WI Right to Life – 8/1/2012

In an historic vote yesterday, a solid majority of the U.S. House voted to reject the current abortion policy of the District of Columbia, which permits legal abortion for any reason until birth, and to replace it with a law that would generally prevent abortion after 20 weeks fetal age.

The legislation, H.R. 3803, is known as the District of Columbia Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. The vote was 220-154 in favor of the bill, a strong majority but short of the two-thirds vote required under the procedure used yesterday (”suspension of the rules”).

All five Republican members of Wisconsin’s U.S. House delegation are co-sponsors of H.R. 3803 (Representatives James Sensenbrenner, Paul Ryan, Tom Petri, Sean Duffy and Reid Ribble). 
 
The three Democratic members of the Wisconsin delegation voted and didn’t vote:
TAMMY BALDWIN and GWEN MOORE were recorded as “not voting”
RON KIND voted against the life-saving legislation.
