As in the case with 3rd trimester abortions, the point isn't that it's a common procedure, the point is that care is being denied to people who need it in the most desperate of cases on top of it setting further precedent of government intervening with medical care for arbitrary ideological reasons.

Fascists will point to this as proof that democrats don't actually oppose reactionary policy, just like they point to their support of border walls and immigrant deportation as evidence of 'common sense'

Republicans intentionally raise these issues in order to erode trust in democratic institutions, and when democrats repeatedly cave to these ridiculous demands they prove Republicans right.

Is the perception of good better than doing actual good? I feel like that's your argument but I'm not sure.

No amount of voting or not voting would prevent this travesty becoming law.
