“Madam Speaker, the Republican majority is at it again.

With no real jobs plan, we have seen this majority attempt to thrust on the American people bills that strip them of their rights instead of putting them back to work.

Make no mistake; those proposing this know this extreme bill will not pass the Senate and it will not be signed into law by the President.

This bill at its core is an attack on American women – especially poor women.

Its extreme provisions will jeopardize a women’s access to life saving care.

It is outrageous that this Republican majority continues to focus on protecting subsidies for big oil and tax cuts for billionaires and targeting women and their access to health care.

Instead of working to help create jobs and empower women to improve their lives, the Republican majority is instead trying to pass this bill to allow hospitals to refuse to provide critical life saving care.

That means for women in rural areas that may only have access to one hospital, could be left to die.

This isn’t the time to be putting America’s women at risk; this is the time to be putting them and all Americans back to work.

I encourage my colleagues to vote NO on this extreme bill.”
