“in the month since the Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade, the assault on reproductive rights by anti-choice MAGA Republicans--well, it has been relentless. We have seen and heard the horror stories of women in States that have outlawed abortion. We have seen women and even young girls-- children as young as 10--who were raped and unable to get an abortion in their own States. We have seen examples of States looking to restrict--restrict--a woman's ability to travel to other States-- restrict a woman's ability to travel to other States--to get the medical care, the often lifesaving care, they desperately need. In fact, this is an issue that Republicans in this Chamber objected to when Democrats brought up a bill to guarantee the fundamental right of women to travel in this country in order to seek care. MAGA Republicans--oh, wait. They want to strip women of their freedoms, and they want to strip women of their ability to choose what happens to their own bodies. If MAGA extremists have their way in Congress, they will enact a rigid--a rigid--nationwide abortion ban which will threaten women and their doctors with jail time. Look at what is already happening: Anti-choice States are working to stop women from going to pro-choice States to seek care, and now they are even going after the doctors--after the doctors--in those States, who are simply doing their jobs by taking care of their patients. This is utterly and completely outrageous.…”
