I wonder how they would feel about taking minors across state lines to buy cigarettes or sign for a high-interest credit card.

This may be an important bill, but I'd sure like the Senate to get moving on confirming the federal judges President Bush has named for confirmation. I'd also like the President to name the 30 or so more names for unfilled judicial vacancies.

If the conservatives want issues to go their way, they better get some judges in those lifetime federal judge jobs. One liberal federal judge can defeat a referendum passed by millions in a state election.

NOW and the abortion lobby are clearly on the ropes. It's time to go all out and support a constitutional amendment banning abortion. The iron is hot. The pro-life movement is galvanized thanks to the President vetoing that stupid stem-cell bill. Let the battle royale begin, IMO.

They have no feeling other than their own warped
and damning disdain for the life of the unborn...
How can Barbara Boxer represent anyone that is
pro-life..and against killing babies...they yell
about killing in Iraq...these babies never got a
chance...leave it up to the lying liberals and this
country will shrink from the human race if they get
in power....Jake

"How can Barbara Boxer represent anyone that is

Since her district is San Francisco, it may not be an issue.

I'm sure Hillary would not have objected if someone took Chelsea across state lines for an abortion without her knowledge or consent.

As always the pro death leaders say "I am not pro abortion." Bull. If that were true they would not oppose legislation like this.

We need a federal law to give teeth to state parental notification laws. A child cannot get an aspirin without getting parents' OK but a female child can get an abortion or to be taken to have one done without her parents finding out about it. That's wrong and needs to be changed.

Ensign and Sessions noted that a child needs parental permission to receive aspirin at school and to go on a field trip, but no parental consent is required for an abortion.


The above reminds me of straining at a knat, and swallowing a camel-- anyway, it makes about as much sense.

I'd like to see us REALLY go all out and support a Right To Life Amendment that would outlaw both abortion and euthanazia.

Barbara Boxer (news, bio, voting record), D-Calif., who is managing opposition to the bill during floor debate, said, "Instead of doing something to improve the health of women and girls, the Republican leadership is spending precious time on a bill that protects incest predators

Actually, I thought it was the laws that allow a child to have an abortion without the knowledge of the parents that protects the predator.

The opponents here know what they like and the last thing they'll stand for is any interference.

One does wonder if Boxer's husband is into this sort of thing, or is she protecting someone else.

Having a federal law about parental notification is almost as bad as having a federal law about abortion. But, at least this would be a law that people vote on, not a mandate from a panel of judges.

Opponents say the bill would make criminals of well-meaning confidants, such as relatives and clergy members, who might help a pregnant teen whose parents are abusive.

Cry me a river. Go to the court to seek protection from the abusive parents.

Usually I'm not a big fan of any federal intervention where a state could conceivably do the job. However, this by definition is a matter involving interstate conveyance, and that means federal jurisdiction is legitimate. Also, it's legitimate for the federal government to prevent one state from undermining another state's laws.
