                        REPUBLICAN WAR ON WOMEN

  (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 discuss the efforts to 
undermine women and girls. The majority brought two bills forward that 
most Americans would reject.
  One was a bill to protect misleading antiabortion pregnancy centers 
that aren't required to use actual medical professionals. The second 
restricts campuses from using literature that does anything other than 
encourage women to carry a pregnancy to term.
  These were bad bills. Instead, I encourage my colleagues to support 
two bills that we will introduce next week. One, we want to prohibit 
funding for those pregnancy centers that mislead women and keep them 
from the medical care they need.
  Two, we want colleges and universities to address the crisis of 
sexual assault on campus. Instead of requiring pamphlets to be passed 
out, they should require colleges and universities to report on sexual 
assaults and submit plans that would end this nightmare for women on 
campuses across the country.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to end these efforts to undermine 
women and girls, and instead, pursue policies that empower and protect 
all those we serve.
