The demographic trends are not working in Israel's favor. And it just seems to me that time is on the side of the Palestinians.

I think it is a bipartisan desire here to see Israel with secure borders that endures a democratic and Jewish state.

This is such a contentious Congress, we fight about everything. I think it is very important that there is one thing we do not fight about, the peace and security of Israel.

I want to thank Mr. Poe and Ms. Jackson Lee for leading this debate today. And, of course, I want to thank Susan Brooks, my co-chair of the Congressional Caucus for Women's Issues, for her support. This is an example of bipartisanship at…

I stand here to oppose this deadly legislation being proposed by my colleagues on the other side of the aisle. When I was 15 years old--and that was in the days before abortion was legal--I found a friend bleeding to death because of a…

My, my, my, here we go again, Republicans playing politics with deeply personal healthcare decisions that belong between women and their physicians. The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act is not going to save lives. It is going…

I want to be assured that this bureau is going to be able to access all of those areas.

And my concern is that there seems to be an obsession on the Republican side and our President with abortion.

And I want to pick up on the weak health systems. All which lead to terrorism and the recruitment of especially young men to be terrorists.

My concerns that I want to talk to you about today is the impact on the women of the world... with some of the current action or inaction of the State Department.

This Congress, with a unanimous voice vote, passed a resolution that mandates antisexual harassment training for Members and staff. Of course, it is about time. But here is the thing, Mr. Speaker: it is pitiful and embarrassing that a…

First I want to thank my colleagues and all those ``me too'' survivors who bravely come forward to tell their stories of sexual harassment. Imagine you are a young congressional staffer who eagerly comes to Washington to make the world a…

In my opinion, he is a looney tune.

I would like to know, what do you think are the implications, if any, of our President not recognizing or I think denying Russian interference with our election, despite the fact that our intelligence community unanimously has said there…

I stand against Republican efforts to give massive tax cuts to the wealthiest citizens and big corporations while robbing the pockets of middle class families and ransacking Medicare and Medicaid. My constituents are worried. Just ask…

I thank the chairman for the bipartisan leadership of this committee. Mr. Speaker, this week marks the 34th anniversary of the devastating Marine Corps barracks bombing in Lebanon. As the very proud mother of a U.S. marine, this is deeply…

Today I rise for Donna. This is her story: She said it was a miracle. At age 41, she was finally pregnant. Early blood tests and ultrasound showed a healthy fetus. Donna was filled with the joy of an expectant mother. Then tragedy struck…

I thank my colleague and the leaders of our comittee for their bipartisan efforts. It is very appreciated. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of this bipartisan legislation that directs the State Department and USAID to support programs and…

There is no reorganization in the State Department that is a substitute for enabling women around this world to be in control of their own bodies and to have reproductive health.

It doesn't make sense to me that before you reorganize or go through this process that there would be a suggestion of a one-third cut in the budget.

I believe that the actions that this administration has taken is systematically going to add great suffering to women and families around the globe.

I was unable to vote on rollcall Nos. 494 and 495. Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall No. 494 and ``yea'' on rollcall No. 495. Amendment No. 117 Offered by Ms. Norton The Acting CHAIR. The unfinished business is the…

My, my, my. Here we go again. Another bill to protect the derrieres of big business, allowing them to hide crucial data from public scrutiny, information that would disclose pay disparities in the workplace. It is a law, Mr. Chairman, that…

This bill inexplicably defunds UN Women. What is UN Women? UN Women was created by the United Nations in 2010 to direct activities on gender equality issues. The organization helps meet the most urgent needs of women and girls by…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 889, line 6, after the dollar amount, insert ``(increased by $8,500,000)''. Page 898, line 9, after…
