In additional to complications from pregnancy resulting in a subsequent pre-existing condition, in a number of states, a woman who is the victim of domestic violence and suffers a disability would then have a pre-existing condition.....just one example.

Why no roll call....the House votes electronically; every vote is recorded in the Congressional Record.
