Also, I'm still looking for an answer - Federal law against third trimester partial birth abortions, constitutional or not?

NO, but it is certainly within the constitutions of some (most, all?) of the states.

Amendment 5 of the Constitution:

No person shall be...... deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.

So you're telling me you think this DOESN'T COVER a child still in the womb? Even one in the late third trimester?More specifically, you're telling me that a woman can get a partial birth abortion 2 weeks before her delivery date, and the US COogress CANNOT pass a law against this (again, see amendment 5 above)?

Also, you still haven't reconciled the problem with your argument that YOU raised. One mailman (or other federal employee) kills another mailman (or other fed employee) inside a post office, or other area not governed by state law. Do you think it is unconstitutional for Congress to outlaw this murder?
