But Santorum criticized it. "It eliminates the ban on partial birth abortion," he said, and leaves it up to a doctor to decide when a fetus is viable. "If the doctor says this child is not viable there's no review" by the courts, he said. The notion that the serial killer to be paid for the deed if he does it or not paid if he doesn't do it makes one think, perhaps the killer isn't the proper person to be deciding the viability of the child about to be slaughtewred or the risk of continuing the pregnancy. Durbin's alternative was a ruse to keep this particular method of infanticide legal. The democrat party is now clearly on record as the prime defender of the indefensible. They will spin it in so many ways, but it all comes down to embracing infanticide or banning this particular method of killing alive babies. [BTW, Hillary called these vicitms of PBA 'babies' during her feckless time on the Senate floor. But the complicit fawning media will spin her horrendous failure in the debate as a 'principled stance' or some other lying assertion.]

Much prayer and much hard work is now coming to fruition.
But the task is far from complete until every unborn babe enjoys the unalienable blessings of life and liberty that every child of God, and every American, deserves and is guaranteed by our founding documents.
We need to offer our thanks to the Almighty, celebrate the victory, and soldier on.
We can't rest while there is still one pro-death legislator or judge in America.

"...now on the Senate floor talking about how abortion and slavery are the same moral issue that demand the same outcome..."
My brother's father-in-law wrote this article back in the 80's, and I insisted it be posted somewhere instead of languishing on his hard-drive. I thought it was an excellent argument.
I Pray Not.

I can't wait for the signing ceremony, though I can hear the libs wailing now: "All Bush cares about is American babies, while he bombs Iraqi babies." (With no mention of the children & adults suffering for decades at the hands of the murderous Saddam.)
To: EternalVigilance
A-MEN!

OK I got this site form FR but can't figure out how to call up whati'm looking for.
How can I find the back and forth between Hitlary and Santorum today when he asked her if "she should chose what child lives and which child dies"
Thanks for any help.

Less Iraqis will die in the process of us liberating them than would die under the 'tender mercies' of Hussein in a month.
But you're right; the liberals will whine and lie in any case.

I looked here and it appears there is a two day delay in transcripts.
I couldn't find anything with the link you provided.

"This bill doesn't protect the health of women. It puts our daughters in harm's way," countered Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., Santorum's principal antagonist across three days of occasionally emotional debate.I've got news for you Barbie, your son's are in harms way also when the abortionist sidles up to your birth canal with scissors and suction tube.

He certainly did, but don't count on him to admit it.
He's always right, you know?

I'd like a list of the senators voting to affirm Roe v. Wade. In particular, I'm wondering about Zell Miller. I thought somebody on the other thread (the C-span thread) said that he had voted "no" on that. (If so, then it is especially amazing that Georgia seems fated to elect a pro-abort RINO to replace him!)
To: kattracks
I still don't understand the focus on a specific procedure -- seems to me that it would make more sense to ban post-viability abortions except when the mother's life is in danger. And to Santorum's point, I think the doctor is the right person to judge viability (rather than the government).
