Women's Health Protection Act of 2021

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mrs. McCLAIN. Madam Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman for yielding and for her diligent effort to save the lives of unborn children. And that is really what this bill is about, saving the lives of unborn children.

For all of us that have children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, this is about them and their rights. I hear us talking about our rights, but what about their rights? Don't they have a right? Because they have no choice. So thank you for being their voice.

But I rise today to speak the truth. I want to talk about the truth, which doesn't happen much. This act is titled the Women's Health Protection Act, more properly titled the abortion on demand act.

Stop hiding behind Texas. Stop hiding behind women's rights.

The majority has chosen once again to lie to the American people about what this legislation is about. This bill has nothing to do with women's health. This bill is about infanticide. To my Democratic colleagues, if you are in support of infanticide, just say it. You don't need to sugar coat it. Just say it. To my democratic colleagues, if you are in support of killing a child for any reason, you wanted a boy but it is a girl, oh, we will just get rid of it and try again, just have the courage and the guts to say it.
