The bill, passed on a 70-39 vote, puts in place sweeping new regulations and
insurance requirements for abortion providers; makes it a crime to coerce a
woman into having an abortion, and regulates the disposal of fetal remains.
Ari Adler, spokesman for Speaker of the House Jase Bolger, said:”They “will
not be recognised to speak on the House floor today after being gaveled down
for their comments and actions yesterday that failed to maintain the decorum
of the House of Representatives.”
“House Republicans often go beyond simply allowing debate by welcoming
open and passionate discussion,” he added. “The only way we can
continue doing so, however, is to ensure that the proper level of maturity
and civility are maintained on the House floor.”
State Rep. Lisa Lyons, R-Alto, supported the move. “I was personally
offended by Rep Lisa Brown’s disgraceful actions during Wednesday floor
debate,” she said. “I fully support Majority Floor Leader Jim
Stamas’ decision to maintain professionalism and order on the House floor.”
