                       Right to Contraception Act

  Mrs. BRITT. Madam President, this week, my colleagues across the 
aisle will start their summer of scare tactics. Unfortunately, this is 
continuing the campaign of fearmongering we have already seen.
  Contraception is available in every State across the Nation. And, of 
course, I want to be absolutely, 100-percent clear that I support 
continued nationwide access to contraception, but that is not the 
purpose of the bill my colleagues across the aisle are bringing to the 
floor on Wednesday. Once again, the bill tramples on foundational 
religious liberty protections that have long been bipartisan and truly 
should remain bipartisan, and my colleagues across the aisle know that. 
The goal of my Democratic colleagues right now is to scare the American 
people--to scare women--across our great Nation. It is not that they 
believe that there is a problem they are truly trying to solve; they 
are prioritizing their own short-term, partisan, political interests. 
Sadly, this only does a disservice to the very families and the very 
women we should be trying to find common ground to help. We saw the 
false fearmongering with the MOMS Act. We have already seen it with 
issues like IVF.

  Just like nationwide access to contraception, I want to make it clear

[[Page S3926]]

that Republicans support continued nationwide access to IVF.
  I look forward to discussing this more next week, as, unfortunately, 
my Democratic colleagues will continue their summer of scare tactics.
  The Republican Party is the party of families, and we are going to 
continue fighting to support the rights and freedoms of families across 
America.
  I yield the floor.
