urge a NO vote on the COVID
relief bill that funds abortions
************* They voted early this morning to pass the “Rescue” bill
I watched
Then watched Schumer gloat about how much the dems are helping all of the people, rainbows and balloons and unicorn speech.
49-50
I don’t think calling can undo that
Or did I miss something?
I also watched them do a voice vote on two amendments, the nays were clearly louder than the yeas, but whoever it was at the desk said the ayes have it.
Obvious cheating
No GOP asked for a roll call vote. SPINELESS!
Rand Paul claims victory in fight over PPP money to Planned Parenthood in Senate COVID relief bill

GOP Sen. Rand Paul said Friday he was “successful” in preventing the Senate coronavirus relief bill from including a provision that would provide Paycheck Protection Program assistance to Planned Parenthoods across America, Fox News has learned.
The senator’s office on Friday said he “forced” Democrats to remove the provision that would have allowed every Planned Parenthood across America to receive funds through the PPP, which “was always intended for small businesses.”
“Democrats knew this was never about COVID relief or helping small businesses,” Paul, R-Ky., told Fox News. “It was a shameless attempt to fund their radical agenda on the taxpayers’ backs, and I was successful in preventing that from happening by stopping these funds from going to abortion mills.”
According to Paul’s office, the House-passed version of the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package included a provision that would treat individual Planned Parenthood locations as “separate and distinct entities,” making them eligible for federal assistance under the PPP.
Paul’s office pointed to the “original congressional intent” of the PPP — established last year at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic — which was to limit large and well-financed groups from receiving a loan and instead provide relief to small businesses affected by COVID-19.
Sources told Fox News that Senate Democrats had planned to waive affiliation rules for nonprofits to provide paycheck protection loans to Planned Parenthoods in the House version of the bill, but that Paul “strenuously” argued to the Senate parliamentarian that the waiver would “only benefit” Planned Parenthood.
Fox News has learned that before the parliamentarian was able to rule on the arguments presented, Democrats filed an updated version of the bill that did not include the provision, in what Paul’s office called “a concession that avoided setting a precedent.”
