Senate Democrats vote for unfettered abortion

Senate Democrats recently voted in favor of a bill that would legalize abortion – nationwide -- for all nine months of pregnancy. That’s right, up to the very moment of birth, if necessary. The “Women’s Health Protection Act” received support from 49 of the 50 non-Republicans in the Senate, though it ultimately failed to succeed. The bill would have given health care providers the "right" to provide abortion services with very few requirements or limitations.

In fact, according to the WHPA's text, health care providers would have been given the green light to perform abortions without "a prohibition on abortion at any point or points in time prior to fetal viability" or "a requirement that a patient seeking abortion services at any point or points in time prior to fetal viability disclose the patient’s reason or reasons for seeking abortion services." No valid reason? No problem! No inhibitions, no prohibitions.

The measure would have removed protections for religious liberties, thereby going against the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which would have been unprecedented, as pro-choice Maine Republican Susan Collins’s office noted in a statement saying, "Congress has never before adopted legislation that contains an exemption to this religious liberty law."

So why limit abortion to the roughly nine months of pregnancy? Or even to the few short hours after birth?

Democrats always have a carrot on a stick for a vote and after elected beat you with it.

Of course it is until the moment of birth - they make more money selling finished baby parts.

(I can't even say that out loud without gagging.)

“Who was the “Republican” who voted for it?”

The Georgia Kraken Twins, Sydney & Lyn, accept conservative gratitude for producing such votes in Congress.

The bill only got 49 votes so I guess only 49 of the 50 democrats and no Republicans voted for the bill.
