Lawmakers voted 48-46 against cloture \u2014 against ending debate and allowing a vote on the the misnamed Women\u2019s Health Protection Act. As a result the filibuster against the radical pro-abortion legislation was sustained and the bill is defeated, as 60 votes were necessary to move ahead to a vote on the bill.<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Democrat leaders and many mainstream news outlets portray the bill as an effort to simply \u201ccodify the right to an abortion\u201d in the U.S. in response to the likelihood that the Supreme Court will overturn&#0160;<em>Roe v. Wade<\/em> later this year. The bill would:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<ul>\n<li>Eliminate all state and federal parental consent laws in relation to abortion<\/li>\n<li>Eliminate all state informed consent laws, including those that allow women to view an ultrasound prior to abortion<\/li>\n<li>Prevent states from passing laws to protect babies at 20 weeks, thereby joining countries like North Korea, China, Vietnam, Singapore, Canada, and the Netherlands in not protecting unborn children later in development<\/li>\n<li>Force doctors and nurses opposed to abortion to lose their jobs, and Catholic hospitals could lose public funds unless they perform abortions<\/li>\n<li>Eliminate decades-long limitations on direct taxpayer funding of abortion \u2013 including the popular Hyde Amendment, which has saved more than 2 million lives since enacted<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">In short, the legislation would overturn all federal and state pro-life laws and make it illegal for elected officials to even introduce pro-life legislation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">******************************<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Two Senate Democrats, Joe Manchin, of West Virginia, and Bob Casey Jr., of Pennsylvania, identify as pro-life, but it appears that Casey, who&#0160;<a data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.lifenews.com\/2019\/04\/10\/pro-life-democrat-senator-bob-casey-attends-pro-abortion-groups-fundraising-gala\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1645362058247000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3wk_5jQQy8xgOh_qCRj4Bv\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lifenews.com\/2019\/04\/10\/pro-life-democrat-senator-bob-casey-attends-pro-abortion-groups-fundraising-gala\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">recently was seen at a pro-abortion group\u2019s fundraiser<\/a>, has caved to party pressure.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u201cGiven the recent Supreme Court rulings, potential rulings this year, and the Republican Party\u2019s clear and unrelenting use of this issue as a political weapon, I will vote \u2018yes\u2019 to allow debate on this bill,\u201d Casey said&#0160;<a data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenBobCasey\/status\/1494477525791260673&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1645362058247000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2lpLXVMYw9muY6vnlyKX8G\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenBobCasey\/status\/1494477525791260673\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">in a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Dannenfelser slammed Casey\u2019s flip-flop as a \u201cdisgrace,\u201d noting that his father, the late Gov.
