House - 116th 2nd Session Summaries

1. Motion to Recommit Acknowledging Unborn Children as a Vulnerable Population

Offered by Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), the Motion to Recommit sought to amend H.R. 535 the PFAS Action Act of 2019 to expand the list of vulnerable populations considered when developing drinking water standards to include unborn children. Including this language acknowledges the fact that clean drinking water for pregnant women also affects their unborn children.

(Failed 01/10/2020, 187 yeas to 219 nays, Roll Call No. 12)

FRC Action Supported this Motion.

2. Equal Rights Amendment

Sponsored by Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA), this resolution would remove the deadline for the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). The ERA if ratified would remove existing abortion regulations, force taxpayer funding for abortion, and could roll back women's civil rights protections. Even with a resolution to remove the deadline for the ERA, the Department of Justice has said the current ERA is dead and the process to ratify the amendment would need to start over.

(Passed 02/13/2020, 232 yeas to 183 nays, Roll Call No. 70)

FRC Action Opposed this Resolution.

3. Motion to Recommit Adding the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act

Offered by Rep. Greg Walden (R-OR), the Motion to Recommit would have included the entire language of H.R. 962 the Born-alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act as an amendment to H.R. 2339, the Reversing the Youth Tobacco Epidemic Act of 2019. This language would require health care practitioners to provide the same medical care to infants born alive after a failed abortion, just as they would to any other infant born at the same gestational age. It would also create criminal penalties to enforce what is currently only a definitional provision in federal law.

(Failed 02/28/2020, 187 yeas to 220 nays, Roll Call No. 77)

FRC Action Supported this Motion.

4. The Heroes Act

Sponsored by Rep. Nita Lowey (R-NY), this partisan coronavirus relief bill attempts to take advantage of the coronavirus pandemic and use this crisis to push policies that negatively impact life, family, and religious freedom. Among other things, this bill would provide large amounts of funding without pro-life protections, redefine sex to include sexual orientation and gender identity, and push banking access for the marijuana industry.

(Passed 05/15/2020, 208 yeas to 199 nays, Roll Call No. 109)

FRC Action Opposed this Resolution.
