Political Quotes

“44 years ago this week, the Supreme Court ruled in Roe v. Wade in favor of a woman's right to make her own decisions about her own body. It is outrageous that today, more than four decades later, President Trump and my Republican colleagues have made restricting choice their first order of business. Yesterday, President Trump signed an executive order banning health organizations that receive U.S. funding from even mentioning abortion as a medical option for their patients. And today, this House is launching a radical assault on women's health care that penalizes women and small businesses that choose private health insurance plans that cover abortion services. The effect of these unprecedented restrictions is clear: restricting the comprehensive health coverage available for women. Terminating a pregnancy is a personal choice that should be a woman's alone, made in consultation with her family and her physician. Politicians have no role in this process. I urge my colleagues to end this backward attack on women's rights and start tackling the real challenges voters sent us here to address. ____________________”
