Stealing Bush's Thunder

D&X Abortion Supporters Go To Court
Before Bush Signs Ban Into Law
Opponents of the congressional ban on a type of late-term abortion went to court Friday, filing three federal lawsuits seeking to block legislation they say threatens the health and constitutional rights of women. The new law, expected to be signed by President Bush on Wednesday, would ban certain types of abortion procedures on fetuses that are roughly 14 weeks or older, doctors say. Opponents of the procedures call them partial-birth abortions. Friday's legal moves were an unusual move by Planned Parenthood, the Center For Reproductive Rights and the American Civil Liberties Union, because the lawsuits were lodged before the measure became law.

Ending "Legal" Abortion
Pro-life forces have unwittingly adopted strategies that reinforce the opposition's rhetoric and undermine their own. As a result, there are any number of politicians who qualify as pro-life so long as they support any measure, no matter how modest, limiting a woman's right to an abortion. This must end.
