Political Quotes

“I thank the gentlewoman for her leadership. Madam Speaker, President Trump once said his favorite book is the Bible. I think he is writing a new book for the Bible called the ``Apocalypse of Women.'' It is a reverse Genesis. In the beginning, he divided the country in half with rightwing dog whistles in his inaugural address. On the second day, he ignored millions of people who marched across America and the world. On the third day, he pondered changes to NAFTA and which women's rights to trade away. On the fourth day, he reinstated and expanded the global gag rule, risking women's lives worldwide. Today he and his House mouthpieces are blocking access to domestic reproductive health coverage trumpeting alternative facts about legal abortions that have been somehow prevented, some 2 million of them. Well, prove it. I shudder to think what will happen tomorrow, and I doubt on the seventh day it will be devoted to rest. Madam Speaker, we must fight this madness and oppose H.R. 7.”
