1. The text wasn't voted on. The vote to stop talking about the issue and actually hold the vote on the text, failed.
2. It's not at all bizarre to see a Republican attach an abortion restriction onto a bill they want to kill.
- Wohlf 14y agoThe fact that it's allowed at all is pretty fucking bizarre. Wasn't there a bill going through to make bills only have one law/subject?
- 385668 14y agoIt's been attempted before, but that kind of thing is really hard to legislate effectively. At what point is something tangentially related? True, gun control and abortion bills should probably be kept separate, but what about closing the gun show loophole and also requiring conceal carry permits to have interviews? They're both about guns, but not the same issue relating to guns. It isn't really feasible, and even if it were, both parties like to pull the amend a bill to hell trick.
