Video recording primarily featuring House consideration for the AuCoin amendment for abortion rights
-
Description
-
A compilation of video clips featuring remarks and votes on the US House of Representatives floor in 1992. Congressman Les AuCoin notably appears at the very beginning of the video, discussing a Rules Committee rule that prevented amendments from being debated and voted on on the House floor. At the 12:00 minute mark, AuCoin advocates for a pro-arms control amendment of his which centered around the US disarming their tactical nuclear weapons. From the 22:00 minute mark on, House consideration takes place on what is referred to as the "AuCoin amendment" -- at the 38:50 minute mark, AuCoin explains this amendment, which seemed to have proposed clarifications for the Military Health Care Initiatives Act of 1992 and strengthened abortion rights for military women serving abroad.
