                                  _____
                                 

                           HON. LOIS FRANKEL

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, January 23, 2013

  Ms. FRANKEL of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mona Reis, 
a courageous advocate for women's reproductive freedom. Ms. Reis runs 
the Presidential Women's Center in West Palm Beach, Florida which has 
provided quality individualized health care for thousands of women 
since its founding in 1980. Without this exceptional resource, many 
women in South Florida would go without needed wellness and 
reproductive health care services.
  Today, as we commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the Supreme Court's 
landmark Roe v. Wade decision, which affirmed a woman's right to 
reproductive choice, I thank Mona Reis for her compassionate, 
dedicated, and unrelenting pursuit of women's reproductive freedom.
