HR3 – “The No Taxpayer Money for Abortion Act” – is a vile piece of legislation by its title alone.

But let’s focus on the Democrats involved in this travesty. A look at the DCCC’s contributions to and on behalf of the 10 Democratic co-sponsors of HR3 show the committee spent a whopping $3,379,322.85 to keep these members in office – in 2010 alone.
