It was up a couple of minutes ago. A woman senator (democrat) gave very personal and moving remarks---- She is the only woman on the committee. She spoke about having had five miscarriages and called out the repubs for abandoning children after they are born. She was wonderful.

Senator Lisa M. Boscola from the Lehigh Valley. If she is your state senator, please call and thank her. She is a treasure.
