In reply to the discussion: Murkowski Regrets Voting For Blunt’s ‘Religious Conscience’ Measure: ‘I Have Let These Women Down’ [View all]Inuca
(8,945 posts)4. I read the whole article to see whether
she also gave an explanation as to WHY she votes the way she did. I dod not find any.What I did find is a good comment about contraception being a good tool to reduce unwanted pregnancies and a rather strong statement against Limbaugh's appaling comments. From the short article, my inference was that she wanted to play ball, but she was really shocked by what Limbaugh said and its implications, and now she is sorry. Murkowski is in the "I can live with" category, she is reasonably decent, and not the "enemy" IMHO.

It is just another example of someone wanting it both ways. Just as sincere as Limbaugh's apology.
