Political Quotes

On the recordJune 24, 2021
I thank the chair for his friendship and for letting me speak. Madam Speaker, you know, I rise with great enthusiastic support for the Equal Access to Contraception for Veterans Act. No veteran of the United States of America should be forced to pay out of pocket for basic preventative care. You know, this is 2021. Birth control should not be controversial. Veterans' access to healthcare should not be controversial. And I really think, how dare Members on the other side even consider shutting down this bill on suspension. Our veterans deserve access to all of the healthcare services that they need, and that would include every method of birth control. Really? Are we still arguing this? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentlewoman has expired.
