not very pro life. They are the same idiots that want to get rid of Roe vs Wade and force women to have babies. Then if those women need help after having that baby they don’t want to help them.

Anything to harm Joe/Dems. Gas prices, inflation, and now baby formula - all three local issues that affect the average American. They are playing the end game and , dammit, they got the issues by the nuts and are twisting them anyway they can.I'm beginning to really believe there is collusion and a conspiracy with big business and politics to ensure Dems are being blamed for all three of those issues.

They strangle the American people with high prices, the Dems get blamed and replaced by R's who then let big business do whatever they want to the economy and the environment.
Oh and for any Liz Cheney apologists, she is one of the 192. Showed her true colors here.

33. Jaime Herrera-Beutler of WA and Cliff Bentz in OR voted no, too
Thu May 19, 2022, 12:59 PM
May 2022

Herrera-Beutler likes to portray herself as a "reasonable" Republican, one who isn't inextricably tied to her party's ideology or agenda. She represents the district across the Columbia River from Portland. While the folks in that district aren't too keen to be counted with Portland (generally speaking), they do have a lot of common ground with the crunchy granola hippies and soy boys over here. This vote from Herrera-Beutler might be a little hard for them to appreciate, and Jaime might have to do some fast talking to explain it away.

From a cursory look at Bentz's home page, there is no issue with baby formula. He likes getting money for his district from the federal government, but he's adamant about voting against any legislation that would authorize that. Speaker Pelosi called it, "Vote no then take the dough." So a no vote on this bill is pretty much what you'd expect. Next up, how Rep. Bentz got more baby formula delivered to families in his district.
