                    FIGHTING FOR REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS

  (Ms. BROWNLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Ms. BROWNLEY. Madam Speaker, recently the Supreme Court took an 
unprecedented, deeply disappointing, and ideologically driven action to 
overturn Roe v. Wade.
  This is a targeted attack on Americans' rights to make decisions for 
their bodies, their lives, and their future.
  This decision sets a very dangerous precedent for our Nation's 
highest court and is the result of a premeditated agenda from radical 
conservatives to dismantle access to comprehensive reproductive care.
  The decision to have an abortion is a deeply personal one, one that 
should be made between a patient and their doctor, not by politically 
motivated judges or politicians.
  Roe offered Americans protections from the unsolicited belief systems 
and the ideologies of others being imposed on them and their personal 
healthcare decisions.
  I am committed to continuing to work alongside House Democrats and 
President Biden in the fight for reproductive freedom and reproductive 
justice and the right to abortion across the United States.
