     STANDING UP FOR REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM AND REPRODUCTIVE JUSTICE

  (Ms. BROWNLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Ms. BROWNLEY. Mr. Speaker, last week, House Republicans sadly 
displayed their incoherent and chaotic approach toward governing in 
this country.
  But when it comes to ripping away the reproductive rights and 
freedoms of women across the country, my colleagues on the other side 
of the aisle have never been more united.
  Despite the many immediate challenges facing our country, their 
priority was to criminalize abortion care and to put the health of 
women at risk.
  The party that claims they want government out of our lives could not 
move more quickly to put the government and politicians in charge of 
one of the most personal decisions a woman can ever make.
  Listening to my colleagues pontificate about the sanctity of life 
while attempting to take away life-saving healthcare for millions of 
women is appalling.
  I am proud to stand with House Democrats to continue to fight for 
reproductive freedom and reproductive justice and the right to abortion 
across the United States.
