This bill bans all abortions where a fetal heartbeat is detectable, which means as a practical matter it would ban abortion after just 6 weeks of gestation. This is patently unconstitutional.

It is a sure sign of House Republicans' misplaced priorities and their failing agenda when they turn yet again to attacking women's right to choose.

H.R. 490 is a direct attack on that right.

A woman's constitutional right to choose to terminate a pre-viability pregnancy--which the Supreme Court established in Roe v. Wade, 1973, and which it has consistently reaffirmed, including as recently as last year--is a fundamental…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 3, line 11, insert after ``settlement agreement'' the following: ``(except as provided in subsection…

Mr. Pascrell will go into this in some detail. But we held hearings on this, and we didn't have any support from the other side of the aisle when we pointed out all of the abuses that were going on in New Jersey, Mr. Chairman, with…

You have got a minority report you are putting in which cites lists of abuses; is that correct?

I thank the gentleman for yielding. The bottom line is, this bill is unconstitutional, an attack on women's rights, an attack on the Constitution, and we should be looking at changes in our laws about guns and violence, at least mental…

What can you do or do you think you can do to influence the administration and/or Congress to put those monies back to the levels they were at?

I am a big fan of Amtrak, Mr. Moorman, from when I was--I guess it is a nostalgic thing, but it is also--it is a nice way to travel.

I hope he will understand that we would not only like to get that station improved.

We can see Arkansas from our patios.

I claim the time in opposition to the amendment, even though I am not opposed to it. The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman from Tennessee is recognized for 5 minutes. There was no objection.

I understand Mr. Culberson's position and look forward to his help with legal services that will help juveniles, too.

As the designee of the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Jackson Lee), I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 282, line 11, after the dollar…

I thank Mr. Culberson for his help, and Mrs. Brooks for her leadership. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time, and I withdraw the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. The amendment is withdrawn. The Chair understands that amendment No…

I thank the gentleman from Pennsylvania for his help. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from New York (Mr. Serrano), the ranking member of the Appropriations Subcommittee. Mr. Serrano has helped me on other amendments as well…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 277, line 4, after the dollar amount, insert ``(reduced by $10,000,000)''. Page 320, line 7, after the…

I passed a seatbelt law in Tennessee 15 years ago.

Dollars shouldn't be the issue with our precious cargo.

I want to thank you, the chairman, and the ranking member, who is not here, Mr. DeFazio, for taking into consideration a request...

I thank Mr. Goodlatte for his honest testimony and submitting it. For that reason, among others, I will be voting ``no'' on this amendment, and I hope that it will be found to be ``no'' by the Chair. Because when the chairman of the…

I claim the time in opposition to my friend's misguided amendment. The Acting CHAIR (Mr. Collins of Georgia). The gentleman from Tennessee is recognized for 5 minutes.
