              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.
