Lois Frankel: “My, my, my; talk about pain. There's lots of pain in our country--mothers and fathers are out of work, losing homes…”

My, my, my; talk about pain. There's lots of pain in our country--mothers and fathers are out of work, losing homes, bills piling up--but here we go again: another day in Congress being squandered as we fight once more about women having access to the medical care we need, free from the long, invasive arm of government. And again, there's a cruel unconstitutional twist. Under the newly minted H.R. 1797, a woman in desperate need of a physician must instead call the police. Mr. Speaker, the American people know that there's a better way to protect life. Allow women to have access to the health care that we require to live full lives, and let's work together in a bipartisan manner to get people back to work in this country. ____________________
