Democrats block 20-week abortion ban

Senate Democrats on Tuesday blocked a Republican bill that would ban most abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy.

The measure failed to advance in a 54-42 vote, falling short of the 60 vote threshold needed.

The faithful are sealed on their foreheads by God before the Great Tribulation. God never promises us we will not have to walk in the valley of the shadow of death, but we have no need to fear because He is there with us. Remember Job and the three thrown into the oven by Nebuchadnezzar? They said if we die, we die. Whatever is the will of God.

Pray for the truth at the expense of any teaching you may have heard and read as close to the original text as you want. I use the NASB for study with a concordance.

Also, we get our armor on and train.

This is a dog and pony show by the Senate to win votes from low-information voters since the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for abortion purposes.

The ill-conceived 17th Amendment needs to disappear, and corrupt senators who vote on issues that they have no constitutional authority to address as well.

who do this morons think they are fooling?

Primary voters in Kentucky and Mississippi for starters.

That’s what my Congressman says — most Senators he talks to want to keep it. But, I think, that it subverts the Constitution and is ruining our country.

So, obviously, they want to kill fully formed babies.

There’s no other way to interpret this.

Put it in the “We all knew it” section.

Thanks, Mitch.

EXACTLY.

Had the Dems wanted to pass something, a simple majority would suffice. With US there, we need a supermajority to get anything done.

I blame the REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP for this one. They could get this through is they wanted it.
