                        WOMEN WILL NOT BE ERASED

  (Mrs. FOUSHEE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. FOUSHEE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Women's History 
Month on this last day of March.
  Every year during this month, we celebrate the countless 
contributions that women have made throughout America's history. This 
includes women of color, immigrant women, women with disabilities, 
lesbian and trans women, and others, who have led the charge in pushing 
America forward and advancing the ideals of equity and justice for all.
  However, since Trump has taken office, women in my district and 
across the country are being targeted by harmful orders and policies 
and are feeling the direct impacts of this administration's extreme 
actions.
  Republicans also recently passed a budget which includes billions in 
cuts for community projects in districts across the country, many of 
which were intended for domestic violence shelters, youth community 
centers, and childcare centers.
  The same bill also directed that the Energy and Commerce Committee 
make at least $880 billion in cuts. This would require deep cuts to 
Medicaid specifically, which helps provide coverage for over 40 percent 
of births in the United States.
  This administration can try to erase the word ``women'' from 
government, but it will not erase us.
