The Senate failed this evening to pass the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which would’ve banned abortions after 20 weeks, after Democrats filibustered the bill. In a 51–46 vote, the bill failed to make it out of debate and to a final floor vote.

Shame on those self righteous old women.
Durbin quote on abortion in 1982
My record of opposition to abortion on demand has been public record for eight years. Long before my opponent moved to this district I worked closely with Springfield Right-toLife and served as master of ceremonies at the annual banquet. As recently as this January I was honored to serve again as Master of Ceremonies at the annual Observance in the State Capitol for the fifth time.
So, it is interesting to see that Planned Parenthood, perhaps the most unbending, rigid outfit when it comes to demand an absolute right for a woman to have an abortion without any attempt to balance a child's right to life, is presenting Durbin with a "Lifetime Achievement Award." Durbin also stated. ---A right to abortion is not secured by this Constitution. The Congress and the several States shall have concurrent power to restrict and prohibit abortions. Provided, That a provision of law of a state which is more restrictive than a conflicting provision of a law of Congress shall govern.

Until either that happens or the nuclear option is employed, bills cannot be passed. Maybe in 2019.

pure evil.....” vengence is mine, saith The Lord”.....there will be a time of reaping .
Can someone answer me why they need more than 51 votes?
And yet, they want to import millions of people from other countries.
60 votes needed for Cloture
Dems filibustered
Always wonder what the progressives would do if someone started doing late term abortions on dogs?????
You know they would go ballistic.
Thanks.
“it is past time to have a conservative party and make the GOP the minority third party”
In theory that would be great. In reality, the Democrats would win even more then they are especially in 2017-2018.
[60 votes needed for Cloture

If the LIFE of the UNBORN really mattered to the GOP SENATE, they would have done away with the 60 vote rule.
Tell when there is a good time to start or are you happy with the way things are going. I have been seeing this BS since 92. The GOP is practically worthless. The time to start is when Trump is re-elected and then try to be ready with a president for 2024 when people like Booker and Harris will rum and the re-ubs will have squat
The super majority “rule” of 60 votes for cloture screwed it all up once again. All by design.
The House has been fine. We have some RINOs yes but we have overall a good House that sends good bills. The Senate is the mess. Please understand that we have two parts of the Congress. I think you confuse the two.
Conservatives exist as part of the Republican party
There are not enough conservative purists to support a cable news channel, much less pass a bill in the congress
