Read the entire article underlying this thread and see that it notes paleoPaulie's four votes against bills that would make it a federal crime to transport girls across state lines to procure abortions. If Roe vs. Wade is overturned as it must be, then it will be necessary to enact federal laws to crack down on baby-killing. If paleoPaulie won't even vote for the sort of laws that would prohibit interstate travel for abortion (under the interstate commerce clause for the "constitutionalist" fussbudgets and fantasists), then he most certainly will not fight for such legislation as you cite since he also does not, according to the article, believe that abortion is a federal issue. Introducing legislation without actually seeking its enactment is, like press conferences, press releases and special orders speeches, just another form of pandering to the gullible.

That having been said, maybe paleoPaulie should singlemindedly devote himself to passage of this legislation rather than undermining our nation's foreign policy, cutting off funds from our troops at war, being Al Qaeda's major propagandist in Congress and in the GOP presidential debates, securing federal subsidies by earmark for shrimping, trolleys, buses, infrastructure and so forth. A remaining legislative career might yet become respectable if he emulated Wilberforce's determination against slavery in the Brit Parliament in promoting this bill. Why AM I confident that he will instead emulate Captain Ahab with our country and our troops as his great white whale?

Life: paleoPaulie was for it before he was against it before he was for it before he was against it.....
