It is wrong to create government-mandated pregnancies.

But service members do not get to choose where they live. This leaves 230,000 servicewomen who could be ordered to a State that restricts bodily autonomy, jeopardizing our recruitment and retention efforts.

The Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization overturned 50 years of precedent and took away the established constitutional right to an abortion.

Nine children per day that are tragically killed because they were playing with a firearm that was loaded. Correct?

The Protection of Law Commerce in Arms Act, PLCAA has really had the effect of robbing the American people of a mechanism to ensure the gun industry is protecting American consumers.

It is a weapon of war, Mr. Killoy, and no matter how you want to sugar coat it, it decapitates people.

Given that you apparently are knowingly marketing to young people and you know that these young people, in particular, their weapon of choice is the assault weapon, the AR-15, why do you think companies should be shielded from liability if…

Without an assault weapon, the shooter in Highland Park would likely not have inflicted the extreme carnage we experienced.

These weapons were designed to massacre.

I would love to see some consistency on this policy.

I think that, Mr. Chairman, we might need to have a subsequent hearing on this because it is pretty serious.

It wasn't short nor sweet, but I am prepared to close and say this is pretty obvious. This does not take rocket science. All we are doing with this amendment, that is bipartisan and bicameral--maybe the gentleman should talk to Senator…

I think I have said enough, and I will close. I ask for a ``yes'' vote. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.

We deplore violence against crisis pregnancy centers. We deplore violence against justices and judges. We deplore violence against the institution we call the U.S. Capitol. We also deplore violence against abortion clinics.

I have recommended to the President. We should have a summit on women’s autonomy and right to make these decisions on her own.

We’ve got to make it as easy on women as possible.

The Supreme Court now has become a weapon of the far right.

This is the greatest setback for women’s rights in the history of this country. It pains me to think that I have had this right and that my daughter won’t have this right.

I had a procedure at 17 weeks pregnant with a child I lost a baby. But for you to stand on this floor and to suggest as you have that somehow this is a procedure that is either welcomed or done cavalierly or done without any thought is…

Would you put in place a prohibition that nondisclosure agreements cannot be used by the various organizations under the NFL?

So the Carolina Panthers, there was an investigation of them two years before the Commanders investigation.

The survivors have begged you to release that report.

That's not true. You could----

All I am asking my colleagues to do is open your hearts and listen, and I hope we still have enough humanity in this body to do this.

These are the same tired arguments used by the gun lobby to prevent meaningful change after Sandy Hook, after Parkland.
