        SUPPORTING THE PAIN-CAPABLE UNBORN CHILD PROTECTION ACT

  (Mr. MARCHANT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. MARCHANT. Mr. Speaker, I rise to applaud the passage of H.R. 36, 
the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. This legislation, which I 
cosponsored and voted for yesterday, will help protect unborn children 
by limiting abortion after 5 months, the point at which they can 
experience pain.
  This is not a divisive concept. In fact, the majority of Americans 
support limiting abortion after 5 months. It is a fundamental issue of 
human rights and dignity.
  I urge my colleagues in the Senate to pass the House Pain-Capable 
Unborn Child Protection Act and join us in protecting the right of 
life, without which all other rights are impossible.
