The 61-38 vote on the Unborn Victims of Violence Act sends the legislation, after a five-year battle in Congress, to President Bush for his signature. The White House said in a statement that it "strongly supports protection for unborn children."
Thank God for President Bush.
There are two valid, constitutional ways to protect unborn children.
1) Amend the constitution to ban abortion, or to confer personhood on the unborn (better, because it would allow genuine lifesaving abortions).
2) Pass a Federal law outlawing abortions, and exempt it from review by any Article III court.
This stupid law is just posturing by Senators who would sh*t in their pants if their girlfriends were ever really to be prevented from getting abortions.
It will be found unconstitutional by the USSC in about three seconds.
People who "strongly support protection for unborn children" should endorse and work for a legitimate, constitutional alternative.
