i am a coley with representative judy chu -- which passed the house nine months to the day that roe is overturned, by the supreme court. which time and time again has obstructed the will of the people. we also have to set up abortion havens. i represent the commonwealth of massachusetts. we do abortion -- it remains legal here in the commonwealth of massachusetts. but our governor and our state legislature hasn't viewed funds to ensure we wouldn't be able to provide reproductive access to provide abortion care, health care, to all those seeking it. who will come from neighboring states. who do not have states rights. and finally, given the extremism, the far-right extremism and the imbalance, and compromise integrity of the supreme court, we need to expand the courts. we need to restore balance and integrity. >> congresswoman, final question to you. i don't need to tell you this, because you're talking to your own constituents. there's so much anger, there's so much fear. how do americans who are experiencing the angry fear -- put into action. what do they do? >> absolutely. channel th
