                  MARKING ROE V. WADE 47TH ANNIVERSARY

  (Ms. SPEIER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. SPEIER. Mr. Speaker, in honor of the 47th anniversary of Roe v. 
Wade on January 22, I rise for the 1-in-4 women in America who have had 
an abortion, and the 1-in-3 women living in a State where abortion 
would be banned if Roe was overturned.
  On March 4, the Supreme Court will hear June Medical Services v. Gee. 
The Louisiana law requiring admitting privileges would leave just one 
clinic open and one physician to provide all the abortions in 
Louisiana.
  Although Roe is the law of the land, 27 States impose waiting 
periods, 12 ban private insurance coverage, 18 mandate counseling, and 
43 have abortion-ban laws ready to go.
  Mr. Speaker, to those waging war on the rights of women, next week is 
the anniversary of the Women's March. We have seen the power women 
wield when they march to the ballot box. Get ready for 2020 because we 
are not going back.
