The Senate voted 52 to 42 to attach the pro-life provision to a bill (S. 1200) that would reauthorize and extensively revise the laws governing Indian health programs. In the House, which is expected to deal with Indian health legislation in the near future, a similar amendment has been proposed by Congressman Joe Pitts (R-Pa.) NRLC Legislative Director Douglas Johnson commented, "We commend Senator Vitter for his leadership in attempting to close the door to future federal funding of abortion in federal Indian health programs. Now we have our work cut out for us in the House of Representatives, where we expect the Democratic leadership to try hard to block enactment of this pro-life language." The federal government funds a number of health programs for American Indians, which cover over two million persons. During the 1970s, the federal Indian Health Service paid for abortion on demand in these programs. The funding of abortions has been blocked since the early 1980s, but the pro-life policy has depended on annual renewal of a pro-life provision (the Hyde Amendment) to an annual appropriations bill. In contrast, the Vitter Amendment, if enacted into law, would permanently prohibit the providing of abortions in Indian health programs (except if necessary to save the life of the mother, or in cases of rape or incest), whether or not the Hyde Amendment is renewed in any given year. Forty-three (43) Republicans and nine Democrats voted for the Vitter Amendment, while three Republicans, 37 Democrats, and two independents voted against it. Of the six senators who were absent, three were considered to be supporters of the amendment, including Sen. John McCain (R-Az.), who was one of four cosponsors of the Vitter Amendment.
