MAKING FAMILY PLANNING CLINICS SECURE
(Mrs. SCHROEDER asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Mrs. SCHROEDER. Mr. Speaker, a little later this morning we will be
having a press conference in which I will call upon Attorney General
Janet
[[Page H133]] Reno to please give to the Judiciary Committee as rapidly
as possible the findings from the task force she has set up as to what
we can do to make women's lives much more secure as they attend family
planning clinics. People forget that women get all of their health care
almost from family planning clinics during their reproductive years,
and the domestic terrorism that has been going on is absolutely
unacceptable.
The people saying that if women want this they have to go out and
hire private armies to secure it is ridiculous. This Constitution
guarantees equal protection of the law. It never says you get your
constitutional rights only if you can hire an army to enforce it for
you. That is what the Federal Government is there for.
So I certainly hope that we can get those recommendations back from
our law enforcement community and we can move on it.
