He did not vote for abortion.

Here's an item:

“Vote on a motion to send back to committee HR 796, a bill amending the federal criminal code to prohibit actions directed at clinics which perform abortion procedures, or at those persons attempting to access these clinics.”

This was a vote to send HR 796 back to committee. That's nothing. I'd have to research HR 796, which is the amendment, and also the above mentioned “federal criminal code,” then see if the amendment came up for a vote, etc. Can I do this? you better believe it. Just not now. I have to get up for work in the morning.

I hope you can prove it a damn lie.

That's the truth.

Sending it back to committee is called tabling a bill. Tabling a bill is a way to kill it by making it languish in committee. Or it's way to change a bill with new language before it goes back to a floor vote.

Voting to send abortion bills back to committee is a positive vote, not a negative. Anyone who knows how a bill becomes law should know that.
