I rise on this day after a week of chaos and confusion following the Supreme Court's decision to allow mifepristone's status to remain as it has been: approved and accessible. Let me be clear. The fight is not over. The Supreme Court needs to do its job and reject this ridiculous effort to thrust unjustified grudges into the FDA approval process and further limit access to abortion. Women deserve safe and fair access to medication when they need it. Women deserve to have medication without interference from judges and politicians. Women must be treated as equals and have agency over our bodies and our lives. Mr. Speaker, mifepristone's approval is still in jeopardy. The Supreme Court Justices should keep their bans off our bodies. Access to this medication must be protected. Our rights must be protected. This fight is not over, and we will never concede. ____________________
