High Priority - Pro Choice Agenda

The new majority leader has expressed one of his priorities this year is a pro-choice agenda, specifically Reproductive Health Act and Healthy Teens Act.

It could be his priority, but is he just blowing empty kisses to a group of advocates without having the votes?

The Democratic conference in the Senate has a razor thin majority and include conservative Democrats such as; Darrel Aubertine, Ruben Diaz and Carl Kruger, which likely will be needed to pass the majority leader's agenda.

Just how far will these guys bend to satisfy the leader? Will Darrel compromise his principles and support this legislation for a quid pro quo?

Nope. Unlike this IV he has principals and a backbone.
