How the senate works, normally a bill follows a simple process,
- You have an idea,
- You write or revise a law,
- It gets assigned to committee,
- There is debate in committee and a vote to move it to the full body or let it die,
- If moved to the floor, more debate ensues,
- Debate is closed,
- A vote takes place.
Yep, and in this case it was so simple no committee was assigned - because, why would you need to? - and debate never closed because the Democrats did not want the debate to end; except of course for the fact that they have no intention of debating it - they simply didn't want the law to go forward.
THAT is how the Senate works.
Remember when Harry Reid attacked a CNN reporter for asking him why he wouldn't let "some" of the government re-open when Republicans wouldn't end cloture to get a spending bill to Mr. Obama? He asked, rather crassly and crudely "why would we do want to do that?!" and then, explaining why he was so crude, crass, and callous "I have 1,100 people at Nellis Air Force base that are sitting home. They have a few problems of their own."
See, as the Senate Majority Leader at the time, he understood that the Republicans were not voting for cloture on Reid's proposed spending bills not because they didn't want to fund
parts, but because they didn't want to fund Obamacare. They didn't want debate, they wanted Obamacare to die.
That's how the Senate works.
So, if I understand you correctly you are saying that if a baby is born and the doctor says "whoa, this kid has massive problems", the mom says "kill it", you would be good with that? Can we get a vote, yes or no.
Maybe you understand, maybe you don't. If the baby is not now, and is likely to never be, conscious, I would vote for allowing the parents to euthanize the baby - my vote would be yes.
If mom wants to go to college and therefore the baby's "massive problems" are that it exists and she doesn't want it, then I would vote NO.
