Madam Speaker, I rise in outrage at the cruel attacks extreme Republicans have launched on women and their rights. Because of these MAGA Republicans, our daughters will have less freedom than their mothers for the first time in American history. This has been their plan all along. As this graphic behind me shows, women have been fighting Republican attacks for decades, and it has been a tough fight. But House Democrats won't give up. We cannot go back. We won't give up because we trust women. Today, we will pass two bills to protect women, their rights, and their freedoms--the Ensuring Women's Right to Reproductive Freedom Act and the Women's Health Protection Act--for the second time. Democrats are the party that stand with women. Without them, we cannot be a better America. We always have and always will be with women. We trust women. ____________________
