Sen. Clinton's Health Care amendment.

"To expand access to preventive health care services that reduce unintended pregnancy (including teen pregnancy), reduce the number of abortions, and improve access to women's health care."

Defeated 53-47

Senate Democrats in unity? Well, almost. We got a Chafee and a Snowe in exchange for Benator "Benadict Arnold" Nelson.

1. Not a bad trade, really.

I think I'd much have Snowe's and Chafee's kinda Democratic votes more than Ben Nelson's kinda Republican votes anyway.

2. True enough.

I'm actually surprised we had that much unity in the Senate.

3. You're right. It's kind of rare.

(I appreciated this post a lot. Thanks.)
