Fighting for Women's Reproductive Rights

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. GARCIA of Texas. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of House Democrats and their efforts today to protect women and their fundamental reproductive rights.

In my home State of Texas, more than 50,000 women had an abortion last year. These are women who made an extremely personal and intimate healthcare decision based on what is best for them, their families, and their future.

Yet, MAGA Republicans have never wanted these women to have these fundamental rights, and they aim to strip away their freedoms.

But to all the women and the families who may be scared and are listening across America right now, please hear me now:

House Democrats have your back. We trust women. We are fighting for you. We always have, and we always will.
