Political Quotes

On the recordJanuary 11, 2023
Mr. Speaker, last week, House Republicans sadly displayed their incoherent and chaotic approach toward governing in this country. But when it comes to ripping away the reproductive rights and freedoms of women across the country, my colleagues on the other side of the aisle have never been more united. Despite the many immediate challenges facing our country, their priority was to criminalize abortion care and to put the health of women at risk. The party that claims they want government out of our lives could not move more quickly to put the government and politicians in charge of one of the most personal decisions a woman can ever make. Listening to my colleagues pontificate about the sanctity of life while attempting to take away life-saving healthcare for millions of women is appalling. I am proud to stand with House Democrats to continue to fight for reproductive freedom and reproductive justice and the right to abortion across the United States. ____________________
