STRIPPING AMERICANS OF REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM
(Mr. LANDSMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. LANDSMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to talk about freedom in the
context of the Supreme Court's decision to extend their decisionmaking
timeframe as to whether or not this country is going to ban a pill that
has been approved by the FDA for over 20 years. This is a safe pill,
and it is about reproductive freedom.
Make no mistake, it is also about control. This is about stripping
Americans of their reproductive freedom, and I think immediately to my
own 13-year-old daughter and her freedoms.
We need everyone in this body to object to this national ban and to
come together to restore freedom to millions of girls and women across
America. This is a defining moment in our country. We need the majority
of us to stand on the side of freedom.
