Obama made this same promise but dropped it as a legislative priority in the first days of his first term. No one withheld their vote and few protested over it (I did the protesting part. It was a campaign promise and he had the 60 votes to get it through.) They want to use it just like several other important issues to make us feel like following them will help us, but it never does.

I would love for them to help mothers and babies, all of them the way European nations do. We should care enough.
