                            VOTE EXPLANATION

  Mr. WARNOCK. Madam President, I have a profound reverence for life 
and an abiding respect for choice. I believe a patient's room is too 
small a place for a patient, her doctor, and the Federal Government. 
Healthcare decisions should be made by a patient in consultation with 
their doctor. It is important to me that every person, no matter race, 
gender, creed, or socioeconomic status, has access to affordable 
healthcare. This includes family planning and reproductive services. 
Regretfully, I was unable to cast my vote on the motion to invoke 
cloture on the motion to proceed to Calendar No. 139, H.R. 3755, 
Women's Health Protection Act, on February 28, 2022. Had I been 
present, however, I would have proudly voted yes to invoke cloture on 
the motion to proceed to H.R. 3755.
