President’s birth control policy stands

In a win for Democrats, the Senate voted Thursday to table an amendment permitting employers and insurers to opt out of provisions in President Obama's health care law on moral or religious grounds.

The Senate voted 51-48 to table the amendment, which was offered by Senate Republican Minority Leader Roy Blunt of Missouri as an add-on to the transportation funding bill. Blunt and fellow Republicans cast the amendment as a fight to protect First Amendment rights (which includes the freedom of religion.) Prior to the vote, Blunt argued that the language should be deemed non-controversial by his colleagues, stating on the Senate floor that every member of the Senate, barring some of the most recently elected members, "have voted for bills that have this language in them."

But Democrats said the amendment limits access to contraception and infringes on women's rights at a time when Congress needs to focus on the economy and employment. "These aren't the issues we should be debating right now," Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet said on the Senate floor.

From NBC Politics:

The vote to defeat the proposal was 51 to 48, with one Republican, Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine, voting with 50 Democrats against the amendment offered by Sen. Roy Blunt, R- Mo.

Thank goodness this ignorant sow is quitting. I much prefer perverts and killers who are honest about what they are.

Three Democrats, Ben Nelson of Nebraska, Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, and Joe Manchin of West Virginia, voted with most Republicans for the proposal.

This charade will not save Senator Patrimony, Bob Casey. It's time to throw that Catholic-In-Name-Only onto the trash heap of history.
