Expect those sneaky Republicans to come up with some trick to disallow many of the votes.

...if the doctor had a problem with the abortion...

The "problem" was specifically based on the religious views of the health attendant that prevented them from taking part in any kind of abortion. Actually, I can symapthize with that view, I just can't justify it under conditions such as rape. If it had passed it would be paramount to have SOMEONE in the ER who didn't have a "problem" prescribing abortion drugs on a case by case basis. That could be very problematic in certain hospital ER's with a high percentage of "religiously motivated" attendant's. Which is why I suspect the amendmant failed.
Yup, he voted for the bill in the end, to allow for it, (they had his other arm twisted up behind his back and he had little choice).
