Joe Crowley: “I yield an additional 30 seconds to the gentleman. Mr. McDERMOTT.…”

On the recordJanuary 28, 2014

I yield an additional 30 seconds to the gentleman. Mr. McDERMOTT. Women's health care is health care. It is not Congress' job to stigmatize legal medical procedures and punish women who use them. It is also not Congress' job to tell Washington, D.C., what to do or to stop people from having their options. This bill is insulting to women, and the Republicans are asking for it in the next election. If anybody votes for you, it is because they haven't paid attention to what you are doing out here today. You are insulting every woman in this country. She can't make her own decision about her health care. I urge you to vote ``no.''
