BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mrs. McBATH. Madam Speaker, I had always wanted to start a family of my own, but like many women in America, I struggled to get pregnant. Some days I kept praying to God wondering if He was ever going to allow me to have a child at all. For far too many women in this country, the miracle of pregnancy often ends in tragedy.

Our State of Georgia has one of the worst rates of maternal death in this country, and Black mothers face even worse statistics. Now extremists want to mandate our healthcare decisions and intimidate our doctors with political games that cut off access to care, care that once saved my life.

My story is not unique. Lives are at risk, and I fear for the safety of families in Georgia and across the country if these attempts succeed.
