   REQUEST TO CONSIDER H.R. 18, NO TAXPAYER FUNDING FOR ABORTION ACT

  (Mr. LAMBORN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LAMBORN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to protect the sanctity of 
human life, especially the lives of the unborn.
  The Hyde amendment has saved nearly 2\1/2\ million lives since its 
first inclusion in an appropriation bill in 1976.
  This historically bipartisan amendment which prohibits the use of 
taxpayer dollars paying for abortion is supported by a majority of 
Americans.
  H.R. 18, of which I am an original cosponsor, codifies the Hyde 
amendment and applies it to all government funding, cementing the 
protections for the most vulnerable Americans. This bill is called the 
No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that the Committees on Energy 
and Commerce, Ways and Means, and the Judiciary be discharged from 
further consideration of H.R. 18, and I ask for its immediate 
consideration in the House.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. As the Chair has previously advised, the 
request cannot be entertained absent appropriate clearance.
