Ms. ADAMS. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding.

Today, we find ourselves rereading the same chapter from a Republican extremist book that seems to have no end. Today's vote represents the 63rd time the GOP has tried to repeal or undermine the Affordable Care Act and the 12th time the GOP has voted to attack women's health care in the 114th Congress alone.

Partisan games and divisions are transgressions on our communities. We must work together to seize the opportunity that exists in our great Nation. We can't do that by wasting time and energy on radical agendas.

Attacking Planned Parenthood is part of a ploy to roll back women's rights. No one should control a woman's right to make decisions about her own body. I won't stop advocating for women's comprehensive health care or a woman's right to control her own body.

This war on women must stop.
