desertvixenThe House passed this BS.
251 Representatives think that women should have no rights over their bodies. 236 of them were Republicans.
My personal Representative voted against it, thankfully. Not that it will matter in the long term.
To be honest, I don't see Obama signing this one. But it's possible they could override that.
And procedures aside, it's the fact that 251 Representatives of our government think women should not be allowed to make the most personal, intimate, life-impacting decision they CAN make - even if saying NO to abortion would literally kill her.
251 Representatives think women's lives ultimately have no real value.
WTF?
