(Worthy News) – House Republicans are pushing for a vote on a bill that would require doctors to care for infants who survive abortions.
Rep. Kat Cammack (R., Fla.) filed a discharge petition Wednesday to bring the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act up for a floor vote. The petition requires 218 signatures, meaning six Democrats would have to cross the aisle to force a vote on the legislation. The bill, however, faces strong Democratic opposition—Democrats have blocked the bill on multiple occasions, most recently in February.
Rep. Ann Wagner (R., Mo.), who authored the legislation in the House, ripped Democrats for obstructing the legislation during a floor speech Wednesday. [ Source: Washington Free Beacon (Read More…) ]
