                                Abortion

  Mrs. MURRAY. Mr. President, I want to start today by saying I am 
really appalled by the extreme, cruel, shameful abortion ban that was 
passed yesterday in Alabama. That legislation is nothing short of an 
attack on women, and it is part of a larger effort we are seeing today 
around the country to take away the constitutional right of women to 
safe, legal abortion and allowing politicians to make decisions for 
women about their bodies, their health, and their lives instead of 
trusting doctors and women.
  I want every woman reading the news this morning and wondering what 
this means for you, your family, and for your granddaughters to know I 
am with you, and I am going to keep fighting for you every step of the 
way.
