What's Happening March 2010
Tuesday morning, March 9. After several years of trying, Life Gauge saw its Constitutional Amendment reach the floor for a vote on February 24, 2010. It was a huge step forward. Tom Louisos made the motion to bring HJR 10 out of committee directly to the floor. HJR 10 is a Constitutional Amendment: Nothing in this Constitution secures or protects a right to abortion or the funding of an abortion. The count was 64-34. We lost, but we have a recorded vote to use against legislators who claim to be pro-life, but who bow down to the commands of a corrupt leadership. All twenty-nine Republicans are credited with a good vote, plus Democrats Tom Louisos, David Walker, Sally Susman and Ricky Moye. All of the other Democrats are credited with a vote to kill a good protective bill. It took less than a minute, but that minute was loaded with significance. I hope to make it a memorable minute, for years to come. Next year, the fourth Wednesday in February, let's do it again. We should increase our vote every year until the amendment passes. In a couple of weeks before the vote, just a little bit of pressure changed three delegates' votes. With a year to prepare, we can change more votes next year. Tom Louisos is up for re-election in early May. We need Tom in the House, if only to make the motion again next year.
