Hmph. I didn't even know they were seeing each other.
Santorum went on to address Clinton:
The other thing you said was the chart I had up is ``deceptive.'' I am very curious about how you came to that conclusion. Is it deceptive because it shows a perfectly formed baby?
Thank YOU Sen. Santorum.
The camera didn't show Madam Serpents face, but I certainly could imagine her recoil.
Yes, he/she will be born a liberal nonthinking person. The good news is, their brain will hardly ever be used.
I love that: "a health procedure!" Like removing a wart. It is only tissue. You would be surprised the number of women (in college no less) that do not really know what occurs in a partial birth abortion. Maybe Hildebeast could educate them....
Is this bill really about what the sponsors say, or is it, as they candidly admit, the beginning of the end--to go back in this country to back-alley abortions, to women dying from botched, illegal procedures? I think you can draw your own conclusions.
Did the silly cow ever hear of birth control, or, heaven forbid, abstaining until marriage? How about that non-sexual means of relief practiced by her husband: oral sex with a person the age of your own daughter?
My reading of the legislative language you have put forth, makes a very clear argument that this is a slippery slope; that there are going to be not only difficulties in defining procedures, but the fact is that once you have criminalized this procedure, what doctor will perform any medically necessary procedure?
The slippery slope works both ways. Once human life has been rendered worthless, you can't easily go back. She keeps calling it "medically necessary." See below.
Is the Senator aware of Ron Fitzsimmons who runs the Association of Abortion Clinics? He has said, when the argument was made by many of the people Senator Boxer and Senator Murray and yourself referred to, who came forward and talked about this being medically necessary or necessary because of complications late in pregnancy--Ron Fitzsimmons said he lied through his teeth when he gave that argument? That was his term. He said, ``I lied through my teeth'' that this was the case. He said it is a dirty little secret, and we all know--those are his terms--that late-term abortions are performed, and the vast majority of late-term abortions are performed on healthy mothers with healthy babies.
I refer the Senator to the State of Kansas where they have to report the reason for a partial-birth abortion; 182 were done last year, or the year before, and of those 182, none--zero--were done because of a problem with the child or a physical problem with the mother. They were classified as mental health.
What if the woman has a fight, gets a divorce etc., and doesn't want to bear the child of her husband or ex? Maybe we should have a waiting period similar to that the libs are trying to impose on gun owners. A nice 3 month cooling off period might be necessary!!!
Thank you, Senator Santorum.
You know, it seems to me that lots of rich people get away with a lot of crimes that poor people get caught for. Like drugs, for instance.
Does that mean Sen. Clinton is in favor of legalizing them?
Anyway, the argument is specious. When abortion was illegal, people of means who got abortions in America were just as guilty of breaking the law as anyone eles. That they could afford more competent lawbreaking doctors does not change that.
As for the idea that we had to change our laws because some poeple could fly to Sweden for abortions, if that is a basis for legislating, that our sovereginity ends at the borders, then we might as well have no laws whatsoever.

Somehow, I'm getting the feeling that Hiilary knows someone in particular, of means, who had an abortion prior to Roe vs Wade. It may have been a classmate at Wellsley or Yale but I truly believe she has a "secret". Something may be in her thesis which has been sealed.
