A Woman's Right to Choose

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. STANSBURY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to ask my colleagues one simple question: Do you honestly believe that you have any right to tell me or any woman in America what I can do with my own body?

Do you have any right to tell me when, if, or how, I decide to have a family; or the thousands of women across Alabama who had their rights stripped away this week to become a mother; the thousands across this country who are facing the devastating experience of having a miscarriage and not being able to get care; and the millions of women, including myself, who woke up 2 years ago to the news that the Supreme Court had stripped away our rights.

Yet, you stand here on the House floor denying the rights of women to IVF and reproductive care and telling your donors that you will enact a 100 percent abortion ban this November.

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. STANSBURY. It is our body, it is our right, and I will not yield.
