about me

i'm one of those leftist liberals you've been warned about and genuinely want to expand the welfare state. i'm obsessed with politics, with a focus on civil rights (race, gender, disability, etc). i love charts and graphs and data. i also love street art and graffiti. i'm far too lazy for proper capitalization and i don't care.

democrats who voted yes on the stupak amendment

a total of 64 democrats voted yes on the stupak amendment, helping it pass 240 to 194.to see a full list of names, states, and contact info, please check here. if you live in their districts, please let them know how you feel about this.

62 of those were men. the women are Dahlkemper (PA) and Kaptur (OH).

7 were from various parts of pennsylvania. 4 were from texas which surprised me because i didn’t know there were four democratic reps from texas. relatively few were from the west. 23 were from southern states.

all of them placed unreasonable restrictions on a legal medical procedure - the only medical procedure to be restricted in any way by the health reform bill.
