BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. BABIN. Madam Speaker, I rise in strong support of H.R. 7, the No
Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act. It is plain wrong to use America's
hard-earned tax dollars to pay for abortions.

On September 9, 2009, President Obama told the joint session of
Congress:

One more misunderstanding I want to clear up--under our plan, no
Federal dollars will be used to fund abortions, and Federal conscience laws will remain in place.

Those of us in the pro-life community knew that this was simply not
the case, and last September, the Government Accountability Office
confirmed that, under ObamaCare, abortions are being paid for with
taxpayer funds by more than 1,000 ObamaCare exchange plans across the
country.

Our bill ends taxpayer funding for abortion, fulfilling one of the
promises that this President has broken. Let's pass this bill and end
the largest expansion of taxpayer-funded abortion in American history.
