Would there not also be other people in the room .. like a nurse or two?

Probably but are they objective witnesses?

Would that have been a better scenario for you?

I'm happy you asked. A better scenario for me would be eliminating all late term abortions.

Which would you prefer?

Another logical fallacy. There's another choice. Criminalizing all late term abortions at the outset. Remember that the Republicans control both the House and the Senate. It's called leadership and this limp-wristed legislation does not speak from leadership. It speaks from a communitarian philosophy that is both feckless and ineffective.

If this is the best that Santorum and others can foist up on the hill than they should stick to fundraising. No definitive, demonstrable declarations equals equivocation and politics as usual.

Same as it ever was.

But I'll still support Libertarians For Life because they have their eye on the ball.

I'm happy you asked. A better scenario for me would be eliminating all late term abortions.

So you prefer all or nothing?

"I'm happy you asked. A better scenario for me would be eliminating all late term abortions."

But that was never what the authors of this bill proposed to do, it was never promised that this bill would ban all late term abortions.

This bill however, gives you the incremental step to proceed towards that goal.

Quit trying to try the trial before the jury is seated or the accused has been accused.

By the way...what bills that have stopped any abortions at all have Libertarians for Life enacted into law lately...or ever?

It would be only fair to give me the ability to dissect those laws as you have dissected this one.

Or have your victories against abortionists all theoretical?

Just out of curiosity, how does having your eye on the ball contribute anything to ending abortion without a single representative at the national or any state level?

[Luis Gonzalez]

"But I'll still support Libertarians For Life because they have their eye on the ball."

And they will keep on standing there, looking at the ball right up to the moment when we roll it up to them.

Then they will take credit for the victory.

LOL. Here we go again. If the Republicans truly controlled the House and Senate, perhaps they could get a lot of things done. But it doesn't work quite that easily. There is another powerful political party out there that is opposed to nearly every conservative issue and there's also the contingent of turncoat Rinos to be dealt with. Not to mention a population that is pretty evenly divided between Republicans and Democrats. Now if there was someway that we could give the Republicans a larger majority AND a conservative mandate from the people...
