Suppose you have a sequence of points listA, e.g.:

In[1]:=
listA = Transpose[{{1, 2, 3}, {1, 4, 9}}]
Out[1]=
{{1, 1}, {2, 4}, {3, 9}}

The corresponding abscissas are:

In[2]:=
abscs = Transpose[{{1, 2, 3}, {0, 0, 0}}]
Out[2]=
{{1, 0}, {2, 0}, {3, 0}}

The lines joining the abscissas with the points are:

In[3]:=
Line /@ Transpose[{abscs, listA}]
Out[3]=
{Line[{{1, 0}, {1, 1}}], Line[{{2, 0}, {2, 4}}], Line[{{3, 0}, {3, 9}}]}

The "lollipops" can be obtained like this:

In[4]:=
Show[Graphics[Line /@ Transpose[{abscs, listA}]], 
  Epilog -> Table[Disk[listA[[j]], 0.035], {j, 1, 3}], 
  AspectRatio -> Automatic]
