OPPOSING THE GOP'S ANTIABORTION LEGISLATION
(Ms. STANSBURY asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. STANSBURY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in opposition to the GOP's
two anti-choice bills which are going to be on the House floor this
week.
These two bills, like so much of the House GOP's legislation, claim
to support women and our communities while doing the exact opposite
through a thinly veiled attempt to further restrict and stigmatize
abortion as they meanwhile work to gut access to reproductive care all
across this country.
These policies are so unpopular that they are now hiding them in
education bills like the ones that they are bringing to the floor this
week, as nearly three dozen of our House Republican colleagues are now
trying to walk back their support for national abortion bans.
Be that as it may, the American people are not fooled. Do not be
fooled by these bills. Our reproductive rights are under attack, and
these two bills are part of that attempt to gut the rights of women.
That is why I will not only be voting ``no'' but hell no to these
bills.
