The whole notion of why people don't come forward, they don't come forward because they are not believed.

100 percent of the women incarcerated in our women's prison in New Hampshire are survivors of sexual trauma, 100 percent.

I am grateful that the Government Accountability Office is executing my recommendation to investigate this issue in greater depth.

I share the concern of my colleagues, especially Representative Pingree who has been working on this for a long time.

Thank you for your attention to this issue.

This is a national tragedy that the people in uniform that are serving our country, 1 in 3 women are experiencing sexual assault and military violence, a 38 percent increase.

It is not an understatement to say that lives hang in the balance.

I look forward to working with the Committee to examine the study and determine what actions Congress should take to address this situation.

I am shocked. I am stunned actually to hear the statistic that our colleague Representative Underwood has shared today.

I appreciate Mr. Bost. We all want to try to get past this.

I mean how does she get any advice?

I thank the chairman, and I withdraw my amendment. The Acting CHAIR. The amendment is withdrawn. Amendment No. 34 Offered by Ms. Kuster of New Hampshire The Acting CHAIR. It is now in order to consider amendment No. 34 printed in part A of…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 247, line 17, insert ``(increased by $5,000,0000) (reduced by $5,000,000)'' after the dollar amount…

My amendment inadvertently contains a numerical drafting error that would increase spending. Therefore, I ask unanimous consent that my amendment be modified with the form that I have placed at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will…

So my tax dollars, against my will, going to a church without giving the full range of options that any healthcare provider would provide.

So what about the circumstance where they just simply can't afford to have a child?

Right but I am saying she is distressed. She doesn’t remember anything.

They can't afford to have two different sites. So trust me, they are going to close. And there is no other option in my district.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 241, line 13, after the dollar amount, insert ``(increased by $5,333,000)''. Page 245, line 20, after…

So in my--I have a rural community. They would not be able to. They can't afford--this whole question of commingling, and we have heard a number of times today that there is virtually zero evidence.

I think what we are talking about here is breaching the confidentiality and the sacred nature of the conversation between a healthcare provider and their patient.

I think you are adding to the confusion, if you will.

Are you aware that in a rural community where I live there is no childcare up to 6 months?

For the Government to say what that conversation should be is far too much interference.

This would establish a CPSC grant program for States to install carbon monoxide detectors in childcare facilities.
