HONORING LIVES LOST TO DENIALS OF ABORTION CARE

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 106 (Wednesday, June 24, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 106 (Wednesday, June 24, 2026)] [House] [Pages H4228-H4229] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] HONORING LIVES LOST TO DENIALS OF ABORTION CARE (Ms. PRESSLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.) Ms. PRESSLEY. Mr. Chair, I rise with a heavy heart to remember the women who have died because they were denied essential abortion care after the devastating Dobbs decision unleashed abortion care bans across our country. I rise today in remembrance of Amber Nicole Thurman, Candi Miller, Ciji Graham, Josseli Barnica, Yeni Alvarez-Estrada Glick, Nevaeh Crain, Tierra Walker, Taysha Wilkinson-Sobieski, Porsha Ngumezi, and Adriana Smith. [[Page H4229]] Devastatingly, I fear there are others, too, who have lost their lives, though we do not publicly know their names. Mr. Speaker, I rise to observe a moment of silence for those who have died because they were denied essential abortion care. ____________________
