Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise in defense of science, freedom, and choice. Two weeks ago, a Trump-appointed judge issued a ruling to suspend the FDA's approval of mifepristone, a safe abortion and miscarriage management medication that has been on the market for more than two decades. This unscientific, partisan judicial decision is the latest move in the ongoing attack on reproductive freedom across the United States. Abortion, including medication abortion, like mifepristone, is still safe and legal in Oregon. But, like so many Oregonians, I am deeply troubled by these attacks, and I refuse to sit idly by as they jeopardize the health and well-being of millions of Americans. I will continue to stand up for those who can get pregnant to ensure mifepristone remains available to all who need it, and to restore the right to choose in all 50 States. Congress can and must intervene. ____________________”
