Mr. PAPPAS. Madam Speaker, for 48 years the right to choose has been the law of the land, and it is time that Congress protects that right and access to the full range of reproductive care.

States are passing dangerous bans on abortion that harm patients and criminalize doctors, and anti-choice legislators are erecting barriers that are ever more onerous for women. This has even happened in my home State of New Hampshire where the legislature passed an abortion ban and forced ultrasounds for women seeking an abortion.

If the Supreme Court won't protect Roe v. Wade, then Congress must pass the Women's Health Protection Act.
