this is not only taking away a woman s right to make a decision. this is taking away a woman s right to continue to build a future for herself. you could convert the supreme court opinion roe versus wade into the federal statute passed by perhaps, elizabeth warren, lisa did it through the senate. one of the prospects of? that it s a filibuster problem. look, we ve got the women s health protection act that just says as a matter of federal law, the decision to continue a pregnancy is a woman s decision. she can consult with anyone she wants to. she can consult with her mother, with her partner, she can consult with her doctor, her priest, her rabbi. but it is not up to the state. it is not up to the government to come in and interfere in that decision.
their argument is there is a filibuster problem and you need republican votes. what do you say to that? when we got the majority if you were with me and i had gone to the new majority, you know what they told me? get me 50 republican votes. i hear the echo of the democrats. bernie is an independent, but he sounds like a democrat in the house or the senate leadership. if you would only get me the votes. this is about fighting. the fighting i hear that, but the fighting, there has to be some strategy. okay. 70 republicans didn t vote for the debt ceiling. didn t vote for the continuing resolution and didn t vote for relief for the texas hurricane relief in harvey. please tell me the last time we approved a budget without overwhelming democratic support. i can t remember. they have an operating majority of 155. they do not give them the
