LANSING, Mich. - Gov. Jennifer Granholm as expected has rejected a proposed ban on a late-term procedure that opponents call partial-birth abortion.
Granholm announced Friday she vetoed the bill recently passed by the state Legislature.
The bill was designed to mirror a federal ban that was ruled constitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court last year. The state-level measure does not include an exception for a mother's health, which Granholm says is why she won't support it.
Granholm vetoed a 2004 ban, but hundreds of thousands of voters signed petitions that allowed the bill to become law with only the approval of the Legislature. Federal courts later declared that ban unconstitutional.

Democrat Party: Baby Killers
Right now there is nothing going on in the governments of this nation that gives me much optimism. Seems every day I am praying more and more for God to say “Son, it’s time to go back down there and make things right.”
Another pol thumbing a nose at our Creator.
to paraphrase senator (cough, cough, gasp, gasp) dick turbin
the hottest rings in hell are reserved for those who support partial birth abortion.
This is just barbaric. There is no medical reason. These are viable, living children. How can anyone do this!
I swear these people will see unimaginable judgement, there is no doubt in my mind.
Students confront Pro-Abort ‘Catholic’ Candidate Jennifer Granholm...
ANN ARBOR, Michigan, Sep 12, 02 (LSN.ca/CWNews.com) - A pro-life homily delivered by Cardinal Adam Maida of Detroit at the opening of the school year at Ave Maria Law School has inspired pro-life political activism. A group of students from the Law School attended a meet-and-greet pancake breakfast Saturday where Michigan gubernatorial candidates Jennifer Granholm and opponent Dick Posthumus were to shake hands and discuss issues with hundreds of voters.
Their goal was to meet Granholm face to face and challenge her strong support for abortion since she bills herself as a practicing Catholic. Unlike her opponent, Granholm left the event after her brief turn at the griddle, breaking protocol for candidates who attend this annual event. Granholm offered a short, impersonal response as her entourage hastily shuffled her away as it was evident that a sizeable contingent of the participants were pro-lifers.
One of the student’s shirt bore the message “Granholm: Catholic? Pro-abortion-murder? Which is she?” and another shirt asked, “If Granholm lies about her religion, how can we trust her as Governor?”
Student Suzanne Housey said she was asking “Granholm to either stop masquerading as a Catholic, or stop advocating this unspeakable crime as good public policy.” When asked how she could make such a serious charge against Granholm, Housey noted that she is only repeating the official teaching of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops regarding abortion: “No public official, especially one claiming to be a faithful and serious Catholic, can responsibly advocate for or actively support direct attacks on innocent human life.”
In his August 30 homily Cardinal Maida said: “In our culture today, a Catholic school of law has a particular challenge in trying to ensure that all laws truly promote the dignity of human life, from the first moment of conception until last natural breath .... The Church and Catholic lawyers must be always ready to speak and act in such a way that the dignity of life is promoted and defended on every level.”
Bleed’em with taxes... kill’em just as they’re comin’ out of the womb. The DNC plantation should be named... “Misery”.
Views like this will come to D.C. if Barack Obama is elected.
A Liberal Democrat prevented a restriction on abortion. That’s not news. It’s simply par for the course.
Hopefully, this will make Graham even more unpopular.
Amen!

And this POS call our troops killers?
We don’t call ‘em Demon’Rats for nothing.
An eighteen syllable word for "baby-killing," a term which the liberal tongue cannot pronounce.
