Good for her.

I watched Rick Perry and Santorum's campaigns for President particularly closely, as they seemed to be nothing short of a Christian Taliban. I must say, I would support anyone who would go against either of these two fundamentalists.

Sorry.

I read this thread on the night it happened and I've dipped in a few times since but I'm still not sure.

Did the Republican "after hours" vote thing stick?

Nope. Invalid. That's why they're trying again.

Much like Obamacare, the GOP will try again and again to go after something unreachable.

How is it off-topic? Anybody can just rationalize murder by pretending that their victim isn't an actual human being. We've seen it done across the world and throughout history. Jews weren't people. Gypsies weren't people. Now, our babies aren't people. It's just mindblowing how people try to find ways to justify murdering an innocent child.

I don't see how this thread is relevant to babies. Unless you don't know what babies are.

How many times have they tried to repeal it now? At least 37 now.

I have no idea. It should have been tabled for two years by now.

Yeah, I guess it isn't. I guess it wasn't a crime when the Japanese bayoneted fetuses while they were still in the womb or that Cuban doctors force mothers to abort their fetuses when there's any signs of defect. Nope. They're not human beings just like every other group who can't speak up for themselves.

Pro-choice is just a sugarcoated term to enable the murder of unborn children.

Last I checked, abortion was lawful.
