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, to have a Member from the other side raise that argument when we have specifically pointed to the First Amendment, pointed to page 25 of the bill, which says ``the Religious Freedom Restoration Act will not apply,'' is ridiculous. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from North Carolina (Ms. Foxx).
