I know our time is short. I just want to say that this bill signifies our staunch support for life, and in spite of what has all been said, it just simply prevents taxpayer funds from being used to pay for abortions. For years our government has had a patchwork approach to this issue. However, this bill, H.R. 7, would create a clear and unified policy across all Federal agencies. Our Founding Fathers set forth in the Declaration of Independence ``that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights.'' One of those unalienable rights is life. Therefore, it follows that the right to life of each human being should be preserved and protected. Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this bill. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentlewoman from Tennessee has expired. Ms. DeGETTE. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from New York (Mr. Nadler), an activist on this issue. (Mr. NADLER asked and was given permission to revise and extend his remarks.)
