- I rise in opposition. Mr. Chairman, the provision in the bill that this amendment seeks to strike, Mr. Chairman, does one thing only. It prohibits Federal tax dollars from paying for abortions for Federal prison inmates, except in the case of rape or the life of the mother. This is a longstanding provision, one that has been carried in 10 of the last 11 Commerce-Justice-State and Judiciary appropriation bills. The House has consistently rejected this amendment, this very amendment to last year's appropriations bill by a vote of 148 to 271; in fiscal year 1998, by 155 to 264; 2 years ago by a voice vote; and 3 years ago, by a vote of 146 to 281. It has been consistent, the House has, in rejecting this amendment. Time and again Congress has debated this issue of whether Federal tax dollars should pay for an abortion. The answer has been no. I urge a no vote again.3 sources1999govinfo.gov

This bill gets us back to being within some degree of reason.2 sources2011govinfo.gov
