Dems lose fight to ease abortion restrictions – Capitol Hill- msnbc.com
Lacking votes and itching to close out the congressional session for the year, Dems fail to pass abortion provision and lash out at Bush the Malfeasor instead. Some notable quotes:
“This dogmatic adherence to an illogical position diminishes our influence around the world and prevents us from working effectively to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS and unintended pregnancies and reduce abortions,” said Rep. Nita Lowey, D-N.Y., chairwoman of the House State and Foreign Operations Appropriations subcommittee.
. . .and. . .
“It is unconscionable for a president to ignore the majority of the members of Congress, the majority of Americans and the best interests of millions of human beings because he is blinded by his own narrow beliefs,” said Amy Coen, president of Population Action International. “Today, the shadow of one man darkens the lives of so many.”
Unconscionable!
