Two republicans are talking the abortion issue now. This is not the subject to push over and over. The bill has so many taxes that will affect everyone. Abortion is used to bash republicans as meddling in lives. One issue politics doesn't win votes or will stop this bill. Abortion will be in the bill whether it is cut out now or not.

A national emergency requiring the elections be "postponed". Or just plain old in your face fake elections.

* I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this—who will count the votes, and how. Stalin

o In Russian: Я считаю, что совершенно неважно, кто и как будет в партии голосовать; но вот что чрезвычайно важно, это - кто и как будет считать голоса.
o Said in 1923, as quoted in The Memoirs of Stalin's Former Secretary (1992) by Boris Bazhanov [Saint Petersburg] (Борис Бажанов. Воспоминания бывшего секретаря Сталина). (Text online in Russian).
o Variant (loose) translation: The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.
