Sponsor: Rep. ClarkKent (F-CT)

[Clark Kent]

I intended to write my own pro-life bill, but Senator Tmth had a much more thorough bill already proposed in the Senate, so I decided to simply sponsor it in the House.

The reasoning behind this bill should be fairly straightforward. Whether or not you consider yourself pro-life or pro-choice is irrelevant. Many doctors and scientists agree that 20 weeks is when pre-born children reach viability. Abortions performed after this point are quite clearly murder.

[Clark Kent]

I also object to Representative Evergreen's amendment. We will now have a 72-hour vote on it. Representatives may vote AYE, NAY, or ABSTAIN.

[Clark Kent]

NAY

[Clark Kent]

The amendment has failed with four nays (Rep. shua's vote was a few minutes past the 72-hour cutoff) and three ayes.

[Clark Kent]

As over 36 hours have passed, Rep. Shua's amendment has been adopted.

Since there was an objection to Rep. Evergreen's amendment, we will have a 72-hour vote on it.

[Clark Kent]

AYE

[Clark Kent]

This amendment has enough votes to pass. Representatives have 24 hours to change their vote.

[Clark Kent]

The amendment has been adopted.

I will extend the period of debate for an additional 24 hours before moving to a final vote barring any objections.

[Clark Kent]

let's go ahead and have a vote on that amendment I offered.

Alright.

Opening a 72-hour vote on Rep. Shua's amendment. Representatives may vote AYE, NAY, or ABSTAIN.

[Clark Kent]

AYE

[Clark Kent]

I apologize for being late, but Rep. Shua's amendment has been added to the bill.

[Clark Kent]

Yeah, we'll move to a final vote. Representatives have 72 hours to vote.

[Clark Kent]

AYE

[Clark Kent]

This bill has passed 4-2 with Representatives Haslam2020, darthebearnc, and evergreen not voting.
