Patricia Schroeder: “I hope the gentlewoman looks at what we did do in committee. One of the good things we did was we had added language…”

On the recordFebruary 14, 1995
I hope the gentlewoman looks at what we did do in committee. One of the good things we did was we had added language that would allow money to go to help with domestic violence, violence against women, and so forth, but we did not do this specifically. The thing that I worry about is when you look at that map, what we need is a clear message to localities to make them feel empowered to move on this. So I really think that we listed everything, except we did not want to say the women's reproductive health care clinics. That was not listed specifically, and that is all we are trying to do in here, is give it the same leverage we are giving everything else. So I think you will find most of the things that you listed would be covered. We just want this one to be specifically listed, because it is a Federal right and it did seem to be ignored.
