S. 109
Mrs. MURRAY. Mr. President, the fact that the United States is
debating and voting on this bill attacking women's healthcare right now
is an absolute disgrace.
We are 27 days into President Trump's completely unnecessary
government shutdown. Workers are not being paid. Families are huddled
around their tables, wondering which bills to pay and which expenses to
cut. Our national security is being impacted. Our parks are filling up
with trash. Our economy is losing billions of dollars. The list goes
on. It needs to end.
I urge my colleagues, vote no against this bill today that would
erode women's healthcare and take away our constitutionally protected
rights. Demand that Republican leaders let us vote to open the
government, and then let's get back to work getting our country back on
track.
I yield the floor.
