00:00 Good morning.

00:05 Today we will hold a HELP committee hearing on the ongoing damage caused by the Dobbs

00:10 decision which Republicans in the Senate enabled and cheered, and the cruel Republican abortion

00:17 bans that have now been passed in state after state over the past two years.

00:22 As we will hear, the chaos, the fear, the heartbreak caused by extreme Republican abortion

00:28 bans has only grown with each passing day.

00:32 And we would like to say to any Republicans who are still in denial, this issue is not

00:38 going away.

00:40 It is the furthest thing from being settled.

00:43 Women are not going to forget about the horrors they have been put through, and they're not

00:47 going to accept a status quo where politicians control their most personal medical decisions.

00:54 And we've seen that several times already.

00:57 Every time abortion rights have been on the ballot over the past two years, abortion rights

01:02 have won.

01:04 That message here is clear, it is unambiguous, and we are going to make sure that Republicans

01:10 do not ignore it.

01:12 I hope Republicans will come today and listen to the testimonies of our witnesses.

01:17 I hope they will truly take to heart the stories of women and providers whose lives have been

01:23 turned upside down and irrevocably harmed by the abortion bans they championed and cleared

01:29 the way for.

01:30 The Senate Democrats are going to keep lifting up the voices of women who are bravely sharing

01:37 their stories.

01:38 We will keep shining a spotlight on the lives that have been wrecked by cruel Republican

01:42 abortion bans, and Democrats will not rest until we restore abortion rights for all Americans

01:49 by passing the Women Health Protection Act.

01:53 With that, let me turn it over to Senator Hassell.
