Changes to Abortion
Finally, Pro-life groups have won a small battle in the war against children: a law banning Partial-birth Abortions passed the Senate yesterday and President Bush has said he will sign it. This could be the start of a turning of the tide in the Abortion debate; I was especially pleased to see that 16 Democrats, including Daschle, voted for the measure - this says something about how barbaric the procedure is.
This is actually the third time this bill has been passed by Congress, however former President Clinton vetoed the measure both of the first two times and Congress was unable to override his veto. The next steps will be a constitutional challenge, likely by the ACLU (Anti-Christian Liberties Union) or Planned Parenthood (what a despicable group) over the constitutionality of the measure. Let's all start praying now that the judges see the justice in keeping this law on the books.
One note, I'd like to thank former President Bush Sr. He apparently did something right: in two days his sons have both moved to save the lives of the helpless. Yesterday Governor Bush saved the life of a woman in Florida and today President Bush will save the lives of many, many babies by signing this bill into law.
Perhaps this is the beginning of a better, ProLife America? We can only pray.

There's a great organization called Priests for Life which will send you a prayer card with a prayer for closing an abortion clinic. The movement over the years has been very effective helping to convert and shut almost half of the independently run abortion clinics in the U.S. However, the King Dragon (Planned Parenthood) still needs much work. Take great hope from these victories and continue to move forward and defend life at all stages.
