When the motion was rejected by House Democrats, Congressman Watkins issued the following statement:

“This legislation is a matter of protecting human dignity and should not be a controversial issue.  It amends Federal law so that in the case that a baby survives an abortion, the doctor must do everything in their power to give the baby medical care.  I will continue to work with my colleagues to bring this legislation to the House Floor for a vote.” Said Congressman Watkins.
