Quickly and have refused the last urgent measures that would protect our country from an Urgent Health crisis. As i said when i started, mr. President , this is a test today to see whether our democratic colleagues care more about babies like this or special Interest Groups and they failed that test. It is simple as that. Under the bill we got back, and the Senate Approval happened in the house, planned parenthood, an organization where hundreds and hundreds of thousands of women go for their care. Do you think they will have a rush of business now . Want to America Today make sure they have the ability to not get pregnant. Why . Because mosquitoes ravage pregnant women. Under the logic of my republican leaders, they dont need to go to planned parenthood. They can go to their doctor someplace in las vegas or chicago or lexington, kentucky. They can go to an emergency room and say, im sorry, i did not get birth control. Can you help me. That is what Emergency Rooms are for. No, that is
~ ~ demonstrate there is a local need. To go through and be scrutinized around some of those comparisons with Small Businesses and come out the backside with something that really has a starting point of being wanted by the local community.

And while this will still be for some businesses a bit of a challenge to be able to meet these mandates, there was definitely appreciation for the mayor for stepping in and, you know, bringing forth measures that were the best at this particular point in time that could be done, and that, that were not taking a look at, especially for
