The U.S. House voted 220-154 in favor of the D.C. Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act last night. The bill failed to pass because a two-thirds vote was needed under "suspension of the rules." The two-thirds vote would have been necessary to overturn President Obama's likely veto of the bill, which would ban abortions past 20 weeks in our nation's capital.
Some representatives were unable to vote because their planes were delayed as they tried to fly into Washington, D.C.
