__________________________________________________________________________
Congress on Tuesday sent President Bush legislation to ban
partial-birth abortion — after years of emotional debate —
the most significant restriction since the landmark Supreme
Court decision legalizing abortion three decades ago.
"This is an enormous day. It's been a long seven-year fight
about the issue of partial-birth abortion," said Sen. Sam
Brownback R-Kan. He was a leader of the drive to end abor-
tions, generally carried out in the second or third trimes-
ter, in which a fetus is partially delivered before being
killed.
[...]
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist , R-Tenn. — a heart and
lung surgeon — told Fox News he's confident the ban will
withstand any court challenges. Calling the procedure
"egregious, outlandish and ghoulish," Frist argued it is
not something that is medically necessary — as some Demo-
crats have argued in the case of a woman's health — and
said he is excited that the bill will finally be signed,
rather than vetoed, by the president.
The 64-34 vote came three weeks after the House passed the
same measure by 281-142.
Bush had urged Congress to pass the ban, which Republicans
had pursued since the GOP captured the House in 1995, and
the president had said he would sign it into law.
But opponents said the first federal ban on abortion since
the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade decision was unconsti-
tutional and, like similar state laws, would be struck down.
The president, said Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J. "will
become the first United States president to criminalize a
safe medical procedure." Doctors who violate the ban would
be subject to prison terms of up to two years.
The two sides differed widely on the frequency and definition
of partial birth abortion, which is not a formal medical term.
The bill defines partial birth abortion as delivery of a fetus
"until, in the case of a headfirst presentation, the entire
fetal head is outside the body of the mother, or, in the case
of the 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."
Several groups, including the National Abortion Federation and
the Center for Reproductive Rights, plan to challenge the mea-
sure in court as soon as it is signed into law. "We will take
this fight from the Capitol to the courtroom to safeguard the
lives and health of women," said Vicki Saporta, president of
the National Abortion Federation.
Planned Parenthood Federation of America President Gloria
Feldt said her group would seek an injunction preventing the
legislation from taking effect.
A key focus will be the Supreme Court's 5-4 ruling in 2000
that a similar Nebraska law was unconstitutional because the
definition of the practice was too vague — making it unclear
to doctors what procedures were illegal — and didn't have an
exception concerning risks to the health of the mother to go
along with an exception for when the life of the mother was
in danger.
Santorum argued that supporters had met those constitutional
questions by tightening the definition and offering extensive
findings that the procedure was never needed to protect the
health of the mother.
President Clinton twice vetoed partial birth bills on the
grounds that they did not include health exceptions....

of over 30,000,000 unborn human beings, I'm
not very impressed with the description of one
kind of abortion as a "SAFE MEDICAL PROCEDURE."
* First, it's not very safe for the unborn
children who are being killed.

"MEDICAL PROCEDURES." The great majority of
abortions are simply acts of homicide against
healthy fetuses. How can we consider an
unnecessary homicide a "medical procedure.

I wonder where they get all of the money to pursue these legal cases in
state after state and now in regard to partial birth abotion. Last I heard
they hadn't complied with the US Supreme Court's monetary demands in the
Schiedler case.

I take it that's a rhetorical question? They get this money from the
same places that they get their money to hammer away at the second
amendment, marriage as a heterosexual institution, and anti-war
demonstrations among other leftist causes. It comes largely from
leftist foundations, not a few of them handing out "old" republican
money.
What we need to do is start hammering THEM in first and fourteenth
amendment areas with equally silly arguments. What in hell should we
care how specious or silly the arguments are? Do they worry about this
when they do their thing? Just keep running them through the courts,
just like they do, until THEY back off from their *****. I can
assure you the first amendment can be attacked just as easily as the
second by challenging every freakin' application of it in
controversial areas.

You might want to read the statement from the American College of
Obstetricians and Gynecologists regarding this legislation:
http://www.acog.org/from_home/publications/press_releases/nr10-03-03.cfm
"In this case, the bill before the Senate fails to
respect the Stenberg test because bill supporters
flagrantly refuse to include an exception for the
health of a woman. Instead, legislators try to
circumvent the Court's requirements by issuing
their own opinion to the nation's physicians and
patients that such a procedure is never needed to
protect a woman's health -- notwithstanding
opposing opinions from the medical community.
"The medical misinformation currently circulating
in political discussions of abortion procedures
only reinforces ACOG's position: in the individual
circumstances of each particular medical case, the
patient and physician -- not legislators -- are
the appropriate parties to determine the best
method of treatment.
This so-called "PBA ban" law will go down in flames in the courts
because it does not include an exception for the health of the woman,
as mandated by the U.S. Supreme Court.
And it will not prevent a single abortion. All this legislation
amounts to is chum for mouth-breathers like Papa Jack.

And as supported by the vast majority of Americans in a recent poll -
Americans who did mostly support the ban, but only with a health exception.

One wonders at a political party that thinks it can justify violating
the constitution and threatening women by simply insisting that their
propaganda is more important than the truth.
Next thing you know they'll be lying in order to justify invasion.

So you do acknowledge that PBA's were a common practice. If not, then
doctors wouldn't have to be forced to find other methods

By this logic, heart-lung transplants [1] are a common practice. If not,
then doctors wouldn't be forced to find other methods if the current one was
modified.
By this logic, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease [2] is a common illness. If not,
then meat producers wouldn't have been forced to find other methods of
feeding animals destined to be eaten, nor would health-care workers have
been forced to find other methods of handling infectious materials.
[1] 500 in the US and 2,000 worldwide as of 1995; estimated 2,300 per year
in the US now, according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.
[2] One case per million people per year, according to the Creutzfeld-Jakob
Disease Foundation.

Only to the handful of women who would have died without them. But that's

A handful. How many would have to die before you consider them important
enough to worry about?
Not that it's important - the procedure isn't illegal when it's necessary.
(And then, of course, only until the ban gets overturned again, since it
still doesn't have the constitutionally-required health exception too.)

I don't need scare tactics to convince me that we should keep PBA's
I know better. And I also know that a woman's life would come over the
unborn child's life regardless of a ban on PBA or not.

Osprey, did you really write that? Are you really, really sure? I

Where it is so-called "necessary", it is just a foot in the door
towards promoting infanticide...which is really where pro-aborts are
headed next. All children of the state must earn their right to
live....somewhat like in the movie "Soldier". Darwinism as state
policy...survival of the fittest. Perhaps to some, that sounds really
neat....all survivors.
There is actually no such thing as PBA, its PBM (partial birth murder)

The problem is that the language is
so vague, you can't tell *what* it's trying to ban. It will undoubtedly be
used to try and ban other abortion methods as well. I know you think that's
a good thing, but principled abortion opponents understand why it's not.

I suppose if the mother's life is ever in danger, they might attempt
to save the child. If the child doesn't live, then its a "failed
attempt" and not a PBA is it not?

Maybe, maybe not.

I really don't care what kind of rhetoric you
are trying to paint the picture with.
They are brutal, and terrible procedures, and not necessary at all.


Only to the handful of women who would have died without them. But that's
okay; they'd still be permitted in such cases.


In many of those cases, the women would die anyway

Ummm... have you any evidence that women who have or may have a so-
called "PBA" procedures die at or around that time even if they have
them?
If so, please cite where you found such evidence, and what it is.

Adam,
What you don't get is the hints I send you. And I send them pretty clear.
I don't care what you say
I don't care about your questions
I don't care what your opinions are
I don't care what you think about me
You follow my every post around, looking to criticize any little thing you
can. It is a obsession with you.
Personally I think it is a sickness, much like what stalkers have.
I know this, and I know what your motives are. Which is why I don't care
about your questions, your opinions, your statements, your lies, your made
up accusations, and so forth.
I look at you as a very sick, mentally ill, person. You are not very bright,
you certainly don't take a hint, and I don't think you are capable of ever
realizing that you are not always right.
Which is why I snip a lot of your comments. I purposely dismiss many of
your questions just because I want to see how you are going to jump. And
you do jump. I have purposely baited you before, many times, with comments
meant to get a reaction out of you. I have even told you Adam, that you are
obsessed with my every post, and you still don't get the hint.
Now, go on with your rhetorical statements now Adam...:o)
You are one person who will never earn my respect
.

[snipping Bobby's self serving excuses]
So, can we take this as confirmation that you will never justify
banning a procedure that poses less risk to pregnant women than the
alternatives?
You have confirmed that you don't give a ******* about women, Bobby.
You'd rather put them at increased risk to get your way. We can now
add 'misogynist' to 'bigot' to our stable of terms for you. Your need
to exert control on everything is only confirmed by your feeble
attempts to portray your lack of ability to answer questions or back
up your statements as 'baiting'.
That is why you're nothing more than an amusing sideshow, Bobby. Your
little meltdowns are funny, nothing more.
The reason I post after you, Bobby, is that it gives you an
opportunity to expose what a damaged human being you are. If you would
just *once* show the honesty and integrity required to back up what
you say, you might be able to begin countering your well-earned
reputation as an idiot and a troll - but I won't bet on you doing
that. I won't claim any moral high ground, either, but I back up what
I say and I provide sources for my claims. You do not (you steal them,
however).
You say you consider me 'mentally ill'? I know that's just your excuse
to avoid justifying what you say, Bobby. Banning ID&E puts women that
are already in a life-threatening situation at even more risk, and
*you* think that's acceptable.
(Not that Bobby will even read this, of course. He's shown that he
won't. Or maybe can't).

You say you consider me 'mentally ill'? I know that's just your excuse
to avoid justifying what you say, Bobby. Banning ID&E puts women that
are already in a life-threatening situation at even more risk, and
*you* think that's acceptable.

I totally support banning PBA, that is my stand on the issue. Period.
If a woman's life is at risk, that is another issue and I support her having
her life saved.
I have stated that many times through out the past 2 years I have posted in
a NG. It is the ONLY reason I see justification for abortion.
However, you chose to ignore that and make up your false accusations and
lies. Which is why I don't care for you or anyone of your ilk.
So do what you please Adam, say what you will. You have your little club of
followers. They think just like you, you all should get along
perfectly..:o)


(Not that Bobby will even read this, of course. He's shown that he
won't. Or maybe can't).

So, you support abortion in life-threatening situations, but you want
to see a total ban on the procedure that poses the *least* risk to a
woman's health in *the same situation*.
How very considerate of you, Bobby. Wouldn't want to minimize the risk
too much, after all. </sarcasm>
