PERSONAL EXPLANATION
______
HON. BETTY McCOLLUM
of minnesota
in the house of representatives
Wednesday, October 27, 2021
Ms. McCOLLUM. Madam Speaker, I was unable to vote on the Republican En Bloc Amendment No. 2 to H.R. 2119 due to Chairing a Defense Appropriations Subcommittee hearing.
Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on the Foxx, Letlow Amendment that would have placed unnecessary and dangerous restrictions on women's reproductive rights.
Although I opposed this amendment, I voted in favor of the underlying bill, the Family Violence Prevention and Services Improvement Act of 2021 (H.R. 2119).
