Congresswoman Suzan DelBene of Washington's 1st Congressional District spoke on the House floor today voicing opposition to legislation that would create sweeping restrictions on reproductive health services for women across the country. The vote on H.R. 7 comes the same week as the anniversary of Roe v. Wade and just days after millions of women and men marched to tell lawmakers to protect and respect women’s rights. “This weekend, millions of women marched across the country to send a clear signal to Congress and President Trump: Hear our voices. Protect our rights. Yet here we are, just two days later, voting on the same extremist policies that House leaders have been pushing for years," said DelBene. |
