Keep Government Out of Your Doctor's Office
Mr. LIEU. Madam Speaker, abortion is a highly and deeply personal
decision.
It is very complicated. You have dramatic effects for the family, for
the woman. It can have health effects.
Some pregnancies are fine in the first month, and then they are not
fine in the fourth month for medical reasons.
Some pregnancies are the result of rape or incest.
Some religions support abortion. Some religions oppose abortion.
This is a very complicated issue, very personal, and it is exactly
the wrong issue for government.
Republicans want to criminalize abortion. Keep government out of your
doctor's office.
Democrats support Roe v. Wade. I urge the American people that if
they want to have Roe v. Wade upheld, they cast their vote at the
ballot box this November.
Democrats' Accomplishments
Mr. LIEU. Madam Speaker, under the American Rescue Plan, we created
jobs, we got vaccines into people's arms, we reopened schools, and we
helped get the economy back on track.
In the first 15 months of the Biden Presidency, over 8.5 million jobs
were created, the most in American history.
Democrats are for the people, and we put people over politics.
We also passed an infrastructure law that is going to rebuild roads,
bridges, and highways, get lead out of water, and put broadband
everywhere, from rural areas to inner cities to everywhere in between.
What are Republicans doing? I don't know, but I know a number of
Republican Members of Congress sought a pardon from the White House for
inciting an insurrection.
National Foster Youth Shadow Day
Mr. LIEU. Madam Speaker, today is one of my favorite days in Congress
because it is National Foster Youth Shadow Day.
I have a foster youth shadowing me. His name is Joseph Mariscal. He
just graduated from community college, and now he is going to go to Cal
State LA. He is watching how Congress works.
He has overcome so many obstacles, and because of the amazing things
he has done to overcome his obstacles, I am confident he can do
anything he wants in his future.
I thank Karen Bass and other members of the National Foster Youth
Institute for all they do for our foster youth and for having this
shadow day today.
