"McConnell, hailing from Kentucky, has promised the Senate will vote on a House-passed bill that bans abortions after 5 months because scientific research shows unborn children can feel pain at that point in pregnancy."

I'm holding his feet to the fire on this one.

Only time will tell if this was the right decision. I have doubts.

It amazes me to this day that this is even discussed.

When Roe v. Wade was announced in January 1973 I distinctly recall that it applied only to the first trimester.

People bought this because of the “it’s only a mass of tissue” argument at that time.

I knew that was crap because I was a biology major that year and anyone who said something like that would fail Bio 101 Ontogeny: the development of a human is well known in the 12th week.

It’s a human, i.e., a “person” as the lawyers like to worry about. Oddly, I recall no law school students in my bio classes...

But we were all unaware of Doe v. Bolton.

The concept that you could fabricate a reason (”mother’s health”) to execute and dismember a child of say 20 weeks inside it’s mother and that was a “right” is absurd.

If you can do that, then infanticide is a right - the passage through the birth canal is of no importance.

It has nothing to do with when they can feel pain. They’re humans from the start.

I'm not holding my breath for much of anything to get done in the next two years.

Obama and the DemocRATS will veto or obstruct anything that rolls back progrees on their agenda.

If we haven't woken up by then, say hello to president Hillary and good bye to the America we used to know.

You'd better wear asbestos gloves, because you're going to be holding those feet for a loooooong time, IMO.

Does anyone know if the incoming republicans have a procedure to replace McConnell — something like a vote of no confidence? Is something like that in the realm of possibility (even if unlikely)?

This is too low a price to pay for destroying our country.

McConnell may derail the conservative agenda for six more years, joining the RINOs with the socialist Democrat agenda, because that is what his Unamerican multinational corporation masters at the Chamber of Commerce want.

McConnell sells our birthright for a mess of pottage.

So, say he gets his 5 months abortion ban. Obama will ignore him. But the cost of this nothing is:

1) Obamacare is set in concrete as the law of the land, killing millions deprived of decent health care, mostly the unborn, infants, and the elderly.

2) The economy is torn apart by grotesque spending, impoverishing millions more and creating trillions more in debt. What can we do, renounce the national debt?

3) The borders are opened wide, after McConnell lets Obama give millions of illegal aliens citizenship, and invites in millions more, until our nation is so impoverished that people are starving in the gutters, and even the illegal aliens return because their home nations are more prosperous.

Yes, but McConnell allows a worthless prohibition against abortion after the fifth month, that will be tied up in court for years.

America is forfeit because of people like him. May his name be cursed and when he dies may his body be torn apart by dogs for his villainy.
