Political Quotes

“This extremist bill undermines women's access to healthcare. That is unacceptable, and it is, frankly, not what I was sent here to work on. I will be voting ``no.'' The evidence is clear. In States with less access to care, maternal mortality is higher, infant deaths are higher, and racial inequities are greater. These restrictions also make it harder for expectant mothers to receive the care they need in pregnancies with complications. It is nonsense that my daughters have less rights than I did at their age. It is nonsense that we have had to decide with them where to live and where to go to school based on where they have rights. It is nonsense that my daughters are less safe because of government interference in their healthcare. It is time that House Republicans put aside this foolishness and start focusing on real issues, like eliminating maternal mortality and increasing rural access to healthcare, like lowering costs and creating good jobs, like working across the aisle to deliver real results for real people.”
