Senate rejects Nelson amendment on abortion

[benjibrowder]

Schocked!!! SHOCKED I TELL YOU!!!! /sarc

Kill the Bill.

[BGHater]

Dems way out. Allows them to save face.

[OldDeckHand]

Well, does that mean that Nelson will vote “no” on the floor? We will see. It also makes Olympia Snowe, and her evil twin sister Collins, all the more important.

[C19fan]

Reid will target the 2 Maine RINOS.

[NormsRevenge]

Yup. Get ready for another Snowe job.

[dfwgator]

"RINO Twin Powers....ACTIVATE!"

[jessduntno]

“Yup. Get ready for another Snowe job.”

Or something that rhymes with one...

[C19fan]

LOL!!! Sad but true.

[onyx]

Failed to pass 54-45.

[BelleAl]

Does anyone know who voted against? I’m referring to the supposed “blue dogs” here.

[jazusamo]

We’ll find out if Nelson sticks to his guns.

[Thebaddog]

Do Senators Snowe or Collins make a difference here?

[jazusamo]

Hiya, onyx! Good to “see” you, it’s been awhile. :-)

[onyx]

Yep! Good to see you too!

[icwhatudo]

Seven Democrats supported the stiffer restrictions, while two Republicans — Maine Sens. Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe_ voted with the Democrats.

[freekitty]

Flush this bill down the toilet.

[MuttTheHoople]

Democrats LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE Dead Babies!

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

Well, does that mean that Nelson will vote “no” on the floor?

I predict he will vote for it. NEVER, EVER trust or believe a Democrat--NEVER!!! If he really cared about the pro-life issue he would not be a Democrat in the first place. He's another lying Democrat!!

[Blood of Tyrants]

The vote was to table the amendment which in effect kills the bill. Snowe and Collins vote to table.
