Are you confusing this legislation with the partial birth abortion ban? While I applaud Bush signing this bill, it does not stop PBA.

Yes it does. You have to see the legislation that happened previously in congress. They called a child that could survive out of the womb, a baby instead of a fetus. They humanized it. This is heading in the right direction.

What we need is the act to be put on the forum. I hope someone can find it, and soon. That way there won't be any confusion regarding what he just signed. In listening to him, he was explaining the rights of the unborn. I really need to get the act and put it on here.

I'm going searching for it..and I will check back on occassion to see if it is already here.

Partial birth abortion ban just passed the House (again) on 7/24. Now it's to the Senate, where it probably won't even get a vote, thanks to Daschle. And if it does, I'd be surprised to see it pass. Too bad, because I really think Bush would sign it into law, while it was vetoed twice by Clinton. GRR!!!

Anyway, this is good news regardless. But tainted by bad from PA - a judge there just overturned a temporary injuction barring an abortion sought by a woman whose ex-boyfriend is trying to keep his child alive. Unreal. We expect men to support a child financially if a woman decides to give birth, but give the father no rights whatsoever in preventing an abortion.
