When Senate Democrats couldn't even be bothered to filibuter Alito, this is what they sold you down the river to:

Gov. Kathleen Blanco said Thursday that she'll sign a near-total ban on abortion - without exceptions for rape or incest victims - that is nearing final legislative passage...

...It only would allow abortion in cases where the woman's life is in danger or when childbirth would permanently harm her health.

The bill could only go into effect if the U.S. Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision is overturned.

"I anticipate signing that bill. It's got a safety measure for extreme situations for the life of the mother and some other health issues," Blanco said in an interview with The Associated Press.

She said she believed an exception for rape and incest victims to get an abortion, a proposal rejected by both the House and Senate, would have "been reasonable," but she said she wouldn't reject the bill for that reason.

"The Legislature has spoken," Blanco said....

...The bill is similar to a South Dakota law passed earlier this year that is expected to land before the Supreme Court. A majority of the Supreme Court's nine justices have voted to uphold Roe v. Wade in the past.

Hope Senators are looking forward all the incest victims and rape victims being forced to bear their father's or rapist's kids. Because these bills are passing because Right-To-Lifers are betting that Alito and Roberts will let them pass review.

Political cowardice is paid for by ordinary people. In this case the women who die on the end of coathangers or back street abortions will pay, as will those girls who were raped by thier fathers, brothers and cousins who don't want to bear a child forced on them.

And in the nation's VA hospitals you can witness the thousands of other victims of prior Democratic cowardice - men and women who will have to learn to live without limbs, or in wheelchairs, or with horrible nightmares.

Another price for political cowardice.

How these Senators can get up in the morning and face mirrors is beyond me. They say vampires can't see themselves in mirrors, because in the end they could not be vampires if they had to face themselves.

Most politicians, who drain the blood of their victims by choice not because of a curse, have no trouble facing themselves knowing what they have done, and what misery, pain and horror they have caused.
