           WOMEN SHOULD MAKE THEIR OWN HEALTH CARE DECISIONS

  (Mr. BARBER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. BARBER. Madam Speaker, as the husband of an incredible woman who 
has guided and advised me for 46 years and the father of two strong and 
accomplished young women and the grandfather of three granddaughters, I 
stand with all women today.
  I stand in support of every woman's right to be able to choose what 
is best for her and her family. And I stand ready to protect and 
preserve the ability of every woman to make her own health care 
decisions with her doctor and without the interference of politicians 
in Washington. And I stand in opposition to H.R. 7, which would 
restrict

the rights of women and their access to care.
  I urge my colleagues, every one, to stand with me.
