Vote Passed
Granting Legal Rights to a Pregnancy (“Personhood”)
Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, H.R.1. Final Passage. A bill to overhaul the tax system which grants separate legal rights to a pregnancy, laying the legal groundwork to ban abortion outright. (Some anti-choice lawmakers cast what appear to be pro-choice votes; most observers recognize that those votes were cast for reasons unrelated to reproductive health.) Paul Ryan cast a Speaker vote.
This measure negatively impacts reproductive freedom.
