Feb. 11, 2011 - H.R. 358 Introduced Without Statement of Constitutional Authority

The Subcommittee on Health held an open markup session on Friday, February 11, 2011 to consider H.R. 358. This bill, which is an attack on a woman's right to choose, was introduced without a valid statement of constitutional authority as required under the new House rules adopted in January. Ranking Member Waxman wrote a letter to Chairman Upton respectfully urging that the bill not be considered in Committee unless it is re-introduced with a proper citation of constitutional authority.
