The language about the procedure, while questionable, is still no different from the House version. It seeks to ban Partial Birth Abortion, not eliminate late term abortion alltogether. I wish we could do that - maybe next session.

The thing that feels like a betrayal is Section 4, the re-affirmation of Roe v. Wade. Having so many Republicans vote for something that says that killing babies is an "important constitutional right" feels like a cold knife in the back to every pro-life Republican.

That being said, I'm sure section 4 will be dropped in committee and won't be in the final version signed by the President. It was just politics - a way to get the thing through the Senate and past the obstructionist Dems.

The net effect is that, once signed, the grisly Partial Birth Abortion procedure will be outlawed in America. A victory, to be sure. But why do I still feel betrayed by this bill?

You should not feel betrayed by this bill. As far as I am concerned, when it comes to the abortion issue, any movement of the ball downfield is a win. There are no "Hail Mary's" when it comes to this issue. We will have to fight the abortion industry and the feminazis tooth and nail, one small step at a time. Can you imagine playing ball with someone that flails their arms and storms off the field because we didn't score an immediate touchdown? Or complain that the coach is actually working for the other team? When I see people "flailing", I can only conclude they are not looking at what it takes to make a goal, or they are simply a weak player helping the other team.

We can be disappointed in what some in our Party do, but we need to understand that this is a small step.

Limiting access is another way to win on this issue, working at the local level, educating young people on the health hazards and moral hazards of killing the unborn, making those that perform abortions feel professionally lower than a garbage collector.

I also believe the 4D technology will help us in this battle. To think the abortion battle can be won in the courts or legislatively is simply not realistic.

Stay positive on this.
