“I once again state that the failure of not being able to pass a timely budget lies at the feet of the Republican Party. They have refused to come to the table with actual fair negotiations. If my colleagues across the aisle want to have a debate on a woman's right to choose what to do with their bodies, then I would welcome that. I would also welcome a debate on issues like gun violence. If we care about life and we say that we are pro-life, we should be pro-life for everyone, including our high school students that are suffering every single day at the hands of the failure of this Republican Party to come to the table. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.”
