A criticism of this article I would make is that the article named the Democrat who backed the pro-life amendment, but didn’t name and shame the pro-abortion Republicans who backed the majority.
For the record, they were:
Collins (R-ME)
Murkowski (R-AK)
Snowe (R-ME)
Specter (R-PA)
Shameful.
So much for Casey (D-PA) being pro-life.
The Republican defectors are highly significant, because they allowed the pro-abortion majority to reach the 60-vote total needed to accomplish anything in the Senate.
And I tremble for our country when I reflect that God is just...

I would like to know what this will cost taxpayers. Does anyone have access to factual figures? With all of our problems do we need to be funding the killing of babies around the world? I have a great problem with this!
Welcome to FR! Hang on for the ride. It’s gonna be a long 4 years. Clinton was a nightmare, Obama is worse.

I swear why is it Collins and Snowe even call themselves Republicans?
