I would just point out that a few speakers ago, the gentleman from Maryland used the term ``religious garb.'' A physician's conscience, a physician's faith, which compels him or her not to take the life of an unborn child is not religious garb. That is a deeply held position of conscience and position of faith.

Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from North Carolina (Ms. Foxx).
