I know that when I stepped out of the room, Mr. Gianforte allowed Ms. Collett to make incorrect claims about the opinions of medical professionals on the importance of abortion access.
I just have to say how much I resent when you say if you really wanted to care about women, you would do something about prenatal care or you would do something about maternal mortality.
We will not go back no matter what is happening in states around the country.
This is about the women who deserve comprehensive reproductive healthcare, all of them.
In fact, every budget President Trump has proposed has cut critical funding for our public schools.
President--I mean we totally disagree on that, as do all the advocates for Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid who are professionals, as well.
Both ACOG, as we have talked about, and the American Medical Association have taken positions against many of these laws because they are not based on medicine and they are not based on good care of patients.
I am proud to be part of the House Democratic majority that will invest in America's health care, environment, and education for years to come.
