAY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CONAWAY. Mr. Speaker, this House tomorrow will consider H.R. 36, 
the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, and I will support that 
bill because it protects most of the children in these circumstances. 
But I will do so with a heavy heart because it does not protect all 
children. Every child at 20 weeks and older deserves protection from 
the violence perpetrated on them in the womb by late-term abortions.
  Mr. Speaker, this bill does not protect all children because it gives 
an exception for children conceived in rape and incest. No child 20 
weeks and older should be subjected to that, regardless of the 
circumstances in which they are conceived.
  Mr. Speaker, I encourage my colleagues to work to try to correct that 
injustice as well, and I hope efforts are afoot to make this bill 
perfect in the sense that it would protect every single child 20 weeks 
and older because none of them deserve less.
