HR3 – “The No Taxpayer Money for Abortion Act” – is a vile piece of legislation by its title alone. That the bill contained, until yesterday, a provision to redefine rape as “forcible” rape was even more insidious. In a Republican-controlled House, it’s not shocking to see this kind of medieval treatment of women become a priority over, you know, job creation. 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.

as a news peg, let me show you Loretta Sanchez’ tweet from the well of the House:
Looking forward to casting my vote on this historic health care bill! House is currently set to vote around 11pm EST.
I think a “No” vote after that statement would be, well, odd. So she’s a yes.
