Yesterday Congress voted on the "Unborn Child Pain Awareness Act of 2006." The bill would have required abortionists to inform women seeking abortions after 20 weeks gestation (yes, Virginia, that's 5+ months into pregnancy, when most moms are showing) that the baby almost certainly can experience pain, and could be administered anesthesia.
The bill garnered the support of 60% of the House, but failed to pass because it was being voted on under a suspension of rules which would have required 2/3rds support.
How did our Representatives vote?
Voting for were:
Reichert, Rodgers (formerly McMorris), Hastings [all Republicans]
Voting against:
Inslee, Larsen, Baird, Dicks, McDermott, Smith [all Democrats]
