Joe Knippenberg has the goods on pro-choice members of Congress who say they want to reduce the number of abortions but can't think of any way to do so other than more publicly funded birth control. Joe sums up the position some Democrats, including Stephanie Herseth, have staked out.
That leaves us with eleven Democrats who say they want to reduce the number of abortions but can't support a relatively mild parental notification measure. For the record, they are Rosa DeLauro, Anna Eshoo, Stephanie Herseth, John Larson, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, James Clyburn, Rahm Emanuel, and Marcy Kaptur (all of whom voted "nay"), as well as Harold Ford, Sherrod Brown, and Ted Strickland, who were apparently too busy campaigning to bother to vote.
