How utterly pathetic:
Senate Democrats just blocked a bill to help victims of trafficking because it doesn't provide public funding for elective abortions.

And guess whose fault that is, according to Harry Reid:
Life is simple but my Republican friends insist on making it complicated. If they took abortion out of human trafficking bill, we'd pass it.

What, exactly, is so complicated about wanting to help victims of trafficking and refusing to to fund murder?

Dems blocked it because it includes Hyde amdt, which bans federal funding of abortion with exceptions for rape, incest & life of the mother.

Harry Reid, who's long insisted he's pro-life, now insists on fed funding for elective abortions as a condition to help trafficking victims.

Senator Reid "is strongly pro-life," Manley said, "and I resent any suggestion to the contrary." http://t.co/7VK8YPy0pT

There’s nothing pro-life about Harry Reid.

He’s absolutely disgusting. He’s not remotely interested in helping anyone; to him, this is about sticking it to Republicans at any cost — even the cost of human lives.
Why is that? RT @nprpolitics A procedural vote to advance the Senate human trafficking bill has failed. The vote was 55 to 43.

@SenatorReid So you're going to filibuster a bill to prevent human trafficking?
— John Blackout (@SomewhatSeattle) March 17, 2015
@SenatorReid So you're willing to sacrifice a human trafficking bill for the abortion debate? Shame on you.

Hey, Democrats, is this really the guy you want speaking for you?
@SenatorReid Another example of why you're minority leader now Harry. Supporting Human trafficking is a bad look. @TheDemocrats
