                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, January 31, 2024

  Mr. LIEU. Mr. Speaker, I was absent from the House floor for part of 
January 18, 2024. As a member of the Congressional Pro-Choice Caucus, I 
have spent my career in public office working to protect equal access 
to reproductive health care for all Americans. I also believe that the 
government has no place to influence an individual's decision to use 
family planning services such as birth control or abortion.
  Had I been present to cast a vote, I would have voted NAY on Roll 
Call No. 19.
