CONGRESS TO, ONCE AGAIN, TAKE UP PARTIAL-BIRTH ABORTION
WASHINGTON, DC (CWNews.com) - The House of Representatives
will vote on a proposed ban on partial-birth abortions on
April 5, the third time Congress will attempt to ban the
gruesome procedure.
President Clinton has twice vetoed a ban and the Senate was
unable to muster enough votes for a two-thirds majority to
override.
House Majority Leader Dick Armey, R-Texas, said today that
the House will return to the issue because "this barbaric
procedure has no place in a civilized society." Armey said
he hoped "the president will search his heart and do the
right thing this time."
