A more accurate short title for this bill would be the ``Violating
the Rights of Women Act of 2017.''
Instead of resuming their annual War on Women, our colleagues across
the aisle should be working with Democrats to help rebuild the ravaged
communities hit by hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria. Madam Speaker, we could and should instead be voting reauthorize the
important SCHIP program that has helped families get on their feet for
years. Instead of voting to abridge the constitutional rights of women for
the umpteenth time, we should bring to the floor for a first vote
comprehensive immigration reform legislation or legislations repairing
the harm to the Voting Rights Act of 1965 by the Supreme Court's
decision in Shelby County v. Holder. The one thing we should not be doing is debating irresponsible
``messaging bills'' that abridge the rights of women and poses a
nationwide threat to the health and wellbeing of American women and a
direct challenge to the Supreme Court's ruling in Roe v.
