00:00 Thank you. With that, we'll take a couple questions and then we're going to head to
00:05 the hearing. Yes.
00:07 Have you heard anything from Senate Republicans that will push to focus on reproductive rights?
00:12 You know the Senate is taking up the right to one's own child tomorrow. Have you heard anything?
00:16 I have not heard anything from Republicans in general. We are taking up the women's right
00:21 to a contraception tomorrow. There will be a vote on the floor. We'll hear from them then.
00:25 Do you think that this strategy is effective to put up these bills that likely won't pass?
00:30 Well, you don't pass anything that you don't try to pass. We're going to put it up on the floor
00:36 and we're going to hope that it will pass. And I believe that the American people want to
00:41 know what's at stake here and what we're fighting for. Certainly access to contraception.
00:46 Certainly to the Women's Health Protective Act. These are things that we are putting up
00:50 and working to try and get passed.
00:54 Others? All right. Thank you all very much.
00:58 Thank you.
00:58 Thank you.
