'Tonight's vote isn't about protecting women—it's about scoring political points'
Democratic senator Sherrod Brown (Ohio) on Monday castigated Senate Republicans for attempting to protect children who survive abortions.
In a series of posts on social media, Brown lashed out for what he described as political posturing on the part of Republicans, specifically Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.), who brought a vote on legislation mandating babies who survive failed abortions are given the same medical treatment as children born prematurely.
"Tonight's vote isn't about protecting women," Brown tweeted. "It's about scoring political points at the expense of women's health and freedom to make their own healthcare decisions."

This is beyond tragic. Defund abortion and ramp up funding for contraception, prenatal care, and high quality adoption services. A child can’t be harmed once it’s born without legal consequences, but we can be so cavalier about ending its life before it takes its first breath. Abortion is not the solution.
Furious Deathocrats just proves that their kill the newborns stance isn't playing back home with voters. And they very well may not get a chance to reverse their vote before the next elections. (Not that they'd suddenly get warm and fuzzy)
