Still... if we can save 95% or 0%... which is better?
...knows he's in for a very tough re-election fight due to having voted for DeathCare. He's vulnerable.
Well, that’ll stir up the ants.

“if we can save 95% or 0%” of pro-lifers from becoming morons ... which is better?
I’m waiting for Judie Brown to issue a scathing attack on the Congressmen who voted ‘yes’.
Explain, please.
JUDIE BROWN already attacking this bill 7 1/2 years ago:
Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kansas), with the encouragement of some national pro-life groups, introduced the bill (S.51) in the Senate last week. “Pro-lifers need to wake up and recognize that the more we concede, the further we are from really saving women and children from the tragedy of abortion,” said Brown. “Abortion is a violent act that must never be condoned, supported, promoted or excused. Because of this undeniable truth, American Life League cannot favor such a flawed concept as the one that is represented in the Unborn Child Pain Awareness Act.”
God save us from the A.L.L. morons.

This vote will mean nothing as far a law getting passed but it will provide an emotional “wedge issue” to keep Pro-Life supporters loyal to the GOP.
Voter guides will be published describing all those who voted for this as “Pro-Life” yet most abortions occur in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy.
In the past, the Pro-Life voter guides distributed at election time by the National Right To Life and its affiliates would describe someone who wanted abortion legal early in a pregnancy when 90 percent plus of them occur as “Pro-Abortion”.
Next year those who believe abortion should be legal early in pregnancy and are Pro-Abortion but voted for this will get “Pro-Life” labels put on them by the National Right To Life which has become a tool of the GOP Establishment.
Immoral, unconstitutional, lawless legislation.
Perry has a good image with his military service and promotes himself as a Patriot but I knew him as a loyal party man supporting the machine early in his political life.
He also backed away from supporting an ultrasound before an abortion bill in the state legislature that Pro-Abortion people were crying foul over.
That led to meetings with Pro-Life people to reassure them he was Pro-Life.
But in the early days Perry was loyal lieutenant of both the party chairman in York County (the late John Thompson Sr.) and former State Rep. Bruce Smith who Perry replaced in 2007.
Both those guys were hardcore Pro-Abortion.
by golly, maybe Nextrush is right. All the Representatives who voted ‘yes’ on this bill need to be defeated in 2014.
Make sense, Lex?
You are dead on.
This is a Karl Rove “wedge issue” to keep the religious conservative voters on the GOP plantation.
The Constitution imperatively, explicitly, requires the equal protection of the right to life of every person. No exceptions.
"No person shall be deprived of life without due process of law.""No State shall deprive any person of life without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
And its ultimate stated purpose is "to secure the Blessings of Liberty to Posterity."
Noun Synonyms pos·ter·i·ty
/päˈsteritē/
All future generations.
progeny - issue - offspring
Don't like the Constitution??? Change it.
Abortion is covered under the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Abortion is depriving a human being of life without due process. So it IS covered.
over here on the “pro-life legislation passed today” thread
Abortion is murder. But as evidenced by my previous post, I don't think that conservatives in Congress are serious about the bill, incumbents just using it to win votes for 2014 imo. If it passes the Senate then please send me a note.
Regarding the murder of those already born, and with all due respect to family and supporters of the late Terry Schiavo, the Supreme Court properly regarded her euthenasia as a state power issue imo. But as a consequence of probably not understanding 10th Amendment protected state sovereignty, I would be surprized if Florida voters have worked with their state's lawmakers to make Florida's life & death laws more compassionate for people like Terri.
Again, one of the main reasons that we are having problems with tyrannical federal and state governments is because low-information voters are not aware of the Founding States' division of federal and state government powers evidenced by the Constitution's Section 8 of Article I, Article V and the 10th Amendment.
Jim Matheson voted “AYE”, someone is ascared. Unless I was mistaken in thinking him ‘pro-choice’.
“Republicans who voted against the bill include Rep. Paul Broun of Georgia, Charlie Dent of Pennsylvania, Rodney Frelinghuysen of New Jersey, Richard Hanna of New York, Jon Runyan of New Jersey, and Rob Woodall of Georgia.”
What’s up with those GA libertarians? Broun is running for the Senate.
Spurs choked, the LeBums are gonna win.
I don’t know. I haven’t been following the news lately as closely as you have. I’m losing my home.
