Here’s what’s going on.
The Senate recently approved funding for abortions in DC.
The Senate approved an omnibus spending bill on Sunday that would lift the 13-year-long ban on directly paying for abortions in the nation’s capital. The legislation, which President Barack Obama is expected to sign, also contains funding for Planned Parenthood and the UNFPA.
The Senate passed the bill, which funds several federal government departments, by a 57-35 vote, with Democrats backing the measure and most Republicans opposing it.
Passage of the measure today was no surprise given that Democrats won a filibuster battle on a narrow 60-34 vote that saw Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Thad Cochran of Mississippi and Richard Shelby of Alabama side with Democrats to move ahead to a vote on the bill.
Note that many of D.C. residents are black. Note, too, the blackmail pressure put on lawmakers by the CBC. Could this be, albeit a different house in Congress, a play to the CBC by senators?
Note also that Collins and Shelby also voted for this. WTF?!?!?!
And republicans wonder why they are losing constituents?
Barack Obama, defender of infanticide, is expected to sign it:
