And banning abortion may only make them come out with more such videos.

In a Catholic hospital? You know the mistake made there, right? Be responsible for your own well-being and don't self-restrict by using a Catholic hospital. Duh.

The Democrats are trying. There's not enough US support to get their abortion bill to pass. Seems too many people are against killing others for the sake of convenience.

Here's the thing. It is THE major public hospital for the region and the only one equipped to handle trauma and other emergencies involving pregnancy. The hospital board is majority Catholic. There isn't much of a choice for someone who needs an abortion. The other hospitals in the city are private and Catholic run. It's a real problem even while RvW stands. If it falls, there will be no choice for an in-state procedure because there is a trigger law that will ban abortion.

Don't be disingenuous. It not passing has nothing to do with public support and everything to do with the filibuster, and you know it.

I and many others have to travel out of state to get to a hospital. So can you and others.

There aren't enough votes for cloture because? Wait for it... Lack of public support.

I hate to break it to you, but the unborn are not members of society.

Because of an artifact of the way senators are elected to Congress regardless of the population of their constituency.
