Askel5,

Help us here.

What are the details behind the legal prohibition on Executive action to block the funding?

If they are real, has any effort been made to circumvent them? Could the defenders of life make gains here, and is there any chance of getting political support either in Congress or from the administration?

It would seem that exploitation of the corpse of an 8 week old unborn would be abhorrent to more people than the same thing with a much smaller and younger embryonic child.

Any help you give would be appreciated.

Please don't forget that abortion is a GOP policy. All this hue and cry over what "the Democrats" or "Bill Clinton" did is a sick joke perpetrated on good people who've placed their faith in the "Personally opposed, BUT ..." party as somehow "pro-life". They are not.

(Anyone who watched former President Bush and Bob Dole stand up to preserve Clinton through impeachment (so the Mad Bomber of Sudan could hand them back a smoking Balkan baton) knows better.)

I'll be bombing this thread from the fetal tissue angle. If you dig into some of the middle-of-the-night notes I was posting to myself in this thread -- "Abortion is VITAL to the solution" ... A Key Point from Kissinger's NSSM-200 -- you can see that the GOP Congress had no trouble revisiting the '93 Gag Rule in 2000 but specifically sidestepped the fetal tissue question.

Perhaps it was an idea whose time finally had come ... after a false start back in 1992 as George H. Bush attempt to tie up a few loose ends. To wit:
