Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 12) to protect a person's ability to determine whether to continue or end a pregnancy, and to protect a health care provider's ability to provide abortion services.
HRES 468 is a procedural resolution that directs the House of Representatives to immediately consider H.R. 12, a bill focused on protecting abortion access. It removes procedural barriers to debate and voting on H.R. 12, waives objections to the bill and its provisions, and sets a one-hour debate period equally split between committee leaders. This resolution directly affects House members and committee staff by streamlining the process for advancing H.R. 12, which aims to safeguard a person’s right to decide on pregnancy continuation and healthcare providers’ ability to offer abortion services. It does not change abortion law but enables the House to proceed with voting on the underlying bill.
