...Props to Sen. Frank Lautenberg for this in his floor statement.

When it comes to women, they don’t get rights. They get restrictions… I have five daughters and eight granddaughters, and the one thing I worry about more than anything else is their health. I like to see their happy faces. I like to see them feeling good… So I want them to have doctors making decisions, not some employer who has a self-righteous moral view that he wants to impose on my daughter, my granddaughter, my wife. Nuh uh. On our side of the aisle, we believe that women are capable of making their own healthcare decisions.

1. That's right...

TRUST WOMEN!!

[Robbins]

2. I agree

Let's see how some of these men who want to restrict women's rights would like It If helath care plans wouldn't cover Viagra.

3. We need more courageous Congress-people like Sen. Lautenberg to lay the smack down on these clowns.

4. good statement

totally agree

[surfdog]

5. Fuck that selfish prick

His statement clearly tells us that he's taking this position for selfish reasons

the guy filibusters every fucking bill , we know where this idiot stands

Without daughters and granddaughters he would be supporting the bill

We have seen this all before

[fadedrose]

6. A lot of them don't even care about the women in their families...

so he still a notch up regardless of why he doesn't support a bill...

The real selfish pricks are the ones who don't even care about their wives, daughters, mothers, etc....

8. his statement tells me he's exposing and shaming them

for not caring about or respecting their own daughters and granddaughters rights.

9. Um

What the fuck are you talking about?

[LiberalAndProud]

11. sarcasm tag implied?

Please tell me you're not serious.

12. You are likely thinking of someone else - Lautenberg is a very good liberal

and he is never a part of Republican filibusters. I have heard my Senator speak and he is a very very good guy.

[surfdog]

13. Your right

I was thinking of someone else

[hifiguy]

14. Probably Moldy Joe Lieberman

Same part of the country, "L" last name.
