With due respect to my colleague from Florida, the gentleman is incorrect. We have stated it and will offer the language on the previous question. So, as long as we can have the votes to defeat the previous question, we will be able to bring to the floor under the procedures of this body a bill that will ensure that women have access to contraception as part of basic health care. That is under the rules of this House--by defeating the previous question now being discussed and that I will offer--and we will be able to move forward on ensuring that women have access to comprehensive birth control. I yield 2 minutes to the gentlewoman from Florida (Ms. Frankel).
