Senate Passes Partial Birth
Abortion Ban
WASHINGTON - The Senate on Tuesday voted to ban
the practice that critics call partial birth abortion, sending President
Bush a measure that supporters and foes alike said could alter the future
of U.S. abortion rights. A court challenge is certain.
Years in the making, the bill imposes the most
far-reaching limits on abortion since the Supreme Court in 1973 confirmed
a woman's right to end a pregnancy.
"This is an enormous day. It's been a long seven-year
fight about the issue of partial birth abortion," said Sen. Sam Brownback,
R-Kan. He was a leader of the drive to end abortions, generally carried
out in the second or third trimester, in which a fetus is partially delivered
before being killed.
Bush, traveling in Asia, said in a statement,
"This is very important legislation that will end an abhorrent practice
and continue to build a culture of life in America."
Opponents of the bill also stressed its importance,
for different reasons.
"This is indeed a historic day," said Sen. Barbara
Boxer, D-Calif., lead opponent, "because for the first time in history
Congress is banning a medical procedure that is considered medically necessary
by physicians."
