Yes, I do. I have 1,200 farms. The other thing is, I have people in those areas who don't have cars. There are not buses and things like that, so again, they don't have the transportation or the means even to get out to go to, let's say, a…

Right. That would be devastating for our community for that to happen. When I think about my district, which is urban, suburban, and rural--

I think mental health gets put on the back burner, that people will talk about, ``Oh, my arm hurts,'' or this hurts, or that hurts, but they don't want to say, ``I am depressed,'' or ``I am down,'' or ``I need counseling.'' I sometimes…

Yes, we would have done whatever we could to protect our daughter, regardless of governmental intrusion.

In the wake of many draconian measures, my own state of Illinois recently signed into a law a bill to protect abortion access for our residents.

Women are and should be in charge of their reproductive health.

It is to be noted that to be pro-life includes supporting the health of pregnant women.

The timing and the similarities of this multistate campaign reveal a purely political strategy to energize and motivate the religious right.

In my exam room, abortion is not political. It is simply healthcare.

This obsession with abortion has not only proven detrimental to our patients, but it has lasting effects on the health of an entire community.

Governor Parson and Director Williams have repeatedly violated the trust of our community and compromised my patients' safety, all to push a political agenda.

So where is the compassion once you are born? That is the question I have?

We have not been able to get a gun violence prevention bill passed because we don't have the same basic compassion once the unborn fetus becomes a baby.

I am very proud that my state of Illinois is an oasis in the sand, very proud that we are a shining light in the dark.

My Republican colleagues have suggested that earlier restrictions on abortion have become necessary because advances in medicine are moving the point of viability earlier and earlier.

Do you think there are certain groups that these, whoever, go after more than others, or is it equal across the board, or is it like seniors or children?

So when you talk about the U.S. SAFE WEB Act, it doesn't just protect consumers from traditional cases of fraud and deception, but as you said, also threats to privacy and children's privacy also?

I just want to remind my colleague from Kentucky that, yes, Lincoln was born in Kentucky, but his library is in--his museum is in Springfield, Illinois.

It has been a true pleasure working with Ranking Member McMorris Rodgers on the SAFE WEB Act.

H.R. 4779 is an important bipartisan bill that will allow the FTC to continue international cooperation for investigations of fraud and abuse.

Thank you, Chairwoman Schakowsky, for holding this legislative hearing on H.R. 4779, the SAFE WEB Act, and H.R. 3851, Reauthorizing Brand USA.

The intended purpose of Section 230 was to allow companies to moderate content under the Good Samaritan provision, and yet this law seems to be widely misapplied.

This is personal for me, too, because my son was a smoker and he vapes.

Not only is the youth tobacco epidemic a crisis, but predatory practices have led to severe disparities in health outcomes, including increased rates of various morbidities such as lung cancer and heart attacks among minority populations.

Because of this, I am invested in working to improve the health of all communities and reducing health disparities, especially for vulnerable and minority populations.
