I'd ask the same question back to you. You had a Republican executive and a Republican-controlled Congress for six years... why didn't they try to write a law addressing the issue? The only measure I saw in the states was South Dakota's failed initiative last week.
In all fairness, while we did control both houses, the margins were very thin. the RINOs prevented alot of what a truly conservative congress could have done.
Your side may find that out soon- If the new crop of democrats (which campaigned as moderate/conservative) are true to their promises (which I don't expect, BTW), you will soon have a nice bunch of DINOs pulling y'all to the right.
That being said, it is what they didn't do that damned them.

I think President Bush did sign a ban on partail birth abortion but of course, the courts tie it up for years.
