no exception for women’s health

To be more precise, it only allows the act in order to protect the woman’s life. Given that “health of the woman” laws had been exploited to the point where a claim of mental distress negated them in the first place, the difference is fairly significant.

It matters how much they think alike, how limited their imaginations and experience are, how welcoming or unwelcoming they are of people unlike themselves.

Yes, because they don’t agree with your position 93% of the time.

This is a joke post, right?

Are you going to argue that Lisa Murkowski and Elizabeth Dole are male plants, somehow forced against their genderous ways to vote antiabortion, since we know moral philosophy can’t allow a woman to consider the destruction of something that might be human a reason to justify an invasion of medical privacy, and women can’t make decisions past the demands of their own body?

That the amazing *nine* female Senators — in a party with well more than half of all its voters being female, which prides itself on integration even at the cost of effectiveness — is highly representative of the 51% of the populace that is female.

Personally I suspect that we’d find that the minority party is generally more cohesive than the majority party.

The fact that some women might agree with anti-abortion policy is a moot point.

The fact that prolife policy treats women like they are incapable of making good decisions when given the right to choose is just plain out sexual discrimination, which is apparent in what’s being shown in the policy making pictures here.

It’s not a joke, it’s about rights and who decides who has them.

Personally, I think da menz just wanna be spreadin’ their seed.

Stormy:

It partly depends on intra-party dynamics in both groups.

Assuming both parties can enforce cohesion, the minority party has less use for it, since they’re going to lose every vote anyway. In that case, they can allow their members more leeway to vote their consciences or cover themselves as a sop to back-home constituencies, since it won’t affect the outcome.

If the majority party can’t enforce cohesion, however, then the minority party has a great need for it, since they become the de facto majority as long as they can count on the votes of all their members plus enough of the opposition to tip the balance; to the extent that the minority also lacks cohesion, they are squandering the gift the majority defectors are giving them. Realizing and acting on this has worked very well for the Republicans, courtesy of the Democrats.

[Updated: I think I get your point now; you weren't trying to say that the Republicans are okay here, you were trying to say that the Democrats aren't perfect either. Which they're not, but which still doesn't make them near as bad as the Republicans on this issue. In any case, my original response is below, unedited, with my original misunderstanding of the point you were trying to make. Thus, the first two paragraphs are utter crap. The last sentence, however, still has some merit.]

That the amazing *nine* female Senators — in a party with well more than half of all its voters being female, which prides itself on integration even at the cost of effectiveness — is highly representative of the 51% of the populace that is female.

Setting aside the fact that I’m not entirely sure that’s a sentence, I’m also not sure that what I think you’re getting at is actually true. For starters, in 2004 the female vote went for pro-choice Kerry over pro-life Bush by a 51-48 margin. In 2006, the margin was more dramatic, with Democrats enjoying a 55-43 margin over Republicans among female voters. In 2000, women voters preferred Gore over Bush by a similar 54-43 margin. Since in two of those three cases, the Democrats lost, that female advantage to the Democrats must have been more than offset by the male voters favoring the Republican. So on what basis do you claim that “well more than half” of Republican voters being female?

Also, the fact that better than two thirds of Americans oppose overturning Roe v. Wade seems to belie your claim that the GOP’s voting record on the abortion issue is somehow representative of the electorate at large.

But in the end, I suspect that abortion (in particular “partial-birth” abortion) is one of those issues like the Estate Tax, where the more people learn about it, the less likely they are to support banning it.

My view is more that it’s much easier to get agreement on a negative policy (what not to do) than a positive policy (what to do). Since the minority party tends to spend more time resisting the majority party’s efforts rather than persuing efforts of its own, it’s likely easier for the minority party to get its members to agree.

If Senator John supports policy A and Senator Joe supports policy B, it’s hard to craft a bill both will vote for, but easy to get them to both vote against a bill for policy C.

Stormy:

That seems like the kind of thing that could be tested. Is party loyalty stronger on “no” votes than it is on “yes” votes? That should be easy enough for some stats geek to go figure out.

TG, I’m not sure disagreement is characterized by ‘no’ votes. A lot of things could devolve to maintaining status quo, which would often use ‘yes’ votes.

Dan M:

OK, then make it a bit more complicated and count the “no” votes on new proposals, and the “yes” votes on renewals.

The stats part of it is trivial. It’s the data collection part that would be rather onerous, and I don’t really have the time for it.
