On the recordDecember 1, 2016
Madam Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to H. Res. 933. I oppose funding for the select panel to attack and intimidate women's health care. The select panel is a baseless committee formed with no regard to the facts or evidence of this case. In fact, the creators of the purposefully doctored and highly manipulated videos that they consistently bring up that this investigation is based on have been indicted on criminal felony charges, and we should be investigating their legal practices instead. Continuing to fund this panel is a disgrace, and this investigation must cease immediately. Instead of taking action that would improve the lives of women and families across the country, this panel continues to chase baseless allegations. As an emergency physician, I am exceptionally disappointed. The reckless work of the panel puts women's reproductive rights in jeopardy and threatens to undo the progress we have made over the last 40 years. It is also a complete waste of taxpayer money. I stand in strong opposition to this resolution and call on this panel to be disbanded. Let's take real action to improve the health and well-being of this country.
