Ping for JimWayne's explanation!

The Minority Party will have one last chance to make amendments to the bill and can introduce it just before the vote. There will be a 10 minute debate on this and then the House votes to either send it back to the Committee or not. These votes are RECORDED.

Since they are recorded, most Dims who do not want to be associated with killing babies will vote for the amendment (so goes the thinking) and when it gets sent back to the Committee and they add the amended language and return the bill (all within minutes), the bill is now a totally different one from the Senate bill meaning that the Senate will have to vote on it again.

The suggestion here is that the Republicans should offer the Stupak language as the Motion to Recommit and either change the bill or force a recorded vote of their opposition to the amendment.
