Heck Voted To Prohibit Abortions In D.C. After 20 Weeks Of Pregnancy, Except When Woman’s Life Was Endangered. In July 2012, Heck voted for a: “Franks, R-Ariz., motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill that would prohibit abortions in the District of Columbia after 20 weeks of pregnancy, except when the woman’s life is endangered. The bill would impose reporting requirements for any abortions performed prior to the 20-week threshold. Violators would be subject to fines or imprisonment, with a maximum two-year sentence. The measure would prohibit the prosecution of the woman obtaining the abortion.” The bill was rejected 220-154. [CQ, 7/31/12, H.R. 3803, Vote 539, 7/31/12]

• LVRJ’s Steve Sebelius: Heck Co-Sponsored And Voted For Bill That Outlawed All Abortions in Washington D.C. After 20 Weeks With “No Exception In The Bill For Rape Or Incest.” In a column for the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Steve Sebelius wrote, “But back in 2012, Heck voted for another bill, one that didn’t contain those exceptions. […] At issue is HR 3803, the District of Columbia Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. The bill — which failed to muster a two-thirds vote to overcome a procedural hurdle in July 2012 — would have outlawed all abortions in Washington, D.C., after 20 weeks, except those to save a pregnant woman’s life. There is no exception in the bill for rape or incest. And Heck not only voted for it (along with fellow Republican Rep. Mark Amodei), but was a co-sponsor.” [Las Vegas Review-Journal, Steve Sebelius, 8/28/13]

Heck Co-Sponsored District Of Columbia Pain-Capable Unborn Child Act.

Trent Franks (R-Ariz.), the sponsor of the bill, said the 20-week ban is based on medical evidence that fetuses can feel pain at that point. ‘This is a bill to protect children from being torturously dismembered while they are fully capable of feeling pain,’ he told his colleagues during a mark-up of the bill on Wednesday.” [Huffington Post, 7/18/12]

HECK VOTED FOR 20-WEEK ABORTION BAN THAT WAS CALLED THE “MOST FAR-REACHING ABORTION LEGISLATION IN THE HOUSE IN A DECADE”

Heck Voted To Create A Nationwide Ban On Abortions Performed At 20 Weeks Or Later, Except In Cases Where The Life Of The Woman Is In Danger; The Ban Would Impose Criminal Penalties On Doctors Who Violate It, Which Could Include A Maximum Five-Year Jail Sentence, Fines Or Both. In June 2013, Heck voted for: “Passage of the bill that would create a nationwide ban on abortions performed at 20 weeks or later, except in cases where the life of the woman is in danger. It would provide exceptions to the ban in cases of pregnancy resulting from rape or incest against a minor, if it has been reported to law enforcement or a government agency authorized to act on reports of child abuse. It also would impose criminal penalties on physicians who violate the ban and subject violators to a maximum five-year jail sentence, fines or both.” The bill passed by a 228-196 vote. [CQ, 6/18/13; H.R. 1797, Vote 251, 6/18/13]

• Heck Voted In Favor Of 20-Week Abortion Ban. “The House of Representatives voted Tuesday to ban abortions after 20 weeks, with the Nevada delegation split down the party line. Nevada Reps. Joe Heck and Mark Amodei voted for the bill, which would shorten the term in which a woman may decide to terminate her pregnancy from the ‘viable’ standard defined by the Supreme Court in its 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. Viability of a fetus is usually estimated to be around 24 weeks.” [Las Vegas Sun, 6/18/13]

• Politico: The Bill Was The “Most Far-Reaching Abortion Legislation In The House In A Decade.” “The House Tuesday passed a bill that would ban most abortions nationwide after 20 weeks. The most far-reaching abortion legislation in the House in a decade, it was passed 228-196, mostly along party lines.” [Politico, 6/18/13]

HECK VOTED FOR 20-WEEK ABORTION BAN THAT WOULD IMPOSE CRIMINAL PENALTIES ON DOCTORS WHO PERFORMED ABORTIONS

Heck Voted For Bill To Prohibit Abortions After 20 Weeks With Exceptions That Included Criminal Penalties For Doctors Who Violate It.  In May 2015, Heck voted for: “Passage of the bill that would prohibit abortions in cases where the probable age of the fetus is 20 weeks or later and would impose criminal penalties on doctors who violate the ban. It would provide exceptions for cases in which the woman’s life is in danger as well as for pregnancies that are a result of rape if, as amended, for pregnancies that are a result of rape against an adult woman, the woman received counseling or medical treatment for the rape at least 48 hours prior to the abortion. An exception would be provided for pregnancies resulting from rape or incest against a minor if the rape or incest had been previously reported to law enforcement or another government agency authorized to act on reports of child abuse. As amended, the bill would require a second doctor trained in neonatal resuscitation to be present for abortions where the fetus has the ‘potential’ to survive outside the womb, and, if the fetus is born alive, the bill would require that the infant be provided medical care and immediately be transported and admitted to a hospital. As amended, women wishing to have abortions under the bill’s exceptions would need to sign (along with the doctor and a witness) an informed consent authorization form detailing the age of the fetus and stating that, if born alive, would be given medical assistance and transported to a hospital.” The bill passed by a vote of 242-184.

[…] The vote in favor of the bill was 220-154, with 17 Democrats joining 203 Republicans to support it.

HECK & HOUSE REPUBLICANS WERE WILLING TO SHUT DOWN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OVER PLANNED PARENTHOOD FUNDING

ABC News: House Republicans “Passed Two Bills Attacking Planned Parenthood” As Part Of A “Fight Over The Organization’s Funding That Could End In A Government Shutdown.” “House Republicans, as expected, passed two bills attacking Planned Parenthood today in an attempt by party leaders to placate conservatives angling for a fight over the organization’s funding that could end in a government shutdown. […]The first bill, from Rep. Diane Black, R-Tennessee, would freeze federal funding to Planned Parenthood for a year while Congress continues investigating the organization. It passed in a party line vote, with 241 yeas, 187 nays, and 1 present vote.” [ABC News, 9/18/15]

CNN: House Republicans Advanced Bills They Hoped Would Give Them “A Chance To Act On Their Opposition To Planned Parenthood Funding” Despite Having “No Plan To Avoid A Government Shutdown.” “Although House Republican leaders still have no plan to avoid a government shutdown, they moved forward Friday with a pair of votes on abortion-related legislation they hope give conservatives a chance to act on their opposition to Planned Parenthood.” [CNN, 9/18/15]

• Headline: “As Shutdown Looms, House Republicans Advance Abortion Bills” [CNN, 9/18/15]

MSNBC: House GOP Voted To Pass Government-Funding Bill That Defunded Planned Parenthood, “Setting The Stage For A Possible Government Shutdown.” “The Republican-controlled House of Representatives passed on Friday the Defund Planned Parenthood Act, 248-177. The bill strips the women’s health provider of its funding for contraception, pap smears, and testing for sexually-transmitted infections, unless it stops performing abortions. President Barack Obama has vowed to veto the bill, setting the stage for a possible government shutdown. Some congressional Republicans have vowed not to vote for any budget that includes funding for the organization.” [MSNBC, 9/18/15]

Facing Government Shutdown, Heck Voted Five Times To Defund Planned Parenthood:

• USA Today: GOP Forced Several Votes On Bill To Cut Planned Parenthood Funding, Even Though The Fight “Has So Far Prevented Congress From Making Any Further Progress On Talks To Keep The Government Open.” “Republicans will force several votes on the House floor Friday to cut federal funding for Planned Parenthood and transfer that money to other women’s health services, but there does not appear to be any path to get the bills through the Senate. […]The House is voting Thursday and Friday on a bill offered by Reps. Dianne Black, R-Tenn., and Renee Ellmers, R-N.C., that would cut all federal funding to Planned Parenthood for a year and transfer the $235 million to community health centers and other qualified facilities. Republicans argue that these centers provide all the services Planned Parenthood provides — except for abortions. […] The Planned Parenthood fight has so far prevented Congress from making any further progress on talks to keep the government open.” [USA Today, 9/17/15]

• Heck Voted For A Bill That Barred Federal Funding For Planned Parenthood And Its Affiliates. In September 2015, Heck voted for: “Foxx, R-N.C., motion to order the previous question (thus ending debate and possibility of amendment) on the rule (H Res 421) that would provide for floor consideration of the bill (HR 3134) that would bar, for one year, federal funding for Planned Parenthood and its affiliates unless they certify that they will not perform abortions during that period, and the bill (HR 3504) that would require health care practitioners to give the same level of care to an infant born alive during a failed abortion as they would give to any other infant born at the same gestational age, and would set criminal fines and penalties for not doing so.” The motion was agreed to 243-183. [CQ, 9/17/15; H.Res.421, Vote 502, 9/17/15]

[CQ, 9/17/15; H.Res.421, Vote 503, 9/17/15]

• House Passed Bill That Would Strip Federal Funding From Planned Parenthood, But Republicans Still Threatened Government Shut Down. “The House passed two abortion-related bills Friday, including one that would strip federal health-care funding from Planned Parenthood for one year, but it remains unclear whether the votes would appease conservatives who have threatened a government shutdown over the organization. […] That’s why the move is unlikely to stave off growing fears of a government shutdown on Oct. 1. Since House conservatives know the bill to defund Planned Parenthood is unlikely to be enacted, they’re unlikely to back off their desire to attach it to a must-pass government spending measure to keep the government open. […] The other, the Defund Planned Parenthood Act, imposes a one-year moratorium on federal funding for the group, which Republicans say will allow for a thorough investigation of its practices. Any funding, supporters said, would be redirected to clinics that do not offer abortions.” [Washington Post, 9/18/15]

• September 2015: Heck Voted On A One-Year Ban Of Federal Funding For Planned Parenthood And Its Affiliates. In September 2015, Heck voted for: “Passage of the bill that would bar, for one year, federal funding for Planned Parenthood and its affiliates unless they certify that, during that period, they will not perform abortions or provide funds to other entities that perform abortions. The prohibition would apply to all federal funds, including Medicaid. The bill would provide exceptions for abortions provided in the case of rape, incest, or threat to the life of the mother. As amended, the bill would effectively redirect funds from Planned Parenthood to the community health center program; specifically, it would appropriate $235 million for community health centers, in addition to any other funds available to the program.” The bill passed by a 241-187 vote. [CQ, 9/18/15; H.R. 3134, Vote 505, 9/18/15]

• Reuters: House Voted To Defund Planned Parenthood “With The Goal Of Attaching It To A Stopgap Funding Bill To Keep Federal Agencies Operating In The Fiscal Year That Begins On Thursday.” “The U.S. House of Representatives, continuing its fight against women’s healthcare provider Planned Parenthood, on Wednesday voted to strip the organization of its funding.  In a mostly partisan vote of 241-185, House Republicans passed the measure with the goal of attaching it to a stopgap funding bill to keep federal agencies operating in the fiscal year that begins on Thursday.  But the Senate is not expected to approve the Planned Parenthood defunding, thus leaving the temporary government spending measure untouched as it moves through Congress.” [Reuters, 9/30/16]

• Heck Voted To Provide Floor Consideration Of A Bill That Was The Legislative Vehicle For A Stopgap CR That Would Insert Planned Parenthood Provision Into Bill Before It Was Sent To The President. In September 2015, Heck voted for: “Adoption of the rule (H Res 448) that would provide for floor consideration of the bill (HR 719) that would require the Transportation Security Administration to classify individuals as criminal investigators eligible for law enforcement benefits, is the legislative vehicle for a stopgap continuing resolution, and the concurrent resolution (H Con Res 79) that would require the House enrolling clerk to add language to the CR defunding Planned Parenthood before it is sent to the president.” The rule passed by a 239-187 vote.

HECK VOTED TO BLOCK CONSIDERATION OF THE PAYCHECK FAIRNESS ACT

Heck Voted To Block Consideration Of Paycheck Fairness Act. In April 2013, Heck voted for a: “Foxx, R-N.C., motion to order the previous question (thus ending debate and possibility of amendment) on the rule (H Res 146) that would provide for House floor consideration of the bill that would require the National Labor Relations Board to cease all activities that require a quorum of members until certain conditions are met. “The Previous Question would amend the rule to allow for consideration of the Paycheck Fairness Act (H.R. 377), which strengthens the Equal Pay Act by closing loopholes and imposing effective penalties on employers who discriminate based on gender.” The motion passed by 226-192.

Heck Voted To Block Consideration Of Paycheck Fairness Act. In May 2013, Heck voted for a: “Foxx, R-N.C., motion to order the previous question (thus ending debate and possibility of amendment) on the rule (H Res 198) that would provide for House floor consideration of the bill that would allow private-sector employers to offer workers compensatory time off instead of overtime pay, at a rate of 1.5 hours per hour of overtime work.” “The Previous Question would amend the rule to allow for consideration of the “Paycheck Fairness Act” (H.R. 377) which bolsters the Equal Pay Act by closing loopholes and imposing effective penalties on employers who discriminate based on gender.” The motion passed by 230-198. [CQ, 5/7/13, H.Res.198, Vote 132, 5/7/13; 113^th Congress Previous Questions]

Heck Voted Against Requiring Business To Pay Female Employees Equal Wages For Equal Work In Order To Deduct Employee Wages As A Qualified Research Expense And To Give Priority To Unemployed American Workers, Particularly Veterans When Hiring. In May 2014, Heck voted against a: “Kirkpatrick, D-Ariz., motion to recommit the bill to the House Ways and Means Committee and report it back immediately with an amendment that would require businesses to pay female employees equal wages for equal work in order to deduct employee wages as a qualified research expense and to give priority to unemployed American workers, particularly veterans when hiring. It also would prohibit eligible companies from outsourcing jobs to foreign countries. It would stipulate that nothing in the bill would result in an increase in the federal deficit.” The motion was rejected by a 191-209 vote. [CQ, 5/9/14; Motion to Recommit H.R. 4438, Vote 210, 5/9/14]

Paycheck Fairness Act Would Work To Narrow The Wage Gap Bu Updating The Equal Pay Act. “More than fifty years ago, President Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act (EPA) into law, making it illegal for employers to pay unequal wages to men and women who perform substantially equal work. At the time of the EPA’s passage in 1963, women earned merely 59 cents to every dollar earned by men. Although enforcement of the EPA as well as other civil rights laws has helped to narrow the wage gap, significant disparities remain and need to be addressed. Today, women make, on average, only 78 cents for every dollar earned by men. The Paycheck Fairness Act, introduced in both the House (H.R. 1619) and the Senate (S. 862), would update and strengthen the EPA in important ways, including:  Improving Equal Pay Act Remedies The Act toughens the remedy provisions of the EPA by allowing prevailing plaintiffs to recover compensatory and punitive damages. The EPA currently provides only for liquidated damages and back pay awards, which tend to be insubstantial. The change would put gender-based wage discrimination on an equal footing with discrimination based on race or ethnicity, for which full compensatory and punitive damages are already available.” [National Women’s Law Center, 5/29/15]

• The Paycheck Fairness Act Would Have Required Employers To Find A Reason For Pay Gaps When Asked And Bar Companies From Retaliating Against Employees Who Discuss Pay. “Supporters of the Paycheck Fairness Act had hoped to build on the Equal Pay Act of 1963, and more recently the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009, by requiring employers to provide a reason for pay gaps when asked, and bar companies from retaliating against employees who discuss pay.” [Boston Globe, 6/5/12]
