Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. CHU. Madam Speaker, H.R. 26 would rob families of the ability to make difficult and complicated medical decisions in some of the most heartbreaking circumstances imaginable. It is a mean-spirited solution in search of a problem.

If the majority is interested in caring for newborns, I invite them to support Democrats' efforts to provide paid family leave to every new parent. Republicans are welcome to join our efforts to expand the child tax credit to families struggling with paying the bills. And we would be thrilled to have bipartisan support in this Chamber to make childcare affordable everywhere.

Alternatively, House Republicans have brought up a bill designed to intimidate doctors and perpetuate disinformation about how abortion care actually works.

Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to oppose this bill and instead vote ``yes'' on the motion to recommit which would bring up my bill, the Women's Health Protection Act, legislation that would create a Federal right to abortion care free from medically unnecessary restrictions in all 50 States.
