Deciding whether and when to have a child is a deeply personal decision. It should not be made by politicians, and it certainly should not be made by anti-choice extremists. The biased, anti-choice efforts underpinning these two bills will…

the president’s move a gross abuse of power.

Let there be peace on Earth, and let it begin with me. Madam Speaker, like many of you, I grew up singing that song. We sang it at camp, on holidays, and in school. It has no genre. It has been performed by country, soul, gospel, and Latin…
