Great news.

[agrandis]

It's hard to fathom that they needed to pass a special law against this. Do we have to spell out in great detail the circumstances under which murder will not be lawful? Crazy times!

[oc-flyfish]

Right on!

So it's official. Personhood begins at birth.

I'm looking forward to finding out the disposition of children born alive at abortuaries. Who will own them?

Will they be given to the State since it's the State in this regard -- and not the mother, not the father and certainly not the abortionist -- who recognize them ... Hey Presto! ... as persons?

Surely it's not the woman's fault her abortionist was careless ... just as she has no responsibility for her child if she, her sex partner or her rapist were careless in preventing or killing the child by practicing Safe Sex.

Now, tell the Senate Democrats to ban third trimester abortions in total. All of the babies aborted after week 27 are viable. It is unethical to abort a baby at that time because all of those children can be born by Cesearean Section or Vaginally and then supported in an intensive care unit!

It's amazing that we even need a bill like this one. It should be obvious that it's murder.

This is still not a substitute for the bill against partial birth abortion. If you read the language - the baby has to be alive when completely expelled. It seems to me that partial birth abortion, which kills the infant before it is born, is performed to keep from getting into the dilemna of what to do with a live birth. I don't think sufficating babies has ever been really legal.

My concern is that this bill will make partial birth abortions even more necessary to the abortionist.

It seems to me that this was an easy one to pass - and evidenced by support by both parties. The next step is going to be the tough one - but it was promised. Don't accept this as a substitute - it isn't.

Watch out you liberals,"THE CAMEL'S NOSE IS UNDER YOUR TENT NOW!"

Actually, this is incredibly sad. That we need a specific law to make it illegal from killing a child, a living, breathing human being, is sad. That somewhere in our great country, some group of people need to be told that it is EVIL to murder a newborn child is truly chilling.

I wonder if this is a better method to eliminate partial birth abortions ?

[Reagan Man]

A BIG pro-life bump, for the future of America's children. It's a significant move towards increased respect for human life, but there's much much more that can and should be done.

GOD IN HEAVEN ANOTHER MIRACLE THANK YOU LORD!!!

Amazing that Daschle would let this be voted on.

Good job, Senators.

[foreshadowed at waco]

I saw a woman interviewed yesterday on one of the cable shows--she was from the Concerned Women of America--she said that the House is currently working on a bill to ban partial-birth abortion that will hopefully be constitutional in its wording--she mentioned the passage of this bill as well--they even showed an ad with her in it that is running in South Dakota that accuses Daschle of holding up judicial nominees and cites the 'pledge' judge in California as the type of judges that Democrats are holding out for...LOL!

When people start to see living children who were burned or maimed during an attempt to murder them in the womb, it may put an end to abortion in this country - and I hope it does!
