                 ANNIVERSARY OF OVERTURNING ROE V. WADE

  (Mr. LATIMER asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LATIMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today, 4 years after the overturning 
of Roe v. Wade, to bring to light the devastating impact that the 
Supreme Court's Dobbs decision has had on our country.
  Since Dobbs, government interference in what should be a decision 
between doctor and patient has led physicians to hesitate, delaying 
patients from receiving the care they require.
  Centers that provide preventative and lifesaving reproductive 
services have been shuttered. In the wake of Dobbs, laws have caused 
women to experience unnecessary complications sometimes leading to 
their death.
  I cannot fathom being forced to make a life-or-death decision because 
of what politicians and courts have decided rather than the advice of 
medical experts.
  On this anniversary, I urge my colleagues to join me in demanding 
better for my constituents by acting to protect access to reproductive 
care.
  Every moment we wait is a moment too long.
