"(It’s a) crime to harm a fetus during an assault on a pregnant woman. I can see how this would offend muggers. "A law last year denied federal funds to state and local agencies that act against health care providers and insurers because they don't provide or pay for abortions. The government is not in the business of funding abortion and it should be the right of any state, agency or Insurance company to have that same option. "In 2003, a procedure - generally carried out in the second or third trimester - (was outlawed) in which a fetus is partially delivered before being aborted. Parial birth abortion just upheld by the SCOTUS. I can see how this would offend those 3 doctors who performed this butcher method when there are many other methods that are legal and much safer. "In 2002, lawmakers amended the legal definitions for person, human being, child and individual to include any fetus that survives an abortion procedure. Heaven forbid that a fetus who survived and was born should be protected. "Separately, Senate abortion opponents last month defeated Democratic amendments to a bankruptcy bill that would have restricted the ability of abortion clinic protesters to file for bankruptcy when confronted with large court fines or damages." This applies to 2 people a year. 34 states have passed laws requiring the notification of parents by under age children prior to having an abortion. Notice it does not deny any rights. It just requires a "RECKONING" with a young childs stupidity. I don't know bout you but I would prefer to know what my daughter is up too. Conversely this is a states rights issue. Thru all this I find it amazing how the left continually announces how the Religious right is passing all these bills to have abortion restricted and yet......as the above shows there has been very little activity as far as laws go. Another classic example of "Talking points" distorting the truth. The following are laws that have been enacted during Bush’s presidency which relates to Abortion.
