Republicans really anti abortion??

[ShangriLaTroubl]

Doesnt look like it..looks like to me they just use it as a political issue to win elections..because when it comes down to votes, they dont want to do anything to eliminate abortions....

Not only do the Republicans not care about preventing abortions and teen pregnancies...they could care less about preventing terrorism like they claim--most of them anyway

Thankfully this bill was AGREED TO...regardless of the Republican votes against it
