“The chairman said quite a bit there for me to respond to. I simply say with respect to the deficit, here is an article from just 2 days ago, June 24, 2024, in Axios. The headline reads: ``Trump ran up national debt twice as much as Biden: new analysis.'' I will just read the first sentence. ``Former President Trump ran up the national debt by about twice as much as President Biden, according to a new analysis of their fiscal track records.'' Facts are facts, Mr. Speaker. With respect to the previous question, Mr. Speaker, if we defeat the previous question today, I will offer an amendment to the rule that would bring up H.R. 12, a bill that would restore the nationwide right to abortion care. This Monday was the 2-year anniversary of the Dobbs decision, a decision that left millions of women without the reproductive rights and protections provided in Roe v. Wade for decades. It is clear the far right won't stop there. Not only do the bills in this rule, the rule we are considering today, include restrictions on care for our servicemembers, restrictions on care for women and families abroad, restrictions on funding to end maternal deaths, but also, just for the record, an amendment was offered by one of my Republican colleagues to ban IVF treatments for servicemembers. Mr. Speaker, enough is enough.…”
