Mrs. HARTZLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in solidarity with the 2 million lives saved by the Hyde amendment.

For decades, Presidents of both parties, including Presidents Clinton and Obama, have worked across the aisle to include the Hyde amendment in the Federal budget, which is a temporary protection barring the use of taxpayer funds to pay for abortions.

However, this year, while calling for unity, the President is pushing for a $6 trillion budget with no protections for the unborn or for the taxpayer who will foot the bill. This is an action where everyone loses.

Instead of callously endangering the lives of millions of women and children at taxpayer expense, we should be fighting tooth and nail for their protections.

By making the Hyde amendment permanent, that is exactly what H.R. 18 will do.

18 and ask for its immediate consideration in the House.
