...and fails.
But, thanks for playing (not).
Today, Sen. Martinez of Florida proposed an amendment to HR 2, the reauthorization of the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP), reinstating the global gag rule (Mexico City Policy) in spite of the memorandum the President issued last Friday repealing it.
The amendment sought to ensure that "no funds authorized under part I of Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 for population planning activities or other population or family planning assistance may be made available for any private, nongovernmental, or multilateral organization that performs or actively promotes abortion as a method of birth control."
Abortion as a method of birth control? I mean, come on people.
It was voted on just after noon.
He lost. 60 to 37. Complete roll call vote here. Ah, change in Washington...
