Saxby Chambliss, an incredibly conservative Republican has been once again been elected as the senator of Georgia, one of his main supporters being Sarah Palin. Since we can't change the fact that we have a conservative senator at this point, we can only try to sway his voting records by letting him know that comprehensive programs are what the state of Georgia needs and wants. Judging by the voting records posted below, it will be a hard task but nothing is impossible. He doesn't believe in abortions, but refuses to provide funding that would help to prevent unwanted pregnancies. Personally, I don't understand the logic behind that. The main vote that stands out to me is the second one. Let's work even harder to make that NO a YES.
* Voted YES on barring HHS grants to organizations that perform abortions. (Oct 2007)
* Voted NO on $100M to reduce teen pregnancy by education & contraceptives. (Mar 2005)
* Voted YES on funding for health providers who don't provide abortion info. (Sep 2002)
* Voted YES on banning Family Planning funding in US aid abroad. (May 2001)
* Voted YES on banning partial-birth abortions. (Apr 2000)
* Voted YES on barring transporting minors to get an abortion. (Jun 1999)
* Rated 0% by NARAL, indicating a pro-life voting record. (Dec 2003)
* Rated 100% by the NRLC, indicating a pro-life stance. (Dec 2006)
