Quigley Speaks Out Against the "Let Women Die Act"

"Madam Speaker, earlier this year we learned what opponents of choice really think of women when they attempted to redefine rape in H.R. 3 -- when they claimed to be fiscal watchdogs, and then voted to repeal funding for family planning and Planned Parenthood, which saves the public 4 dollars for every 1 dollar invested.

And now they are pushing H.R. 358, the falsely named "Protect Life Act, which rather than protecting life, would actually allow hospitals to refuse life-saving treatment to women on religious or moral grounds.

This harmful bill will also effectively ban comprehensive insurance coverage, which includes abortion care, even if a woman pays with her own, private dollars.

H.R. 358, like every extremist, anti-choice measure before it reveals what choice opponents really think of women.

Here's what I think of women: I think they should be able make their own life choices about their own bodies, and I think we should vote down this bill and every other destructive measure being pushed by those who think so little of our mothers, sisters, wives and daughters."
