Some Members of the House suggested that the bill was put forth by pro-life backers in order to force pro-choice members to support at least one piece of anti-abortion legislation before the November election. If that was the case, for whatever it's worth the plan worked as many pro-choice Members voted for the bill.

What bill are you referring to? Is this one that the baby killer Obama would have voted against as well? |
