Statement

Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Abortion

Congresswoman Alma Adams (NC-12) released the following statement after voting against H.R. 36 the so-called "Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act".

"Just days after the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history my Republican colleagues are wasting time re-litigating a woman's constitutionally protected right to comprehensive healthcare instead of addressing gun violence in America," said Congresswoman Adams. "I voted against H.R. 36 because this debate was settled by Roe vs. Wade in 1973 and now we're just wasting time. With each passing day without action nearly 100 people die from gun violence nationwide. When is enough, enough?"
