TIME TO END THE DAMAGE OF THE DOBBS DECISION
(Ms. BYNUM asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. BYNUM. Mr. Speaker, tomorrow marks 3 years since the Supreme
Court voted to strip women of their reproductive healthcare rights,
overturning 50 years of legal precedent. I am talking about the Dobbs
decision.
I rise today because that devastating decision has put the health of
women nationwide at risk. Since then, States have issued extreme
restrictions on abortion, forcing thousands of women to travel or risk
prosecution to access basic healthcare.
Mr. Speaker, this is unacceptable. As a mother to two daughters, hear
me when I say it: Decisions regarding reproductive healthcare should
not be in the hands of politicians and lawmakers. We must protect and
expand reproductive freedom for women everywhere.
Mr. Speaker, it is time to end the damage of the Dobbs decision and
restore a woman's right to choose.
