OPPOSITION TO THE PAIN-CAPABLE UNBORN CHILD PROTECTION ACT
(Ms. FRANKEL of Florida asked and was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. FRANKEL of Florida. Mr. Speaker, my, my, my; talk about pain.
There's lots of pain in our country--mothers and fathers are out of
work, losing homes, bills piling up--but here we go again: another day
in Congress being squandered as we fight once more about women having
access to the medical care we need, free from the long, invasive arm of
government. And again, there's a cruel unconstitutional twist. Under
the newly minted H.R. 1797, a woman in desperate need of a physician
must instead call the police.
Mr. Speaker, the American people know that there's a better way to
protect life. Allow women to have access to the health care that we
require to live full lives, and let's work together in a bipartisan
manner to get people back to work in this country.
