                 SUPPORTING WOMEN'S REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS

  (Mrs. TRAHAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. TRAHAN. Mr. Speaker, 81 days. That is how long it took for 
Republicans to change their position from abortion as a State issue to 
supporting a nationwide abortion ban; 81 days to put their hypocrisy on 
full display for every American--every woman--to see.
  Mr. Speaker, this is what it looks like when lawmakers show their 
true intention. Their intention is to go beyond the Supreme Court's 
disastrous decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Their intention is to go 
beyond the horrific State laws that have already stripped millions of 
women and young girls of their reproductive rights. Republicans backing 
this new proposal want to ban every woman in America from seeking 
abortion care--no exceptions.
  Make no mistake, Mr. Speaker. If Republicans get their way, women's 
lives will be at risk, and many will die from delayed or denied care.
  For our daughters, we cannot--we will not--let them win.
