CONGRESS FOR VOTERS

House Roll Call 26

119th Congress · Session 1 · January 23, 2025

A last attempt to send the bill back to committee

The minority party's final chance to change or stall a bill just before the vote on passage. It almost always fails; when it succeeds, the bill does not get its final vote that day.

What was being voted on

119-HR-21 — Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act

This bill aims to amend title 18 of the United States Code regarding health care requirements. It requires health care practitioners to provide a specific degree of care to a child born alive following an abortion or attempted abortion. Specifically, practitioners must exercise skill and diligence to preserve the child's life and health and ensure immediate hospital admission. The bill also mandates that employees report any failure to comply with these standards to law enforcement. It establishes criminal penalties, including fines and imprisonment, for those who violate these requirements.
