Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA) In Opposition to the Pence Amendment

What part of "so long as it isn't your tax dollars paying for it" didn't you understand? Did you suddenly develop cataracts when your eyes scanned over the "it's not your money" bit? Did you fail elementary level reading comprehension? Are you mental? Is your caps lock key stuck?

Wow congresswoman speier laid the smackdown! Pow!

rep jackie speier: fierce. and her comments on halliburton are spot on. not her comments on all that halliburton has done, but on how no one is trying to legislate them out of existence. women's bodies are WOMEN'S bodies. male legislators need to get that through their heads and stop trying to legislate women's bodies into submission because "ew, vaginas have coooties" or whatever bs "logic" they're operating with.

damn, Jackie got game



You've obviously never seen her speak about this in person. You can see the grief losing this WANTED child causes her. She actually had been trying to get pregnant. Do your research, you vapid soul.

They don't get to use it for non-life saving abortions.

The baby was already dead

Keep in mind she had been working since 9 that morning, and it was 11 pm at this point. Having hear the story personally from her, she makes a point. If you knew the direction this speech had taken, you would know that this was the response needed. If you disagree, fine. But never doubt that personal experience plays a key role in the democratic process. This is one of the few elected officials that gets anything done.

So glad to say she's a Mercy Girl. She makes us all proud.

only congress person who gets any work done! my hat is off to you! Unlike others, you deserve every penny you get! Thank you
