Good grief. I posted the relevant portion of the text, nothing more, nothing less.
I'd love for Bush to be a great conservative. He's not. It's really just that simple, and this is but one more confirmation of that IMO. He's still better than having a dang Clinton or Gore in the White House and I'm still thankful he's there, but he's NOT a conservative. Accept the blatant and obvious truth. This is what he chose to push through after three years.
Someone said they thought a head-first presentation would involve the entire head out. Not being argumentative--seriously--but I'm almost certain I've read articles about PBA before that state they only deliver enough of the head to expose their "optimum" area of the skull to puncture for suction. (It's so hideous that I honestly feel kinda clammy even typing a description of it.)Common sense says this narrow description is in the bill for a reason. And one thing's for sure: it would certainly be legal to ram something through the top of the baby's skull just as soon as it crowns. As I already mentioned, if the intent was to truly ban it, the language would be SO simple: Just write it to say "any portion of the fetal head outside the body of the mother." There's NO reason not to word it that way if you truly want to ban the procedure, for PBA is the only type of abortion that involves delivering any portion of the baby at all before murdering it.

No, they ram something in at the base of the skull, which is why the entire skull has to be exposed. Look, I agree that PBA is horrible murder, but you don't seem to want to accept that the PBA ban addresses that particular problem. It does.
