Just the fact that you consider it a loophole a mile wide even though it's been explained on this thread a dozen times makes me think you have a reading comprehension problem or just WANT to find something to complain about.

(14) Pursuant to the testimony received during extensive legislative hearings during the 104th, 105th, and 107th Congresses, Congress finds and declares that:

(E) The physician credited with developing the partial-birth abortion procedure has testified that he has never encountered a situation where a partial-birth abortion was medically necessary to achieve the desired outcome and, thus, is never medically necessary to preserve the health of a woman.

Or maybe you just have a personal grudge with Luis? Either way, it's not a mile wide loophole.

Sec. 1531. Partial-birth abortions prohibited

`(a) Any physician who, in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce, knowingly performs a partial-birth abortion and thereby kills a human fetus shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 2 years, or both. This subsection does not apply to a partial-birth abortion that is necessary to save the life of a mother whose life is endangered by a physical disorder, physical illness, or physical injury, including a life-endangering physical condition caused by or arising from the pregnancy itself. This subsection takes effect 1 day after the date of enactment of this chapter.

See the lies? It's a game of inches rather than yards. It's falacious sophistry and lame. Want to see what leadership looks like:

Anyone who knowingly performs a third trimester abortion, for whatever reason, is a murderer and will be charged as such. The sentence will be carried out at the will and descretion of the court.

That's leadership.

Anyone who knowingly performs a third trimester abortion, for whatever reason, is a murderer and will be charged as such. The sentence will be carried out at the will and descretion of the court.

And what do you think the chances are of a Bill with that in it would pass through Congress?

[Luis Gonzalez]

"Anyone who knowingly performs a third trimester abortion, for whatever reason, is a murderer and will be charged as such. The sentence will be carried out at the will and descretion of the court."

That's not leadership, that's you typing on a internet forum.

You're still not clear on the differences between "talking" and "doing"...are you?

`Sec. 1531. Partial-birth abortions prohibited

`(b) As used in this section--

`(1) the term `partial-birth abortion' means an abortion in which--

`(A) the person performing the abortion deliberately and intentionally vaginally delivers a living fetus until, in the case of a head- first presentation, the entire fetal head is outside the body of the mother, or, in the case of breech presentation, any part of the fetal trunk past the navel is outside the body of the mother for the purpose of performing an overt act that the person knows will kill the partially delivered living fetus; and

I don't care how many times you try and ignore the remainder of the bill, it will not go away.

so it's all or nothing? Can't you accept it as a step in the right direction and pray and work for the next step to come along soon?
