Nancy Pelosi Continues To Block Vote On Prohibiting Infanticide

Nancy Pelosi Continues To Block Vote On Prohibiting Infanticide

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.”

In other words,  Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, who recently invited Planned Parenthood’s president to the State of the Union, could be forced to allow a vote in the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act.
