Rick Santorum for President in 2008!

[MattinNJ]

Thank God Ping and BTTT

[GraniteStateConservative]

I recall you thought that L'affaire Lott was just a way to ditch plans for this ban. Well, we ditched him and we got a PBA ban, too. Two strokes of good luck.

Santorum in 2008?

[Stopislamnow]

Score one for decent, humane society.

Proud of Santorum and the Pubs today.

[steveegg]

Paging Show. Paging TLBSHOW. Looks like we won a round (though I won't count my votes before they're cast considering that this IS the Senate).

[k2blader]

Pro-Life bump!

The day's events reflected hardened political lines on abortion, an issue that Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., said was dividing America as deeply as slavery did in the 19th century.

Damn if the RATs ain't on the wrong side of history again.

[1Old Pro]

Another Bush promise met. This must be a bad day for Hitlery.

I sure hope I'm not dreaming after reading this!

Discussion of Santorum on the Senate floor here

[hattend]

"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.

Wasn't it Santorum that was asking Boxer if a baby is still considered a fetus and can be killed if only the toe was still in the birth canal and Boxer just had no answer for that question? She absolutely refused to go on record with a yes or no answer.

This was about 4-5 years ago...anybody remember that?

I posted this two days ago, but thought it would work here as well:

Three times during Clinton's presidency PBA was passed by both houses, only to be vetoed at his desk. Somehow, I don't think it will be vetoed this time.

Go pop some popcorn, and get ready for the plaintive wails of the NAG crowd howling in their irrelevancy. In fact, it's about time that their precious "Constitutional Right" (which appears nowhere in the Constitution) saw some limits... preferably as many as there are to my Second Amendment rights, which are explicitly delineated, and more strongly-worded than any other expressly protected right. "Shall not infringe"!

[MEGoody]

Praying fervently that this gets passed quickly.

[OldFriend]

NJ has a ban on partial birth abortion, which Christie Whitless signed after at first vetoing the bill. Evidently there is wording that meets the Supreme Court's standards.

[Fury]

Would the Democrats perhaps filibuster this? Can they?

[Askel5]

The legislation includes an exemption in cases in which the procedure is necessary to save the life of the mother.

In other words, it's another essentially worthless squandering of moral capital to accomplish nothing of substance.

It puts our daughters in harm's way," countered Sen. Barbara Boxer

Since our daughters start in our wombs, Senator 'Vlad the Impaler' Boxer, all abortions put our daughters (and sons) in harm's way.
