Harry Reid and Barbara Boxer are two good reasons for retroactive abortions.

Just think how much better and safer the world would be without them. I’ll even throw up, or throw in, Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer (ah hell, all the Democrats in the Senate) as well.

Voting NO on the bill gives MCConnell the right to call the bill up again at a later time.

RE: Voting NO on the bill gives MCConnell the right to call the bill up again at a later time.

In other words, it was strategery ( as W. would say ).

But as I said before, even if ALL Republicans voted for the bill, it would still need 6 Democrats to get to the magic 60. Good luck with that.

God Bless Joe Manchin!

He has not abandoned those good oldfashioned values of the people of his state.

Yes—50% of them black.

Do black lives really matter to Democrats?

What does Planned Parenthood have to do with women’s health?

The end of it if one is a female baby in the womb.

No roll call yet. Another dark day for the Grand Old Party. They couldn’t get seven votes, and one of those votes was McConnell? Shameful. Shame on the Republicans.

they are therefore now complicit with the organization, and incur the same blood guilt as that organization.

The American taxpayers are likewise complicit and have incurred the same blood guilt. Senators can do nothing without taxpayer funds. Nothing.

Tell me, how did Reid get everything he wanted done by bending the rules and doing it with 51 votes? When McConnell starts playing the same way about something as important as funding murder and the sale of body parts, I’ll start listening.

Why do they make it so hard to find the vote tally? Its like stores that put the milk way in the back to get you to walk thru the entire store.

“”I’d guess Collins may be one.””

Nope - she introduced her own bill for the DOJ to INVESTIGATE PP but voted Yes...but not until she spread the same lies all the dems were spreading.

I wish whoever had choked her and left her with that awful voice had finished the job..

McConnell was the last vote - NO - and Kirk was the other R-No. I saw McConnell walk in like he had stayed away on purpose, cast his vote, then it was over and he went on immediately to introduce a cyber security bill.

Here’s the vote...http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=114&session=1&vote=00262

“”WTF is Ocare for??? Scuse my English””

That’s what I was screaming through the whole pitiful show. Had they never heard of or voted for obamacare which was to provide QUALITY HEALTH CARE for all regardless of station in life, race, sex, religion or whatever!!!

I have never witnessed more lies in one place than I saw today in that Senate chambers. The Republicans could have shoved their faces in most of those but I guess they have to pretend to be dignified. Why for crying out loud?? It doesn’t make any sense. Call a spade a spade - sorry if that offends anyone - HA! But then the facts the Republicans did manage to get out didn’t even phase those dem idiots - they may as well have saved their breath and I may as well have continued to do something useful.

About the same that public schools have to do with education.

As many others have already posted....

It’s ALL Kabuki Theatre. If the R’s truly wanted to defund PP, they would’ve attached this to the highway bill.

They didn’t. They’re lying traitors with blood on all of their hands.

And that still would not have been enough. You just can not pull the the rat votes out of the air and put them over to the Republican site if they don’t vote for it
