On the recordNovember 2, 2017
I thank the gentleman from Iowa for his thoughts. Mr. Speaker, when we learned that Planned Parenthood was selling the tissue of unborn children, America was outraged. Since then, the House has redoubled its effort to pass legislation to protect the unborn. H.R. 7 and H.R. 36 are two important pro-life measures that have passed the House. H.R. 36, which would prevent the killing of unborn children who are developed enough to feel pain, passed the House by 237 votes. This legislation has been sitting in the Senate for 31 days. H.R. 7, which prohibits taxpayer funding for abortion, passed the House by 238 votes. This legislation has been sitting in the Senate for 283 days. I would like to welcome my friend and colleague from Georgia, Representative Jody Hice, to talk about these two important bills and protecting unborn children. I yield to the gentleman from Georgia.
