The Senate’s rejection of the dubiously titled, “Women’s Health Protection Act” – legislation intended to enshrine abortion on-demand into law regardless of how the Supreme Court rules on Dobbs – was much closer than it should have been, but still a promising denunciation of a radical anti-woman and anti-life point-of-view.
Monday’s procedural vote would have required 60 votes to advance in the Senate. It received just 46 votes – all Democrats. Senator Joe Manchin (WV) was the lone Democrat who opposed the bill.
Senators Feinstein (D), Inhofe (R), Kennedy (R), Lujan (D), Paul (R) and Warnock (D) did not vote.
While this bill had no chance of passing, it was nevertheless a nod and attempt to appease the radical abortion lobby – many of whom are beginning to panic in the face of an increasingly pro-life electorate, along with a Supreme Court that appears inclined to allow state restrictions on abortion.
It’s telling when you have to use misleading terminology to try and soft sell a dark reality. Yesterday’s rejected legislation really had nothing to do with protecting women’s health. Do activists not realize at least half of all babies aborted are female? In fact, this bill had everything to do with codifying the destruction of innocent children’s health. It’s that simple and straightforward.
After decades and decades, momentum is finally moving in the direction of life. The Left is in a defenseless position. Just look at an ultrasound. Listen to a heartbeat of a pre-born child. Count the fingers and toes.
