Watch C-SPAN between 6-7p* EST tonight.

When the U.S. House completes business, Rep. Chris Smith will host a 1-hour Pro-life Special Order in the House of Representatives.

During this time House members will speak on the subject of taxpayer subsidies for the abortion industry and what their constituents are unknowingly supporting when millions of tax dollars are funneled to organizations like Planned Parenthood.

What is Special Order?

The first 2 hours at the end of legislative business each day are reserved for Republican and Democrat leadership for Special Order business. Tonight the Republican leadership has given its hour to Smith and others to speak for the unborn. It was kept quiet until now to ward off PP types from crashing the event.

*The Special Order should start very soon after the last series of votes. The timing cannot be predicted exactly but will begin sometime between 6 and 7 pm.

how exciting. I'll make some popcorn.

could somebody record this? I'd like to watch how our elected "leaders" tackle this issue..

Elected leaders tackling an issue? Don't hold your breath. They do these special order speeches all the time. No one attends, no one watches, no one cares.

Jill says: "It was kept quiet until now to ward off PP types from crashing the event."

Too bad the event couldn't be kept quiet from Hal.

Like the "PP types" don't have better things to do on a fine summer evening.

Hmmm...what qualifies as a PP type?

Man, is this Special Order excellent! Hope people are watching.

Jill, Do you know if/when it will replay tomorrow?

Janet, I don't know about that, but I understand YouTube clips are coming.

I love Chris Smith. I will never forget the year he stood in front of the Supreme Court for Hours with a broken foot after the March for life to support those of us witnessing at the Silent No More.

He has been a courageous pro life voice...

Cannot wait to hear how it went
