[Miss Marple]

I missed the fact that the House had already passed that awful bill. Rereading your post, I see that you do have a point on trying to get the best out of a bad bill, particularly if it looks like it is veto-proof.

I just don't like this at all. The House should be ashamed.

I am as dismayed at you are...I thought, I heard Hatch say that they still needed enough votes in the Senate to ensure it to be veto-proof...

BUT, I am afraid that other than Brownback, Santorum, Osborne (ob/gyn), Sessions, maybe Cornyn, maybe MCConnell, I just don't think there are enough Senators that would vote against it....sigh...

My other fear about this, other than the killing of those little babies, is that this will make any legislation regarding abortion that much harder to tamp down...

IF the Senate votes for THIS, then how can they say any fetus is off limits...even in partial-birth abortion...

I just KNOW that NARAL and Planned Parenthood are gearing up to use this legislation some how!

My gosh, Mitt Romney is having difficulty keeping "mother" and "father" on Mass. Birth Certificates because of the hugh gay lobby!
