                         RECOGNIZING JANE ORANS

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. NITA M. LOWEY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 26, 2016

  Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Jane Orans, who is being 
honored by Planned Parenthood Hudson Peconic for her work on behalf of 
women and children throughout Westchester County, New York, and the 
Hudson River Valley.
  Jane has dedicated herself to advocating on behalf of women's health 
so that every woman has the right to determine her own healthy timing 
and spacing of pregnancy. It is for this reason that she has been so 
involved in Planned Parenthood Hudson Peconic. Her tireless work with 
the organization has helped empower women, men and young people to 
determine their own reproductive rights and futures.
  In addition to her work with Planned Parenthood Hudson Peconic, Jane 
has spent much of her life educating children. She was a nursery school 
teacher and for fourteen years was a member of the Mamaroneck, New York 
School Board. In this capacity, she has worked hard to ensure children 
have the necessary support to become healthy, successful adults.
  Mr. Speaker, Jane's tireless advocacy on behalf of women's health is 
an inspiration to us all, and I urge my colleagues to join me in 
applauding her work and her recognition by Planned Parenthood Hudson 
Peconic.
