There are several reasons.
This would help to establish a sanctity of life in law.The dems prefer a arbitrary quality of life standard that stays in line with their humanist/socialist agenda.
By establishing a sanctity of life they fear an undermining of the abortion industry.
Given that they have done poorly in elections and the SCOTUS,while not perfectly conservative,gives them much less than they want and became used to under Warren and Burger.As such they have come to depend on state and appellate courts to advance their agenda.That is why the panic over President Bushes nominees.This bill may set a precedent that an act of congress can supersede an action by a lower court,further cutting away their ability to advance their lib beliefs.
Lastly they have been looking to undermine and abolish the values and beliefs that this country was built on since they became enamored with Marxism in the 1920s.They wish to substitute these values with those in keeping with collectivism and away from our heritage of unique individuality,responsibility and independence.By reducing the sanctity of life to a cheaper level it furthers their agenda of uniformity and subservience to government.
Good post.
Beautiful summation of what is going on in this extraordinary session.
^^^^^^
The dems love to quote our system of "checks and balances." But they never acknowledge that judges need a "check" now and then, as well. It is Congress' duty to provide a "check" in this case.
I keep hearing them say it's a personal,intimate family matter, also.
Well stated....and I thank you. Dems up to their usual!
