Vice President Pence on Thursday cast a tie-breaking procedural vote that allowed the Senate to move forward with an effort to nix an Obama-era rule that blocked states from defunding healthcare providers for political reasons.

Pence appeared on the floor after a procedural vote stalled in a 50-50 tie, casting the 51st vote in favor.

Pence is hoping some of those future babies will be gay, so he can charge them for their future gay conversion therapy sessions

Shocking.

Good. If abortion can't be made illegal (yet), at least give the states the option about whether they want to fund it.

I look for the SCOTUS to overturn Roe v. Wade & leave the matter up to each state sometime during Trump's first term. Probably within 2 years.

This is all fine and good, but some states are going to use this in ways that the moral majority disagree with, and they will be OUTRAGED!
