Political Quotes

“I stand today in support of the Women's Health Protection Act. New Mexico is a border State with Texas. Because of the draconian Texas abortion ban, Texas women are driving hours to receive reproductive healthcare in New Mexico. We are receiving women's rights refugees, our Texas sisters, with open arms, open hearts, and open clinics. New Mexico knows that a woman's freedom to make difficult health decisions belongs to her alone. In contrast, Texas politicians deputized complete strangers to interfere with her health choices. Texas' abortion ban falls most heavily on minority, LGBTQ, and low- income communities who can't afford to travel or access quality healthcare. I trust in the wisdom of my House colleagues, who, in passing the Women's Health Protection Act, are standing with the women of this country in every State. ____________________”
