Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (pictured) continues to block a vote on ending infanticide. Currently, House members are calling for a discharge petition for the legislation, which would force a vote on the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. According to a Washington Post reporter, “A discharge petition is a procedural tactic that allows an absolute majority of the House of Representatives (218 lawmakers) to force a floor vote on a bill, even if leaders who control the House floor oppose the measure.”
