An amendment was submitted by Democratic sponsors that addressed a wide range of concerns only vaguely related to the proposed ban. Its backers trotted out a laundry list of things relating to women: funds for contraception, funds for insurance, funds for prenatal care and even emergency-room requirements for victims of rape. Republicans were taunted with: "If you care so much about children and about life, why not fund some of these programs?"

The government isn't a charitable organization, and it has no obligation to give things to people as socialists believe. Democrats are fond of funding because it empowers them, so why bother talking about something else like the horrific partial birth procedure?
