I was just kind of mad when the Senate voted for the abortion ban

[La_Serpiente]

so I am putting a list of the Senators that voted for it and against it.

Democrats for it: Bayh, Biden, Breaux, Byrd, Dorgan, Johnson, Miller, Nelson, Pryor, Reid, Leahy (Why did he vote for it???? I thought he was in a Liberal state??/) Lincoln, Conrad, and Daschle. Both our minority leader and minority whip voted for it.

Now, here are the Republicans who voted against it:

Chafee, Collins, Snowe.

Why the hell are these Republicans still in the Republican party? Even Chafee. He is probably a liberal.

And who were the absent ones???

Edwards and Hutchinson.

Where was Edwards? Has he ever voted on a Abortion vote anyone?

Nevermind, I found Edwards record on abortion:

He voted NO on the Partial Birth Abortion Ban in 2001 I think.

So at least he has a record.

1. They're the 3 republicans

who are still moderate and haven't joined the right-wing fundie band wagon.

As for the dems, I want to puke. I saw Gephardt on hardball saying "I am against P.B.A's, but would not sign a bill that didn't give exceptions to women whose lives were in danger"

And yet the hypocritical bastard voted yes on the ban without exception...

WTFiznuck???

2. Pryor and Lincoln

Voted YES! Holy SHIT! I am so pissed right now! How could they do that????? I knew my asshole Senator Fitzgerald would vote for it but, Daschle, Leahy and BYRD? AND a WOMAN!!!!! Landrieu! What was she thinking? Has she no idea what we women have had to fight to keep abortion legal? <sigh>
