Dems One Vote Away from Codifying Abortion Up Until Birth Nationwide.

Elections matter. They’re not fair. But they matter.

The good news is that the pro-abortion left was defeated.

The bad news is that they were one vote away from winning.

LifeNews.com: Senate Republicans, with the help of Democrat Senator Joe Manchin, voted to defeat a Democrat bill that would overturn every pro-life law in America and legalize abortions up to birth.

Lawmakers voted 48-46 against cloture — against ending debate and allowing a vote on the the misnamed Women’s 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.

All Republicans voted pro-life against cloture on the radical pro-abortion bill and all Democrats voted pro-abortion for cloture, except for Manchin. Democrats Feinstein, Lujan and Warnock missed the vote but would have voted pro-abortion while Republicans Inhofe, Kennedy and Paul also missed vote but would have voted pro-life.

Democrat leaders and many mainstream news outlets portray the bill as an effort to simply “codify the right to an abortion” in the U.S. in response to the likelihood that the Supreme Court will overturn Roe v. Wade later this year. The bill would:

Eliminate all state and federal parental consent laws in relation to abortion
Eliminate all state informed consent laws, including those that allow women to view an ultrasound prior to abortion
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
Force doctors and nurses opposed to abortion to lose their jobs, and Catholic hospitals could lose public funds unless they perform abortions
Eliminate decades-long limitations on direct taxpayer funding of abortion – including the popular Hyde Amendment, which has saved more than 2 million lives since enacted
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.”

That was a close call. If Manchin went the other way, it’s all tied up and Kamala comes in and breaks the tie and Biden enshrines it. 2022 would be a total disaster for the unborn but for one man -Joe Manchin.

But to be clear, I’m not just praising Manchin. Let’s be clear. He’s a politician. If the people of his home state were kinda’ okay with abortion he’d likely flip. But they’re not. I don’t know that but I suspect it. So pro-lifers in West Virginia weren’t so adamant, I don’t think he’d be. I could be wrong but he’s a politician so…I kinda’ rest my case.

I’ve made it very clear that this country is going down in flames but if we somehow avoid total disaster, Joe Manchin wi
