[A Black Falcon]

Since when is it not medically documented fact that certain births can put the mother's life at risk? Guess it's because the mother is obviously a CORRUPT COMMUNIST CRIMINAL HIPPIE SCUM ADULT who HATES her pure, innocent, God-produced child and WANTS TO KILL IT. Are they claiming that doctors have become so politicized, that they've decided that peer-reviewed, documented evidence is fraudulent and a con to defy the GOP's bidding? This sounds like pure stupidity. I'm begging you, tell me there's something I'm missing here, some reason for them to have at least a sound argument.

You're not missing anything. To them it's not a medical issue, it's a moral issue... it doesn't matter that people would probably die if the ban was enforced, it must happen anyway... and this becomes particularly true since partial-birth is not the end of the road. It's just one step on their path to banning abortion completely again in the US.

My candidate Duckworth lost, but I'm glad to see the Dems take control of Congress. I think this is just the kick in the ass Bush needs to try actually working together with his opponents.

His speech today sounded completely different from everything we've heard from him over the past four to six years, that's for sure... :D (the Democrats had the Senate for about a year and a half from mid 2001-end of 2002 because of Jim Jeffords switching sides; I don't exactly remember how Bush dealt with it, but with a Republican house, he could afford to kind of ignore them I think...)
