The latest victories came almost simultaneously -- final congressional approval of a bill banning a disputed late-term abortion procedure and Florida lawmakers' vote empowering Gov. Jeb Bush to order resumed feeding of a woman who has been in a vegetative state since 1990.

abortion-rights groups worry

As well they should. This puts a real crimp in their serial killing. Muder, Inc, should be put out of business and prosecuted to the full extent of the law!

Gloria Feldt, president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, said people need to realize "it's not just a fight about abortion.

No, it's not. It's about Choose Life vs. Choose Death. Really kills these folks that Terri Shaivo hasn't already been reduced to ashes, doesn't it? (And, of course, they call it a "family's choice"!)

Just listened to NPR during lunch. On their Day to Day program they interviewed an author of the book How the right won the abortion debate (or to close to it) and they are fit to be tied!

They love taking the lives of innocents to free up cash for the "wheres my check" crowd.

the self-proclaimed right-to-life movement and its conservative allies are on a winning streak that is deeply troubling to abortion-rights activists.

Um, shouldn't that read self-proclaimed abortion-rights activists?

Abortion-rights groups anticipated passage of the late-term abortion ban and plan a legal challenge

This is the real obstacle. We live in a country who has given unelected and unaccountable judges the power to say what we may have as law and what we may not, and the other two branches government be damned.

Exactly how are the Partial Birth Abortion Law and the Teri Schiavo cases connected? Does the PRO-DEATH movement now consider the extermination of all life they deem as "unfit" a universal cause? Congress acted to outlaw a hideous practice of murder of unborn children. The Florida legislature and Jeb Bush acted to save the life of an adult woman whose husband wants to snuff her out so he can "get on" with his life. So is life for the sake of life evil now in the eyes of liberals?

not even close...the pro-life movement are like mosquitos that are bothersome,but you can shoo them away...we will always have problems regarding the abortion movement until they are charged with hate crimes and genocide against minorties.....when the pro-aborts begin to truly pay for their crimes,then the racists that come after them will think twice about being PRO-CHOICE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here we have a governor of Florida interfering with a family's choice,

No, the governor interfered with her husband's choice. The woman's family wanted her to live, but had no say. Under the law, the guy with the girlfriend and out-of-wedlock children has all the way whether or not his wife is starved to death or not.

And the governor only interfered *after* legislation was passed that allowed it to happen.

They kill babies. They should do more than worry.

That's why the judges need to be damned and either thrown out of office or flat plain ignored.

The liberal tho will yell and scream that "It's a Law, you can't do that."

*waits for the flames to start*
