This week, the Senate voted overwhelmingly to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act. Here's how the vote went: Sixty-eight in favor, thirty-one against.
Each of the 31 senators who voted against it were Republican men.
Every time these guys get the chance to put women's health before politics, they fail to. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
These 31 men are the only senators to ever cast a vote against reauthorizing this act: The Senate reauthorized it unanimously twice in the last twelve years.
The Republican party of today is a different breed altogether.
If it comes down to scoring points with the GOP base or protecting women, they're going to choose the base every time. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
