Rep. Paul Introduces Three Pro-Life Bills – The following is a statement delivered in the U.S. House of Representatives on April 2, 2003, by Congressman Ron Paul, M.D.
“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to introduce three bills relating to abortion.
“First, the Freedom of Conscience Act of 2003 (H.R. 1548) prohibits any federal official from expending any federal funds for any population control or population planning program or any family planning activity. It is immoral to force the American taxpayers to subsidize programs and practices they find morally abhorrent.
“Second, I rise to introduce the Partial-birth Abortion Funding Ban Act of 2003 (H.R. 1545). This bill prohibits federal officials from paying any federal funds to any individual or entity that performs partial-birth abortions. The taxpayer must not be forced to fund this barbaric procedure.
“Finally, my Life-Protecting Judicial Limitation Act of 2003 (H.R. 1546) provides that the inferior courts of the United States do not have jurisdiction to hear abortion-related cases. Congress must use the authority granted to it in Article 3, Section 1 of the Constitution. The district courts of the United States, as well as the United States Court of Federal Claims, should not have the authority to hear these types of cases.
“Mr. Speaker, it is my hope that my colleagues will join me in support of these three bills. By following the Constitution and using the power granted to the Congress by this document, we can restore freedom of conscience and the sanctity of human life.” [emphasis added]
___________________________________
These bills are pro-active measures that, if enacted, would greatly reduce the power and influence of the abortion lobby in this country and at the same time reduce the number of abortions and abortion-related activities currently funded with our tax dollars.
Please insist that your Member of Congress support Congressman Paul’s efforts by co-sponsoring these three bills. Capitol Switchboard – 202/224-3121.

So have the Republicans passed Ron Paul's bill to withdraw from the UN yet?
Thank you for posting this. The more publicity we can give to the tiny handful of real statesmen that remain at any level of Government in America, today, the better chance we have of seeing their numbers grow.

My EXPECTATION is that the ban on this hideous procedure pass in the House of Representatives very, very soon. It has passed the Senate, which was the question mark. If this doesn't get passed and signed by GWB before summer recess, face it, there will be a litany of excuses. It'll never be as good as it is right now for this to happen.
I would hope that no pro-lifers would give the administration a pass on this one. GWB has said he's pro-life. It's time to step to the plate and get this passed. Every day delay is more dead babies.
