No jobs bill today!


>>> You'll never guess what the Republicans in the House of Representatives voted on today. Abortion. Again.

Clerk.house.gov:

H R 3803      2/3 YEA-AND-NAY      31-Jul-2012      7:20 PM
      QUESTION:  On Motion to Suspend the Rules and Pass, as Amended
      BILL TITLE: District of Columbia Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act...

...220 Yeas   -  154 Nays...

The bill failed because a 2/3 vote was required.  The bill would have prevented females from getting abortions, even in the case of rape/incest.  Of course, Stivers, Austria, Schmidt, Turner, Latta, Chabot, Johnson, Gibbs, and Tiberi all voted for the bill. Is this the way the Republicans create jobs?  Why are the Republicans more interested in your uterus than creating jobs?
