About this vote

A motion to recommit sends a bill back to committee and is usually the minority's last chance to change it before the final vote. H.R. 6945 gives states clear legal authority to use Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds for pregnancy centers that, as described in the Congressional Research Service summary, support protecting the life of the mother and the unborn child and offer services such as relationship counseling, prenatal education, pregnancy testing, diapers, and baby clothes. The motion failed, so the bill was not sent back to committee.
