It may not be all I had hoped for, as you stated. But it is a step in the right direction. I guess I'm just relieved to SEE any movement in the RIGHT direction. My hopes were definelty higher than what the act proposes. But I do like the trend.

Here is an excerpt I particularly liked "Nevertheless, the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League (NARAL) attacked the bill after its original introduction in 2000. In a July 20, 2000 statement, NARAL said the bill would "effectively grant legal personhood to a pre-viable fetus “in direct conflict with Roe [v. Wade]."

Anything that upsets that group.. makes me happy!! :o)

It is a step in the right direction and I'm happy to see it. It also shows how far into barbarism we've slipped since Roe. The fact that viable infants, entirely outside the womb, needed legislation to protect their most basic human right offers a glimpse of the horror.

Anyone want to argue the slippery slope theory now?

Yeah, it does give one something to chuckle about at the end of a hot day! Inch by inch it's a cinch. Yard by yard it's too hard. We'll take the inches for now....
