So, basically, contraceptive services--I am not talking abortion--contraceptive services are being cut off.

The global gag rule has been expanded to not--again, this is not--we are not talking about the Federal funding of abortion.

If I really had my way I would be yelling and screaming because--and not at you, yet.

We've heard a lot in this committee about the undeniable link between the treatment of women and global peace and security.

Advancing women's economic equality toward parity with men could add trillions, and I mean trillions and trillions of dollars to the global GDP in just 7 years.

If women, who account for half the world's working-age population, do not achieve their full economic potential the global economy will suffer.

I thank you for your sponsorship of H.R. 5105, the BUILD Act of 2018.

I know we all agree, everybody, that Iran should never get a nuclear weapon, and there's no conflict between believing that and those of us who agree that the deal was flawed.

If you translate that out, that would be $4 million. As I said, the President's safety is paramount, and the impact to the local business is a problem. So there is a provision in this amendment that requires the FAA to study the economic…

It's not like it was a surprise. The President tweeted this out days before.

I think the President should have come to this Congress for a military authorization before these air strikes.

This inconsistency is not very helpful.

I am distraught by what I see as our President's misogynist policy and back-stepping policy on women's health.

I agree with the generals and our chairman, who say we cannot bomb our way into peace.

Ignoring half of the population in the fight against radicalism leaves us with a strategic blind spot.

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 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…
