I listened (incredulously at first) to Durbin try and place an alternative to this sensible bill, an alternative that would 'ban all third trimester abortions on viable fetuses', but without defining viability, allowing the abortionist to determine the issue of viability as weighed against the 'risk to a woman's health should the pregnancy continue'. ALL pregnancies carry risk, so the door is left wide open with Durbin's specious 'alternative'.

What was sad was to listen to a Republican New England Senator support this misdirection ploy that so clearly makes toothless a halt to this evil method for killing babies!

It borders on demonic complicity to present a ruse alternative so clearly designed to continue the shedding of innocent blood in the name of 'empowering women', for democrat votes.

Senator Santorum shredded the faulty reasoning, exposing the paradoxical assertion by Durbin and Boxer that Murray's bill or Durbin's bill were presented as a means to protect women's health and wellbeing. Thank God for men like Dewine and Santorum standing up to at least begin taking back the horrific slope of abortion on demand and this particular slaughter method.

There was a beautiful presentation by Senator Michael Enzi, in which he told the true story of his daughter born very prematurely (at six months gestational age) more than thirty years ago. He told in tearful (for me and it appeared for him also) wonder the story of his daughters struggle for survival. The moving tribute to his tiny daughter's struggle and success (she's now a teacher!) gave graphic weight to the nearly inspoken issue in all of this, that these tiny babies now being slaughtered with partial birth infanticide are living, individual human beings. His daughter survived so many years ago, and presently our medical wonders so much more able to overcome the immense battles she faced and overcame made a stark contrast to the inveigling slime of the democrat arguments.

To kill these little ones when they are viable to live beyond the uterus exposes the democrat defense of the indefensible. But Durbin, Boxer, Murray, Lautenberg, Harkin, et al, continue to try and obfuscate the truth and misdirect attention to specious ploys they so craftily raise. Despicable is all that I could think after listening to Senator Enzi's story then hearing Durbin spin and dissemble, in his efforts to use the death of innocent babies as a means for democrat political gain.

The democrats who will vote against this ban (on a hideous killing method) have lost their souls and are worthy only for contempt. May God have mercy on them ... I cannot abide them any longer.
