BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. ADAMS. Madam Speaker, absolutely outrageous, that is what Republicans' attempt to repeal Roe v. Wade on its 42nd anniversary is, absolutely outrageous.

A blatant attack on women and their families, their first attempt, H.R. 36, failed because women of both parties spoke out to let our male Republican colleagues know they have gone too far.

The women of this House know that a woman cannot call herself free who does not own or control her own body. We are free, Madam Speaker.

Here we go again, H.R. 7, another attempt to attack women's rights. It especially impacts women of color--not on my watch.

Women of the House, let's do it again. Let's prevent this legislation from moving forward, and let's vote ``no.''
