Senate Democrats today blocked a Republican health plan that would defund abortion by ensuring that Obamacare subsidies are not used to fund killing babies in abortions.
Democrats blocked the Crapo Cassidy bill on a 51 to 48 vote, with 60 votes necessary for the measure to move forward for debate and a final vote.
The vote was remarkable in the sense that over 50 Republican Senators agreed to the pro-life healthcare plan that would ensure that abortions are not funded with taxpayer dollars.
Republicans are unlikely to agree to a pro-abortion healthcare plan put forward by Democrat leader Chuck Schumer. Obamacare has been responsible for funding thousands of abortions with taxpayer dollars and Republican members are not inclined to go along with continuing that abortion funding.
