Okay, although I am Pro-Life, I also try to be fair. I did not read what either Planned Parenthood or the Pro-Life people have on this topic, I read the actual wording that the Senate bill includes: Partial Birth Abortions

This states several times that this procedure is not used when the life of the mother is in jeopardy - which is why I wanted to read the text. In every case of abortion for the concern of the life of the mother that I've ever heard of, it has been within the first trimester - which is not when partial birth abortions happen.

For those of you who have NOT read Pro-Life literature, or have spoken to someone very knowledgable on the topic, very few Pro-Life doctors would refuse an abortion on the grounds of the life of the mother (ie: tubal pregnancy, cancer). That's a scare tactic used by Pro-Abortion Advocates which doesn't ring true in real life situations.

Obviously, I find this a victory for a more humane United States.
