50 Senators Vote NO on Unborn Baby Health Benefits

50 uncaring Senators last night voted to not fund health care for pregnant women AND their unborn babies, a program which President George W. Bush authorized in a change to a children's health insurance program (SCHIP) in 2002. In a mostly party-line vote, the Democratic Party -- with votes from a few liberal Republicans -- voted to cover only pregnant mothers, but not their unborn children.

Democrat's UnDemocratic Outrage

Last night the Do Nothing Party -- otherwise known as the Democratic Party -- undemocratically pulled a fast one on the American people. The Republicans in the House of Representatives were attempting to attach an amendment to an agriculture bill which would prevent illegal aliens from receiving federal benefits, an amendment supported by the overwhelming majority of the American people. When the time expired on the vote for the Republican amendment, the vote tally on the tote board -- right above the chair of the Speaker of the House and the "In God We Trust" motto -- showed 215 FOR the amendment denying federal benefits to illegal aliens to 213 against the Republican Amendment.
