Women's Health Protection Act of 2022

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. PFLUGER. Madam Speaker, I thank the gentlewoman from Washington for yielding time.

Madam Speaker, I rise in opposition to the Democrats' extreme pro- abortion agenda.

Today, I am voting against two bills that go far beyond Roe v. Wade, which is the decision to move these types of unenumerated decisions to the State level, as the Constitution clearly says, backed up by the Supreme Court.

But what my Democrat colleagues are pushing would permit elective abortions, up to and including a baby's due date, an extreme position legalizing abortion based on the child's race, sex, or disability. Tragic.

Another of their initiatives opens up dangerous loopholes for child traffickers to cover up their crimes by forcing victims to receive abortions across State lines, and it criminalizes those who might encourage delaying an abortion, including parents or healthcare providers. Parents.

Since the overturn of Roe v. Wade, Democrats at all levels, including the White House, have spread misinformation and fear surrounding the decision. Presenting the killing of a child as a woman's only avenue to success in her career or life is inhumane and wrong.

Madam Speaker, I encourage all of my colleagues to vote against these bills.
