The same people who accused Bush of killing innocent Iraqi children will be upset that he won't kill innocent American children.

fyi to index as a reply to the new charge that the Repubies and GW never do anything right.

It's a good thing the senate bans abortion now. Abortion is nothing short of mass murder, the kind of thing for which Nazis are reviled half a century after they were themselves wiped off the planet's surface.

The president, said Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J. "will become the first United States president to criminalize a safe medical procedure."

I wonder if Lautenberg thinks that starving a person to death is a "safe medical procedure?"

Anyone have the voting record? I cant seem to find it on the http://thomas.loc.gov/ website.

A little anecdotal memory.
When the RvW decision came down in the '70s, the first trimester limit seemed to be viewed by pro-lifers as arbitrary and change-able. They voiced the concern that abortion would become widespread and even be performed up to the time of birth.

Of course the pro-abort spokespeople got the message out that people should take a hard look at these fanatically stupid pro-life nuts. The aborters said they were being painted as monsters who want to kill as many children as possible and even fully developed ones at that.

What kind of credibility can you give insane religious nuts who accuse other decent people of satanic plans? After all, the aborter's primary concern was women's health.

Who could argue with that in 1976?

A number of Democrats voted for the bill. And Arnold in California has endorsed a bill modeled on the federal approach. No one wants to take control of women's bodies away from them. The majority of Congress recognized the issue is a red herring. What the U.S Senate along with the House voted to stop today was a very barbaric late term abortion PROCEDURE that ought to have no place in a civilized society.

"I see what this is about ... this is about politics," said Boxer. "I never dreamed I'd be down here with senators who think they know more than doctors."

This isn't about what doctors know, you evil idiot. When would a 3rd trimester fetus have to be KILLED to save the life of the mother? It would just be delivered: no murder in the birth canal necessary for the mother's health.

""This is indeed a historic day," said Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., lead opponent, "because for the first time in history Congress is banning a medical procedure that is considered medically necessary by physicians.""

Just how can this c**t lie about this? She should be subjected to the same treatment.

"This is indeed a historic day," said Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., lead opponent, "because for the first time in history Congress is banning a medical procedure that is considered medically necessary by physicians."

Nonsense, Ms Boxer. This is not a first. They outlawed bloodletting, leeching, and snake-oil medicine many years ago. As far as that goes, physicians murdering your unborn babies was also outlawed by most civilized societies many years ago also.
