Ayanna Pressley

Treatment for ectopic pregnancy requires ending a non-viable pregnancy.

This hearing is an opportunity for quality public health education that prioritizes equity and justice in reproductive healthcare.

It seems that there is a deficit in your understanding of reproductive health.

This is unsustainable, and our most-vulnerable constituents are drowning financially because they cannot afford these rent increases.

Housing is a fundamental human right, yet across the country and in my district, the Massachusetts 7th, millions of people do not have access to a safe, decent, and affordable place to call home.

Perhaps now is the time to expand the Fed's toolkit to meet the unique moment that we find ourselves in.

But by your own account, you stated on the record that the Fed's current tools are ill-suited to deal with the inflation we are seeing.

Every single life wrought by gun violence matters.

Only in America do we consider arming teachers while failing to pay them a livable wage.

We need resources, not revolvers, in our schools.

It is long past time to treat gun violence as the public health crisis that it is.

If someone shot and killed your child, you would not be sitting here wanting to hear about my constitutional right to own a gun.

The creation of a digital dollar is certainly a hefty responsibility.

I hope Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley's historic legislation to transform our nation's broken clemency system continues.

Now, it is time for Congress to fix it.

I applaud President Biden for granting 78 commutations and pardons last month.

This should ring alarm bells for every lawmaker because it impacts mass incarceration in each and every one of our districts, and it should stoke the moral outrage of everyone who calls this nation home, as this is a shameful legacy.

We need better healthcare for workers that work the hours that they work, and childcare.

We also do need child--I mean, childcare is a huge problem.

We need to put in place for workers to have paid sick time off.

The banks have certainly proven that they can't be expected to voluntarily reform themselves, and so legislative intervention really is sorely needed.

I want to commend you on your work to bring the CFPB back on the side of consumers.

Offering an apology while avoiding responsibility is really worthless. What you have done is unconscionable.

Like the Sackler family in Purdue Pharma, McKinsey & Company, you have been complicit in creating this country's opioid crisis and profiting off of the pain of millions of families.

I will reclaim my time and look forward to that information if you can't provide it here in the committee hearing today.
