Senate Rejects ‘Most Radical Abortion Bill in United States History,' All but One Democrat Vote in Favor
[Breitbart] The U.S. Senate on Monday rejected the “Women’s Health Protection Act,” a radical abortion bill aimed at enshrining abortion on-demand and up-to-birth in federal law as well as voiding all state laws aimed at protecting the lives of the unborn.

The measure, which needed 60 votes to bypass the filibuster, failed 46-48 with all but one Democrat voting in favor — Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV).
So not just a fail, but a big fail. And the Democratic Party leadership must have known it would when they put it up for a vote.
Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) — who has described himself as pro-life and whose father, former Pennsylvania Gov. Bob Casey, Sr. (D), took Planned Parenthood to the Supreme Court over abortion — voted in favor of the measure as well.

#1 So not just a fail, but a big fail. And the Democratic Party leadership must have known it would when they put it up for a vote.

Mid term ammunition for at risk demoncrats in purple areas. They will fund raise off this.

#2 True - they and the Media will use this to hammer that "Republicans want to take away women's 'reproductive health' and make them use rusty coathangers in rat infested back ally clincs!" 24/7 until the election.

#3  “Women’s Health Protection Act"

AKA the "Bye-bye Black Babies Act" or, in overseas incarnation, the "Flushing Female Fetuses Act."
