Wayne Allard: “On the Allard amendment, it will codify the current unborn child rule by amending the SCHIP reauthorization reserve…”

On the recordMarch 13, 2008
On the Allard amendment, it will codify the current unborn child rule by amending the SCHIP reauthorization reserve fund. Many States' definition of coverage for a pregnant woman leads to the strange legal fiction that the adult pregnant woman is a child. This amendment will clarify in statute that the term ``child'' includes the period from conception to birth and will not include a pregnant woman in the definition of a child. I ask for an ``aye'' vote. This is a pro-life vote.
