Sadly, it shows that Ms. Hutchison is pro-abortion.
This was an amendment to an underlying bill offered by Sen. Harkin in 2003. The substance of the amendment is that it is a sense of the Senate resolution affirming that Roe was rightly decided and that there is a constitutional "right" to abortion.
Ms. Hutchison voted in favor of the amendment, endorsing Roe and a "right" to abortion.
She is a pro-abort, however moderate a pro-abort she may be.

Here is the URL for the actual text of the amendment:

You have to click a couple of times to get it from the initial link, and it wasn’t altogether obvious to me the first time or two where I needed to click.
Here it is.
If you still think this should go on the sidebar, you can express your preference to the mods.
I've also pinged a few folks who seemed interested in the discussion on Ms. Hutchison.

Has she ever issued an explanation of that vote and squared it with her other pro-life votes? I can think of one and only one explanation that might be acceptable but I’d like to hear hers first.
