This was 100% a safe vote for every one of them. It never had a chance of getting to 60, which is why it got as far as it did. Those who needed to burnish their pro life bona fides in an election year, got to do just that. Yay. Democracy. Woohoo. Great. The bill was sponsored by the brave Senator Lindsey Graham. So very brave. S.C. should feel good about continuing to send him to Washington. Great.
If they really wanted to, Senate Republicans would nuke the filibuster and pass Ron Paul's 2005 Sanctity of Life Act.
The Sanctity of Life Act completely removes abortion from federal purview, meaning it automatically returns to the states and no federal judge can strike down a state's abortion law ever again.
I'm afraid most of the pro-life movement has become nothing more than a fundraising and GOTV arm of the GOP.
