That may be. The fact is, a lot of things that have passed...more aid to education, prescription drugs, AIDS money to Africa, etc....would've been strenuously fought by the Republicans if Clinton were still President.
This abortion bill from the Senate might be awful. But, it's a first step. I don't see how anyone can explain why GWB didn't sit the HOR and Senate down, quickly, after it was passed, and get something. The fact that something is signed (even if imperfect) would be a powerful message that this country cares about life. Instead, GWB went to the Mideast, then Africa, now it's summer recess. It will not be acceptable to say in September. Ooops....too late....wait for the next election.
Agree; and for with just a few more Libs in Washington doing our work; or even an Algore for President; this bill would not exist.
Am hoping, that this is the first step, for sure and that the following ones come more easily and quickly.
