Partial Birth Abortion
WASHINGTON (AP) - Abortion opponents on Tuesday celebrated what will be their first success in imposing a federal ban on a type of abortion. Next up is a fierce legal fight over whether the ban violates a woman's right to end a pregnancy.
The ban on what opponents call partial birth abortion was likely to pass by a wide margin late Tuesday in the Senate. Three weeks ago, the House passed the bill with a 281-142 vote, and Senate action would send it to President Bush, who strongly supports the ban. The legislation would ban a procedure, generally performed in the second or third trimester, in which a fetus is partially delivered before a doctor punctures the skull.
[The remainder of this questionable medical procedure has been omitted in the interests of common decency. I think this bill is long overdue.]
