“earlier today, during debate on the rule for this bill, the gentleman from Georgia who was managing the floor for the majority stated that my amendments to this bill were not germane. I would like the Record to show that the Parliamentarian has advised me that both amendments are in fact germane. Just to be clear, the rules committee did not reject this amendment because it was not germane--it certainly is-- They rejected it, I believe, because they were simply trying to shield Members of Congress from having to go on the record against offering information to rape victims that could help prevent pregnancy or abortion. Again, please let the Record show that my amendments were germane.”
