“Obama could have codified #RoeVsWade when he had a supermajority but chose not to. Therefore there is no point in voting for Democrats and #VoteBlueNoMatterWho”
This is misleading at best and harmful at worst
Here are the facts 👇
When Obama was sworn in, there were:
56 Democrats + 2 Independents in the Senate
Al Franken’s victory was not acknowledged by Republicans until July
Republican Arlen Specter did not become a Democrat until April
Amongst these 56 Democrats there were pro-life Democrats from red states like Arkansas and Nebraska
Including Ben Nelson who held Obamacare hostage until there was an amendment preventing Obamacare policies from covering abortion
The Pro-Life Democrats and their NARAL Pro-Choice scores per @OnTheIssuesOrg
Ben Nelson (NE) 7%
Mark Pryor (AR) 29%
Mary Landrieu (LA) 43%
Kent Conrad (ND) 43%
Byron Dorgan (ND) 43%
Blanch Lincoln (AR) 50%
Evan Bayh (IN) 50%
Tim Johnson (SD) 50%
So let’s separate the Pro-Life vs. Pro-Choice Democrats
