              EXTREMISTS TRYING TO BAN ABORTION NATIONWIDE

  (Mrs. LEE of Nevada asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. LEE of Nevada. Mr. Speaker, I rise today as leaders of the 
Republican Party in both the House and the Senate have introduced 
legislation to ban abortion nationwide.
  It doesn't matter if you live in a State where abortion is protected 
by the voters like Nevada. Abortion would be banned in every State.
  The most extreme restrictions would be held in place, and women's 
healthcare decisions would be taken away from you and handed over to 
Lindsey Graham and his Republican colleagues.
  The vast majority of Americans support Roe, but the Supreme Court has 
stripped away our freedoms and overturned 50 years of constitutional 
precedent.
  Since Roe, extremist politicians have introduced nearly 590 bills to 
ban, restrict, and control our choice. That is right--nearly 600 bills.
  They are obsessed with taking away our most personal healthcare 
decisions, and we can't let that happen. I will do everything in my 
power to stop the Washington Republicans who want to take away your 
freedom. We will not be intimidated.
