Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the efforts by House Democrats to protect women from the extreme Republican antiwomen agenda. I say to my colleagues that Republicans across our Nation seek to criminalize abortion nationwide with no exceptions, not for rape, not for incest, and they are very determined. But while they seek to control women and their personal choices, President Biden and House Democrats firmly stand with women. We trust women. Just last Friday, President Biden signed an executive order aimed at protecting access to reproductive health services. This week, House Democrats are passing legislation to protect a woman's ability to travel freely and voluntarily throughout the United States, including for reproductive health. We trust women because that is who we are as Democrats. We are the party that stands by women and their human rights. We trust women. ____________________
