John Ensign: “What my amendment now does is create money so we will be able to enforce the Child Custody Protection Act when we enact…”

On the recordMarch 13, 2008
What my amendment now does is create money so we will be able to enforce the Child Custody Protection Act when we enact that law. Around here, as I said before, too many times we enact laws, we authorize things, and we do not fund them. This is going to set up funding so the Child Custody Protection Act--the law that says we are going to protect young children from being taken across State lines to have a surgical procedure, a surgical abortion--we are going to make sure those people are protected.
