  Mrs. MURRAY. Mr. President, the fact that the United States is 
debating and voting on this bill attacking women's healthcare right now 
is an absolute disgrace.
  We are 27 days into President Trump's completely unnecessary 
government shutdown. Workers are not being paid. Families are huddled 
around their tables, wondering which bills to pay and which expenses to 
cut. Our national security is being impacted. Our parks are filling up 
with trash. Our economy is losing billions of dollars. The list goes 
on. It needs to end.
  I urge my colleagues, vote no against this bill today that would 
erode women's healthcare and take away our constitutionally protected 
rights. Demand that Republican leaders let us vote to open the 
government, and then let's get back to work getting our country back on 
track.
  I yield the floor.
