            HONORING LIVES LOST TO DENIALS OF ABORTION CARE

  (Ms. PRESSLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Ms. PRESSLEY. Mr. Chair, I rise with a heavy heart to remember the 
women who have died because they were denied essential abortion care 
after the devastating Dobbs decision unleashed abortion care bans 
across our country.
  I rise today in remembrance of Amber Nicole Thurman, Candi Miller, 
Ciji Graham, Josseli Barnica, Yeni Alvarez-Estrada Glick, Nevaeh Crain, 
Tierra Walker, Taysha Wilkinson-Sobieski, Porsha Ngumezi, and Adriana 
Smith.

  Devastatingly, I fear there are others, too, who have lost their 
lives, though we do not publicly know their names.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise to observe a moment of silence for those who have 
died because they were denied essential abortion care.
