Abortion is supposed to be a regional issue.

I motion for final vote on this bill.

The Senate has the power to regulate interstate commerce. This doesn't deal with the issue of abortion in the way we think about it (ban vs. legalize). This is a matter of licensing, regulation, etc. That circumvents the constitutional limits on the Senate's power to regulate abortion.

I suppose I could agree to an exception for life-threatening emergency abortions as attested to by medical professionals. However, PiT, the idea is to create a logistical nightmare for an industry built on the destruction of life. I don't want to make their job easy. I want the practice of abortion limited to absolute medical necessity, and even then I believe it should be left to the discretion of the woman.

If you're in the business of wanting to make life easy for abortionists, then you shouldn't vote for this bill but you also shouldn't call yourself a conservative.

Do you mean to tell me that a hospital should be forced to tell women that either she and her child dies, or they induce early child birth with an extremely high rate of death for the child but practically zero for the mother? I hope you don't honestly believe it is medically possible to have a choice between the life of the mother and the baby.

Keep in mind, the guy single handedly voted into office a leftwing super-majority just over a year ago and now rails on and on about conservative purity.

Just saw this, Yankee.

Cris is not, nor has he ever been a conservative. A "supermajority," though I object to the use of that term, requires a lot more than one vote. Years of failure by the Atlasian Right is what gave us a leftwing Senate. It's the failure of our conservative party and your sclerotic leadership.

I don't want this whole thing to be a personality sh**t-show. Let's stop with the personal attacks and actually get some decent legislation written.
