Mr. Speaker, I rise today to join millions of American women in condemning Trump's attempt to gut funding for women's health research. The Trump administration has rescinded women's research projects at an alarming rate. These projects include lifesaving research on early breast cancer detection and so much more. Trump even shut down the Women's Health Initiative, our Nation's largest and most consequential women's health study. Millions of women's lives are at stake. That is why I led my Democratic Women's Caucus colleagues in demanding that Trump immediately reverse course. I am relieved to announce that the administration heeded our call and the heartfelt appeals of our constituents and restored this crucial funding. Mr. Speaker, this fight is far from over. The Trump administration is waging a war on science and women. We must stay vigilant, and we will fight back. ____________________
