I think you can expect it, since this from NARAL (4.00 / 4)

NARAL Pro-Choice America President Blasts Chafee's Vote For Rogers Brown
Washington, DC - NARAL Pro-Choice America President Nancy Keenan issued the following statement in response to U.S. Sen. Lincoln Chafee's (R-RI) vote to support Janice Rogers Brown's nomination to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia:
"Given our recent conversations with Senator Chafee, this vote is surprising and extremely disappointing. We'd like to know what pressure the Republican leadership put on him. We will be watching closely his future votes on judicial nominees, including William Pryor and those for the Supreme Court."

  I hope they stab him in the back because he just stabbed them in the back.

- Hmm. (none / 0)
  
  I'd like to see how many points Chafee loses on the NARAL score card over this. 2? 3? 50?
  We'd like to know what pressure the Republican leadership put on him.
  This is why NARAL is lost. Or am I the only one who reads this as making an excuse for Chafee? Poor man, the pressure was just to much.

  - NARAL is hardly lost (none / 1)
    
    since it is fighting for the majority of voters -- women . . . while the Dem Party is not doing so.
