LEADER JEFFRIES: "EXTREME MAGA REPUBLICANS ARE ONCE AGAIN PUSHING THEIR ANTI-ABORTION, ANTI-FREEDOM, ANTI-WOMAN AGENDA"

Press Conference

"Good morning, everyone. From the very beginning of this Congress, Democrats have maintained that we will work with our Republican colleagues whenever and wherever possible to find bipartisan common ground in order to solve problems for everyday Americans. And we continue to do that. At the same time, we have made clear that we will push back against Republican extremism whenever necessary. This week, we find the extreme MAGA Republicans are once again pushing their anti-abortion, anti-freedom, anti-woman agenda and trying to march America toward a nationwide abortion ban. The extreme MAGA Republicans will have two bills on the floor today that undermine reproductive freedom for the women of America.

House Democrats will continue to stand up for a woman's freedom to make her own reproductive healthcare decisions and the American people support reproductive freedom. House Republican extremists want to impose a nationwide abortion ban. House Republican extremists want to criminalize abortion care. House Republican extremists want to see an America with government-mandated pregnancies, even when that pregnancy undermines the health, safety and well-being of women in this country. We're going to continue to stand on the side of reproductive freedom and expose the Republican extremism on this issue, which will be on full display on the House Floor this afternoon."
