Disqualifying vote on record

At least one Tier 1 vote: a vote to advance a direct breach of a clear command, or against a clean protection bill under the stated rule.

Earlier record (not scored)

  • In the 118th Congress this member cosponsored H.R. 12, which women's Health Protection Act: prohibits governmental restrictions on abortion.
  • In the 118th Congress this member cosponsored H.R. 782, which prohibits interfering with access to out-of-state abortion.
  • In the 118th Congress this member cosponsored H.R. 1723, which authorizes foreign-assistance funds for reproductive health care incl. abortion.
  • In the 118th Congress this member cosponsored H.Res. 269, which transgender Bill of Rights incl. gender-affirming care.

This note is shown for completeness. It is not scored. A sponsorship in the 117th Congress or earlier stays a note. Prior-Congress resolutions are notes and do not cap. Operative class-A bills in the current and prior Congress can cap the label. The label window is the current and prior Congress, about four years.

History

Past floor votes

Past floor votes on life and on children count at a disclosed prudential weight. A vote in the prior Congress counts at 0.5. A vote two Congresses back counts at 0.25. Nothing older is scored. The weight counts toward the lane minimum: the votes add their weights, not one full vote each. An absence, or a present, on a bill that defends life or children still counts, at that same reduced weight. An absence on a bill that expands abortion does not. Scripture gives no half-life for sin. Recent conduct is better evidence of how a member uses the office now. The numbers 0.5 and 0.25, and the two-Congress limit, are chosen numbers, open to revision. Decay changes the score only. Whether a cap applies does not decay.

  • Yea on H.R. 3755 (117th Congress, house roll 295). disclosed prudential weight 0.25 (two Congresses back). Abortion-expansion yea. It caps the label at Compromises on record and does not disqualify. Official roll.
  • Yea on H.R. 8296 (117th Congress, house roll 360). disclosed prudential weight 0.25 (two Congresses back). Abortion-expansion yea. It caps the label at Compromises on record and does not disqualify. Official roll.
  • Yea on H.R. 8297 (117th Congress, house roll 362). disclosed prudential weight 0.25 (two Congresses back). Cap only. Tier 1 eligible, pending human text review and Adam sign-off.

  • Nay on H.R. 6918 (118th Congress, house roll 17). disclosed prudential weight 0.5 (prior Congress). Protective life vote. Past version of a capped bill, so the weight stays 0.5. Official roll.
