Breaking News—
“Using a procedure determined by the U.S. Congress, the executioner inserted a sharp probe into the prisoner’s brain and twisted to scramble the brain, causing death”
Sounds barbaric, doesn’t it?
But that is exactly what the Congress is attapting to enact at this very moment!
Both house’s are unhappy that the Supreme Court has upheld state laws which ban the procedure commonly referred to as "Partial Birth Abortion".
In the House, H.R.1964 is being quietly pushed along while in the Senate they are sneaking through S1173.
S1173 reads in part: (H.R.1964 contains an equivalent statement)
“(9) Further threatening Roe, the Supreme Court recently upheld the first-ever Federal ban on an abortion procedure, which has no exception to protect a woman's health. The majority decision in Gonzales v. Carhart (05-380, slip op. April 18, 2007) and Gonzales v. Planned Parenthood Federation of America fails to protect a woman's health, a core tenet of Roe v. Wade. Dissenting in that case, Justice Ginsburg called the majority's opinion `alarming', and stated that, `[f]or the first time since Roe, the Court blesses a prohibition with no exception safeguarding a woman's health'. Further, she said, the Federal ban `and the Court's defense of it cannot be understood as anything other than an effort to chip away at a right declared again and again by this Court'.”
Contrary to the implication of both bills, there are no situations in which not using this procedure endangers a woman’s physical or mental heath.
In their entirety these bills would attempt to tie the courts hands from acting to end current or any future “Right to choose” procedure.
No matter where one stands on the issue of abortion, it is hard to argue that delivering all but the child’s head and then killing it my scrambling the brain doesn't amount to murder.
Stopping this barbaric procedure is not even remotely a threat to a woman’s right to choose.

Can't these Bastard's ever get the message from the voters?
We slapped them down on amnesty and they keep trying to slip it through as a rider on other bills.
We buy SUV's because we don't want to get killed in the Cracker Jack cars that came from CAFE standards. So they want to place ridiculously bad CAFE limits on SUV's and Truck's.
We fought to end the murder of new born infants in the name of Women's Rights. Then the Supreme Court upheld it. So now they are going to over turn the court.
How much more of this crap are we going to tolerate before we have a "Gun Powder" recall of both houses of Congress?
They seem to have made themselves kings and queens.
If we could have take 2 on 9/11, the preferred script would allow for Flight 93 to wipe out Congress and the passengers to have aborted all three of the other flights.
Who says that there are no cases where a woman won't be harmed by not having this procedure?
The Supreme Court ruled that to be the case based on the testimony of numerous doctors and representatives of the AMA.
