                 THE RIGHT TO ABORTION IS UNDER ATTACK

  (Ms. BONAMICI asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. BONAMICI. Madam Speaker, I rise in strong support of the Women's 
Health Protection Act because the right to abortion, a right grounded 
in privacy, is under attack.
  When people have the freedom to make their own personal decisions 
about whether and when to become a parent, they are more likely to 
attain their educational goals, maintain job mobility, achieve economic 
security. But unfortunately, politicians in many States, and in this 
very body, want to invade privacy and deny autonomy.
  We cannot take the right to choose for granted. I urge passage of 
this vital legislation because we refuse to be dragged back to the 
dangerous days before Roe v. Wade. I urge everyone to support the 
Women's Health Protection Act.
