Extremists Trying to Ban Abortion Nationwide

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mrs. LEE of Nevada. Mr. Speaker, I rise today as leaders of the Republican Party in both the House and the Senate have introduced legislation to ban abortion nationwide.

It doesn't matter if you live in a State where abortion is protected by the voters like Nevada. Abortion would be banned in every State.

The most extreme restrictions would be held in place, and women's healthcare decisions would be taken away from you and handed over to Lindsey Graham and his Republican colleagues.

The vast majority of Americans support Roe, but the Supreme Court has stripped away our freedoms and overturned 50 years of constitutional precedent.

Since Roe, extremist politicians have introduced nearly 590 bills to ban, restrict, and control our choice. That is right--nearly 600 bills.

They are obsessed with taking away our most personal healthcare decisions, and we can't let that happen. I will do everything in my power to stop the Washington Republicans who want to take away your freedom. We will not be intimidated.
