                         SUPPORT EACH WOMAN ACT

  (Mr. QUIGLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Speaker, for the past 40 years, antichoice 
politicians have convinced Congress to maintain Hyde amendment language 
while pushing for restricting access even further.
  For four decades, the Hyde amendment has denied too many women their 
constitutional right to choose by prohibiting the use of Federal funds 
to pay for abortion services. The fact that
this restriction discriminates against women with limited resources at 
the very time in which they need the support the most is 
unconscionable.
  We have had enough of letting the majority restrict access to 
abortion services when the majority of Americans support a woman's 
right to choose. It is time to change course.
  The EACH Woman Act ensures health coverage of these services for 
every woman, no matter how much she earns, how she is insured, or where 
she lives.
  I urge my colleagues to be bold, end Hyde, and support the EACH Woman 
Act.
