                FIGHTING FOR WOMEN'S REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS

  (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 today in support of House 
Democrats and their efforts today to protect women and their 
fundamental reproductive rights.
  In my home State of Texas, more than 50,000 women had an abortion 
last year. These are women who made an extremely personal and intimate 
healthcare decision based on what is best for them, their families, and 
their future.
  Yet, MAGA Republicans have never wanted these women to have these 
fundamental rights, and they aim to strip away their freedoms.
  But to all the women and the families who may be scared and are 
listening across America right now, please hear me now:
  House Democrats have your back. We trust women. We are fighting for 
you. We always have, and we always will.
