Discussion: House Eyes Vote On 20-Week Abortion Ban As GOP Women Defect

Where else are they going to put it?
Since the do-nothing Republicans took over, the only things that DO get passed are the must-pass things!

Agreed, though there are probably Senate Democrats who fear that a vote to invoke cloture and bring a bill to a vote will be looked at by their base the same as actually voting for the passage of said bill.

As terrible for the women involved this bill with the rape reporting mandates would be, it get worst when combined with existing laws. For instance, here in Mi.if a woman is raped and she has that child even if the rapist is convicted for his crime when he gets out of prison he can sue for visitation. Now it would be up to the courts to decide if he gets it but this is one of the consequences of passing laws without rape or incest provisions. Now even as a man and a human I find myself horrified with this prospect Iā€™m not sure if these teabaglicons would consider this a plus or a minus for this bill. I think many of them would see it as a plus. All that extra humiliation and no charge.
