                             WE TRUST 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. Madam Speaker, I rise to celebrate the Right to 
Contraception Act, which will soon pass the House with the support of 
House Democrats.
  Women's rights have been under attack for decades. The recent 
overturning of Roe v. Wade has sadly provided a roadmap for future 
courts to reconsider and overrule the right to contraception and other 
fundamental rights.
  In fact, Republicans have used this decision as an opening to try to 
block or ban contraceptive methods already. But House Democrats won't 
stand for this, not under our watch.
  Today, we will further protect women and their fundamental rights by 
passing the Right to Contraception Act because we trust women. The bill 
will protect women's access to birth control because no one should 
control women and make their healthcare decisions for them. No one.
  We trust women.
