[Breitbart] The U.S. Senate on Monday rejected the “Women’s Health Protection Act,” a radical abortion bill aimed at enshrining abortion on-demand and up-to-birth in federal law as well as voiding all state laws aimed at protecting the lives of the unborn.
The measure, which needed 60 votes to bypass the filibuster, failed 46-48 with all but one Democrat voting in favor — Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV).
So not just a fail, but a big fail. And the Democratic Party leadership must have known it would when they put it up for a vote. | Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) — who has described himself as pro-life and whose father, former Pennsylvania Gov. Bob Casey, Sr. (D), took Planned Parenthood to the Supreme Court over abortion — voted in favor of the measure as well. |
