'Smart,' Conway tweeted of the Republican effort to force the vote.
Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway on Tuesday afternoon seemed to cheer on Republicans who tried to force a vote on the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which they believe would fight “infanticide.”
“House Republicans just formed a long line on the House Floor to sign my discharge petition that will force a vote on the Born Alive Act & make all members tell the American people where they stand on infanticide,” Scalise tweeted. “Now let’s see if Democrats will join us. #LetUsVote”Conway is among conservatives who have framed the issue as the killing of infants.
Scalise in a press conference on Tuesday said, “You can’t say you’re pro-life unless you sign the discharge petition to bring this bill up for debate and for a vote on the House floor.” Democrats contend that infanticide is already illegal and the bill therefore is not needed. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democratic leaders have refused to bring such legislation to the floor despite more than 25 requests from Republicans. Republicans have been fighting third-trimester abortions, in light of low public support for later abortions.
