On the recordMarch 20, 1997
The point of order is the fundamental purpose of the underlying bill, H.R. 1122, deals with a very limited class of abortion, specifically partial-birth abortions. One specific type of procedure in the bill is what is dealt with in H.R. 1122. The fundamental purpose of the motion to recommit, in contrast to that, deals with any abortion procedure done post viability. It, therefore, purports to cover a much broader class of procedures. I believe that the impact of the motion to recommit would essentially be nil, because although it purports to affect a broader class of procedures, due to the exceptions contained in the motion to recommit, it is essentially meaningless.
