The need to pass this legislation I believe is self-evident when we think about the extraordinary subsidies, both direct and indirect, in the 'Patient Protection Affordable Care Act' for abortion across government spending.

President Obama has urged Americans to find common ground on the controversial issue of abortion.

It is axiomatic that when government subsidizes conduct, it encourages it.

Abraham Lincoln called upon all of us to remember America's Founding Fathers and, 'Their enlightened belief that nothing stamped with the divine image and likeness was sent into the world to be trodden on or degraded and imbruted by its…

Thomas Jefferson said that the care of human life and its happiness and not its destruction is the chief and only object of good government.

This legislation is really about whether the role of America's government is to continue to fund a practice that takes the lives of over 1 million little Americans every year.

The REINS Act is needed to reduce the cost of the flood of regulations, free up businesses to create jobs, and make the Federal Government more accountable.

The Obama administration has under consideration at least 183 regulations that each would impose costs of $100 million or more on the economy.

I say tough. I am glad you are there. Fly that flag. Fly it proud and fly it long. I especially appreciate the statement made by Mr. Poe about the sound of that flag. My flag is on a flagpole about that same height, 20 foot. I step out my…

And I would ask the gentleman from Missouri if he would mind sticking around here for a seamless transition into this dialogue. And I appreciate being recognized to address you here on the floor of the House. It is always my privilege. And…

And if I would say that if he was sitting in Germany in 1893 planning his trip here in 1894, thinking he was faced with tax policy that would confiscate his life's earnings and pass it back to the government and distribute it to the people…

I believe in an immigration policy that is designed to enhance the economic, the social, and the cultural well-being of the United States of America. This immigration policy is for America. We can't relieve all of the poverty in the world…

I reflect upon a trip that I made down to Guantanamo Bay... they had already released those that could be released. And the rest of them were a danger to Americans, a danger to free people everywhere, and a danger if they were released to…

We had to go look this up and try to figure out anybody could hypervigilant over calling the president a very urban, actually, a very, very urban president.

I voted for a bill that put a $100 million cap on this thing.

Well, I have sat on the Judiciary Committee for eight years. I sat through slavery reparation hearings that were held by Chairman John Conyers, and, of course, through the hearings here on the Pigford farms claims.

We have got to stand up at some point and say, we're not going to pay slavery reparations in the United States Congress. That war's been fought. That was over a century ago. That debt was paid for in blood, and it was paid for in the blood…

Figure this out, Madam Speaker, we have a very, very urban Senator Barack Obama, who has decided he's going to run for president and what does he do? He introduces legislation to create a whole new Pigford claim.

We are a grateful Nation, and I know that we will have a lot to be thankful for in the King household, as does America have a lot to be thankful for.

I believe that there is a misunderstanding on the part of the American people of the magnitude of the border problem that we have. I make a number of trips down to that border. I think it's my obligation to do that. I have served on the…

I rise to honor an American hero, Staff Sergeant Salvatore Giunta. He is of the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team from Hiawatha, Iowa. He will be presented with the Medal on November 16, tomorrow, at the White House by the President for…

Why would you hire the person who had sued you and received the highest settlement to then go to work for you? That seems odd to me, more than odd, and I think we should take a look at it.

I want the well shut off. I want it cleaned up. But I want to know what went wrong. And the President has frozen and issued an order to stop all drilling offshore for 6 months.
