Yes but I believe the provision that it contained was that people who end up getting fines for their participation in pro life demonstrations cannot file them off in bankruptcy.

The reason conservatives joined liberals to defeat the bill was because the dims put the rider in there making pro lifers a separate and unequal group of Americans. I, for on, am glad it was defeated.
Pro Life conservative republican here.
