If we just go back and we deliver a very small sliver, because the infrastructure bill is only like 15 percent of the President's agenda, 85 percent of the President's agenda is contained in the Build Back Better Act.

The reality is that there is a whole group of people, people who need childcare, people who need paid leave, people who need housing, people who want to see action on climate change. This is all part of the Build Back Better agenda, which…

The problem in American democracy today is that people have lost faith in us, in government, that we actually will fight for working people.

This is the president’s agenda. It’s not some crazy left-wing agenda wish list. It is actually the President’s agenda.

We need to deliver that transformative --

Progressives will vote for both bills but a majority of our members will only vote for the infrastructure bill after the President’s visionary Build Back Better act passes.

He needs to either give us an offer or this whole thing is not going to happen. I can tell you that his statement has just probably created at least a bunch more votes on the House floor against a bipartisan bill.

I will never tell somebody else that they should have abortion because that is their choice. But they don’t get to tell me that I shouldn’t, because at the end of the day, it’s my body, and I get to control it.

4 percent. 4 percent of all the Democrats in the House and the Senate are blocking the build back better act from passing. 96 percent agree with us.

We have been transparent. I talked to the White House regularly. I talked to them today. I talk to the speaker regularly. This is the president`s agenda, and they know that we are actually the ones who have the president`s back.

This isn`t a liberal wish list of things that we wish we could have that nobody agrees with us on. 96 percent of Democrats in the House and the Senate and the president of the United States campaigned on this agenda and now want to deliver…

And we`ve said we will not vote for the bipartisan infrastructure bill until we have a vote in the Senate on the reconciliation bill, because that is absolutely crucial.

Yes, Joy, it`s so great to see you. And, yes, we were not for splitting up the bill in the first place. In fact, we told everyone we knew that that was a bad idea. Because what we didn`t want to do is split roads and bridges against child…

I consulted with my doctors, who told me that any future pregnancy would likely also be high-risk to me and the child, similar to what I had gone through with Janak. I very much wanted to have more children, but I simply could not imagine…

I would never tell people who don't choose to have an abortion that they should do so, nor should they tell me that I shouldn't.

Women are free to make decisions about their lives and bodies in consultation with their families and their physicians, not politicians.

I am pleased to say that Senate Majority Leader Schumer has announced his intention to bring WHPA to the Senate floor for a vote.

Abortion restrictions are part of the intertwined systems of oppression that deny black, indigenous, and people of color their constitutional rights.

Weakening or overturning Roe poses a threat to our fundamental rights to make a personal decision beyond abortion.

My bill, the Women's Health Protection Act, will put a stop to these state-based attacks and enshrine the protections of Roe into law.

We live in a society that has failed to legislate love and justice for us. So we deserve better.

So to all the black women and girls who have had abortions and will have abortions, we have nothing to be ashamed of.

We are not going to leave behind women. We are not going to leave behind people who need housing. We are not going to leave behind climate change.

96 percent of Democrats in the House and the Senate support the president`s agenda, which is the Build Back Better agenda.

We are not going to move one piece of the president`s agenda without the much bigger piece of the president`s agenda.
