Casey (PA) and Manchin (WV) need phone calls. (Re: Women's Health Protection Act)

[RandomNumbers]

They are missing from the co-sponsor list of the Senate version of the Women’s Health Protection Act of 2021

This is the bill in response to the craven TX law.

We need every Dem senator to get on board. (Then we need to exclude basic constitutional rights from the filibuster. But even that doesn't help if we don't have every D. We might get Murkowski but we can be sure Collins will have "concerns".)

Also check co-sponsors for the House bill and make sure your Congress Critter is there.

1. C'mon you guys!

You gotta vote with the Democrats sometime . . . . . .

2. Casey isn't as much of a DINO as Manchin

but he has been a little wishy-washy on reproductive rights, sigh.

Pennsyltucky.

3. Despite his former-governor father doing such, I don't thing Casey Jr. is going to block it

He might not be "on record" as a co-sponsor, but NARAL has him at a 72% - https://www.prochoiceamerica.org/representative/bob-casey/ vs Teabagger Toomey who is a 0% - https://www.prochoiceamerica.org/representative/patrick-toomey/

Planned Parenthood has him at a 65% - https://www.plannedparenthoodaction.org/congressional-scorecard#PA/432/ vs Teabagger Toomey who merits their 0% - https://www.plannedparenthoodaction.org/congressional-scorecard#PA/590/

Apparently an earlier attempt at the GOP trying to put a ban through the Senate (late-term abortions), Toomey and Manchin voted for cloture on it where Collins and Murkowski voted against cloture (and the bill went nowhere, unable to get the 60 votes), So it is possible that Collins & Murkowski would vote to advance this particular bill for reproductive rights.

Of course like anything else, it's back to the pesky "60 votes" to begin debate (invoke cloture).

4. Why? That bill won't pass the Senate...neither of these guys will be helped co-sponsering this

bill.
