“I am not going to destroy democracy by allowing female members to vote when recovering from birth,” said GOP Representative Anna Paulina Luna of Florida.
I was very confused by this quote, because I thought Luna was one of the authors of the proxy bill. But she is saying “Allowing proxy voting won’t destroy democracy”, she is still strongly in favor of the bill.
It’s noteworthy because they are trying to use a discharge petition to get around Speaker Johnson, who refuses to bring it to the floor to a vote because he says it’s unconstitutional. I bet if it makes it to the floor, it will pass. (And if they can demonstrate that a discharge petition will be successful, then there may be more in the future).
If this is denied, the next pregnant member should just give birth right on the House floor, and see what they think of that.
Yes I had to read the article twice to understand this

STUPID LIBURLS! Pro Family means Pro as MANY families as Possible! We need to MANDATE THREE WIVES MINIMUM for every Man 18 and Older! And they need to PUMP OUT BABIES like a Cow! THATS what Pro Family is ALL about! It’s NOTHING about the Sanctity of Marriage of Protecting Children or Preparing Kids for Success!
