After the passage of this bill, there will be no form of legal partial birth abortion.
As is currently and generally practiced, that's true (aside from "life of the mother" exceptions, which I don't buy anyway.)
Find me some other form of PBA that is currently in practice. If it's likely that abortionists will start performing PBAs some other way to get around this legislation, as you attest, you ought to be able to find something concrete to defend your position. Otherwise you are creating theories out of thin air. I didn't take you for that type.
It's not of thin air that we understand that when things are outlawed, folks who are affected will try and find ways around the new law. My questions on this thread have been attempts to discern how determined abortionists might go about circumventing this PBA legislation.
If we accept that this legislation is an incremental step, then there are legitimate questions that need to be asked in order to determine where it might fall short, and thus, where the next incremental step might be taken.
I maintain:

I knew you would not be able to back up your imaginings with any concrete evidence. It surprised me that Sabertooth would post such dark hypotheticals, but the Sabertooth I used to know shines through in the admission. An honest and courageous man, a moral and truly free one, not swayed or enticed by love of man but rather eager to please his heavenly Father, can admit when he is wrong.
You go on to say: If we accept that this legislation is an incremental step, then there are legitimate questions that need to be asked in order to determine where it might fall short, and thus, where the next incremental step might be taken.
I agree that moral citizens of a free Republic ought to keep very close tabs on their elected officials, and follow closely all proposed legislation. I disagree, however, with your assessment that your repeated insinuations - after mounds of answers by links, facts, evidence, and quotes - are 'legitimate.'
I think it is harpish, intentionally and overtly divisive (rather than innocent postulation), originates in a complaining spirit, and displays either 1)irrationality/idiocy, or 2) intentional malice against George W. Bush/Republicans/Free Republic.
I know you are not an idiot. It looks more and more like you have become completely irrational.
What I can't figure out, Saber, is this: are you changed by hatred for FR, or by hatred of the Republican party? If the later, that comes as a surprise to me, I didn't notice when you abandoned reason for madness (but I don't follow any particular people around this or any other forum, either). If the former, get over yourself.
Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such "wisdom" does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.
James 3:13-18
