I'm having a tough time, seems like. These guys don't seem to be concerned if the bill actually works, only that it is supported by the republicans. The logic seems to be that since this is a GWB/republican effort, any examination of the bill questioning whether it will be effective or now is a direct attack on GWB/republicans.

I don't understand it. I thought these people were pro-life, and supporting a law that is so easily circumvented doesn't seem to be walking the talk.

"These guys don't seem to be concerned if the bill actually works, only that it is supported by the republicans."

First assumption, you don't know the political affiliation of the people who support the bill.

Second assumption, whether "these people" are concerned or not concerned.

The bill bans what it defines as Partial Birth Abortions, lacking a legal definition of such, Congress was forced to define what exactly was being banned. Will it stop unscrupulous doctors from performing variations on PBA's? Not anymore than a complete ban on all abortions would stop unscrupulous doctors from performing abortions. It also clearly lays out a narrow definition of what PBA’s will be allowed; danger to the mother’s life.

Anyone can find a way to circumvent any law, you can’t stop unscrupulous people from doing that, but you can’t also assume that the majority of doctors are unscrupulous individuals.

I’ve been following this debate for quite some time, and while I am not up to speed on it like Marvin, I do not see this as any sort of “betrayal”, but rather a small but significant victory for the good guys. We have a long way to go, but we seem to be on our way.

As for the stuff about Roe v. Wade...I would have signed a statement supporting Hillary’s candidacy to the presidency in order to get this passed and save some babies lives.

This is being politicized by anti-GOP people...do not play politics with this issue.
