                   DEMOCRATS STAND FIRMLY WITH WOMEN

  (Ms. GARCIA of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. GARCIA of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the efforts by 
House Democrats to protect women from the extreme Republican antiwomen 
agenda.

[[Page H5948]]

  I say to my colleagues that Republicans across our Nation seek to 
criminalize abortion nationwide with no exceptions, not for rape, not 
for incest, and they are very determined.
  But while they seek to control women and their personal choices, 
President Biden and House Democrats firmly stand with women. We trust 
women.
  Just last Friday, President Biden signed an executive order aimed at 
protecting access to reproductive health services. This week, House 
Democrats are passing legislation to protect a woman's ability to 
travel freely and voluntarily throughout the United States, including 
for reproductive health.
  We trust women because that is who we are as Democrats. We are the 
party that stands by women and their human rights. We trust women.
