"Mr. President, I move to amend the bill by amending the following."

No person shall be guilty of an offense under subsection (1) under the circumstances that the life of the pregnant woman was under threat, that the pregnancy is a result of an offense, or that either the pregnant woman or the fetus is at grave risk of death or disability if the fetus were to be born.

Senator Augusta Merriam
[Republican - State of New Hampshire]

"Mr. President, I move to amend the bill as submitted."

The amendment would be submitted to the chair and distributed amongst the members of the Senate.

Subsection 1 of section 2 shall be amended to read as follows:

1. Any person who willfully administers to any pregnant woman, after 20 weeks of gestation, any substance or uses or employs any instrument or other means to induce an abortion, abets or prescribes for the same, unless the same is permitted under this section and done for that purpose, shall be guilty of an offense and shall be fined under Title 18 of the U.S. Code or imprisoned not more than ten years or both.

Goldman hesitated, as she personally supported it but believed that leadership wouldn't be too happy about it...

She said, without much enthusiasm or noise:

"I second the motion, Mr. President."

Goldman hesitated, as she personally supported it but believed that leadership wouldn't be too happy about it...

She said, without much enthusiasm or noise:

She then turned back on her decision, realising that it would antagonise her with the rest of the Democratic Party bar the Blue Dogs.

"I revoke the second, Mr. President."

Congresswoman Diane Paulson
[Republican - Maine’s 2nd District]
Diane was a little bit annoyed that she didn’t get to speak on behalf of the bill, potentially making headlines benefitting her campaign. She would be having a word with the Rules committee about the procedural mistakes. Regardless, she voted. “Aye."

[Democrat - California's 28th District]
"Aye."

Representative Kathleen Nez
[Democratic - Arizona's 7th District]

Senator Colbert: "Mr. President, I second the amendment from the Gentlewoman from Wyoming and I object to the amendment by the Gentlewoman from New Hampshire. I second the motion to hold a vote on the bill."

Colbert thought about the bill for about two minutes, during witch time he concluded that it had zero chance of passing without an amendment.
Senator Colbert: "Mr. President, I switch to seconding the amendment from the Gentlewoman from New Hampshire."
