                           WE CANNOT GO BACK

  (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. Madam Speaker, I rise in outrage at the cruel 
attacks extreme Republicans have launched on women and their rights.
  Because of these MAGA Republicans, our daughters will have less 
freedom than their mothers for the first time in American history.
  This has been their plan all along. As this graphic behind me shows, 
women have been fighting Republican attacks for decades, and it has 
been a tough fight. But House Democrats won't give up. We cannot go 
back. We won't give up because we trust women.
  Today, we will pass two bills to protect women, their rights, and 
their freedoms--the Ensuring Women's Right to Reproductive Freedom Act 
and the Women's Health Protection Act--for the second time.
  Democrats are the party that stand with women. Without them, we 
cannot be a better America. We always have and always will be with 
women. We trust women.
