                          PERSONAL EXPLANATION

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JOHN A. YARMUTH

                              of kentucky

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 19, 2013

  Mr. YARMUTH. Mr. Speaker, I was in my district participating in the 
groundbreaking of the downtown crossing of the Ohio River Bridges 
Project during the series of recorded votes leading up to final passage 
of H.R. 1797, the so-called Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. 
Had I been present I would have voted no on H.R. 1791 because this 
legislation would endanger the health of women and chip away at a 
woman's right to choose.
  Consideration of H.R. 1797 and General Debate of H.R. 1947--Motion on 
Ordering the Previous Question on the Rule: roll No. 248; ``no'';
  Rule Providing for Consideration of H.R. 1797 and General Debate of 
H.R. 1947--H. Res. 266: roll No. 249; ``no'';
  Passage of Suspension Bill--H.R. 1151: roll No. 250; ``yes''; and
  Final Passage--H.R. 1797: roll No. 251; ``no.''
